How much of your home do you use? in keeping it postive

Those of us who do NOT live in a studio apartment may think we need all that space, but do we really? How much is just storage?

In NYC I have a 6 room apartment with a LONG hallway. I spend most of my time in the bedroom and living rooms (bathroom and kitchen of course). The other rooms I go into when I need something stored there - clothing from closets, crafting supplies, gifts, books, items for donation, etc. When I read, I do it in the bedroom. When I use the computer, that’s in the living room.

In CA, I have a two bedroom (one used as an office) apartment. When you walk in, there’s a “great room” - combination living room, dining room - with kitchen along a wall (used to be called a kitchenette back in the day). I walk through it, of course, and use the kitchen (and the coat closet/pantry along the side). If I used the Wii system, that’s located in the living room. But to sit there? to eat at the dining room table - rarely. I do pull books to read from the shelves in the living room, but then read them in the bedroom lying down on the bed. The computer is also in the bedroom, and I spend a LOT of time on the computer.

I have a lot of thinking to do.
