MARIE KONDONever, ever tie up your stockings. Never, ever ball up your socks. ―Marie Kondo
MARIE KONDOBelieve what your heart tells you when you ask, Does this spark joy?
MARIE KONDOBeing surrounded by things that bring joy makes you happy
MARIE KONDOIf you have reduced your possessions but feel no joy at home, try gathering selected items that you really love in one spot to create your own special space.
MARIE KONDOA person’s awareness and perspective on his or her own lifestyle are far more important than any skill at sorting, storing, or whatever.
MARIE KONDOReducing the amount of stuff in our space also reduces the amount of dust, and we actually clean more often.
MARIE KONDOBut when we really delve into the reasons for why we can’t let something go, there are only two: an attachment to the past or a fear for the future.
MARIE KONDOActivity clutter comes from the things we do that take up precious time and sap our energy but don’t make a meaningful difference to our personal, professional, or even company’s mission.
MARIE KONDOAll you need to do is take the time to sit down and examine each item you own, decide whether you want to keep or discard it, and then choose where to put what you keep.
MARIE KONDOThe true purpose of a present is to be received.
MARIE KONDOOnly you can know what kind of environment makes you feel happy.
MARIE KONDOAs for you, pour your time and passion into what brings you the most joy, your mission in life.
MARIE KONDOThe real tragedy is to live your entire life without anything that brings you joy and never even realize it.
MARIE KONDONever discard anything without saying thank you and good-bye.
MARIE KONDOWhen deciding how to spend your time, remember: Don’t trade an activity you’d love to pursue for a reward you don’t value.
