1. There are people here in the UK who have taken to renting storage units where they put most of their stuff. So their homes are pretty clutter-free !!! And they go on buying stuff,most of which goes into storage !! And some of them seem to prefer their storage areas which tend to be wonderfully quiet. But they haven't gone as far as move into their storage areas !!
(Which all reminds me of what we do with a lot of gold. We dig it out of the ground,take it to places like Fort Knox,and put back in the ground there.
(Now why would aliens want to visit nuts like us?)
2. There are loads of books and courses on the market to help us all de-clutter.
3. Eugene Ionesco wrote a prescient play (The Chairs,I think.Written 1952) where,at the start,we find two people in a room. Progressively,they bring more and more chairs into the room until by the end they can't move for stuff.
