Reducing something to its lowest common denominator appeals to me.

Of course the real challenge is to reduce it to its lowest most satisfying point.  Take away too much and things become stark, uncomfortable, more of a struggle to succeed than a pleasure to peruse.

Leave too much and life is cluttered, messy, cumbersome.

Most of these decisions and feelings depend on the person.  Some people are happy in a junk yard as long as there are infinite possibilities for discovery.  Others are overwhelmed by more than a Zen garden.

I fall somewhere in between and today is the big test.  What will be the final things I give, or throw, away as I move into my new apartment?
