Full timing does mean down-sizing considerably. How many pots and pans do you "really" need? In my bachelor days, I simply opened a can of green beans, pulled off the paper label, and put the can right on the stove to heat it up. I think I had one pot and one plate one fork one spoon. (Of course ... I was a bachelor too!) I reused soda bottles for drinking , and if I had a guest, I used paper plates and plastic forks.
No, I don't expect you to become this type of a minimalist, you just need to really ask yourself, do you "really" need all that "stuff?"
