I've been wanting a non-location-specific job for a while now, and I have lots of things I just can't do because my workplace won't allow me to do them whilst not in the office, 9am-5pm. Even though I basically just spend the whole time sat at my desk typing even when I'm in the office. I'd love to try wandering around for a bit, but I doubt that's going to be an option for me anytime soon.
In terms of the amount of useless stuff around - yes, I agree! I try to cut my shopping down by thinking about where I would put it. Everything in my flat has a place, and unless there's a space for a new thing, I don't buy it. That forces me to think about having it in my space, and living with it, and the space it would take up.
As another introvert - same here! The idea of not having some space I can just curl up in and not be around people is kinda scary. I found myself literally huddled under a blanket on the sofa the other day because I had a partner staying with me for a week and sharing my bed, and I couldn't get away. And I just shut right down, because I'd been trying to live 'externally' for too long, and not giving myself enough space to recharge. I think I need the idea of a home base that's mine too much to do it indefinitely.
