Killing Kipple
Posted: September 23rd, 2009 | Author: Chris | Filed under: Minimalism | 1 Comment »I am a clutterer. I drop mail and coins in the same place, most of the time not putting it where it should go. Over time it builds up and it ends up being a cluttered mess that I need to clean up from time to time.
I procrastinate.
When I get home, I empty my pockets and just want to relax in comfy clothes. I do not want to do anything but veg out for a bit.
I need to find a happy balance, of just spending the extra few seconds to throw away receipts if I don’t want to keep them, put change in the change jar, and mail in the keep drawer or trash it also. Those extra seconds really stop things from being all cluttered and disorganized.
So, each day now I’m going to be sure to take the little extra seconds to put things away instead of put it off for later. It should allow for a neater living space and less chaos in my life, as mundane as it may sound.
(Yes, “kipple” is from “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” by Phillip K. Dick, an awesome book you should check out)
Edit: changed “kibble” to “kipple”, my memory has failed me

I don’t enjoy pedants, but I’m going to be one anyway; I’m pretty sure the word you mean is “kipple”. Dogs eat kibble. Entropy produces kipple.
And you’re right, that is a fantastic book. Even if *spoilers* it has opera in it.
