I once heard someone say you should choose your backpack wisely. Whatever size backpack you choose, you will fill it. If you get a small one, you will fill it. If you get a huge one, you will fill it.
This has been true in my life. Whether it be in my backpack, closet, schedule, bookshelf or Evernote account, I fill it to capacity. This is not good. Filling to capacity weighs you down.
What are some areas of your life where choosing a smaller backpack would make your life better? Please share in the comments section or on social media.

I have moved from a residence of 30 years with a walk-in closet, huge work space, and lots of shelf space to a smaller room, small closet and limited shelf space. I tried to give away and throw away, but when I arrived with my four suitcases and 21 boxes, that more letting go was necessary. I have one box and a suitcase filled for the good will, but am still working on making that backpack smaller.

Me too! It is a process. Slow and steady wins the race.
