Before doing this, I thought “finding things easily” would be a big one. While I do find things more easily, that’s actually a minor benefit. The biggest benefits are:
Lower baseline mental overhead.
It was really easy to upgrade things. There’s no point to upgrading junk. It’s counterproductive, but when I have only a small number of things, it’s affordable to upgrade. It’s easy to buy nice clothes when I only own a tiny number of them. I also replaced most of my books with an e-ink tablet that works way better, at least for me.
