I have it on good authority that one of the best ways to change your life around is to clean out your closets. Or bookshelves. Or garage. Or laundry room.

It seems that it’s not just a way to get more space or a way to get out of that Very Special Episode of Hoarders. No, the idea is that you create psychic space in your life when you clean out the physical spaces of your life.

If that is true, then I am giving myself The Mother of All Psychic Enemas right now as I march through the home I have lived in for twenty years and donate a bunch metric tonne of books, clothing, games, and furniture to Goodwill.

Last night it was the science fiction section of the bookcases in my bedroom. Kept all the Star Trek books, of course (even the dumb ones) and all the Heinlein and Asimov and Clarke.

Felt good.

What is the Besst project? 

And why is it called Besst?
