“Keep only those things that speak to your heart. Then take the plunge and discard all the rest. By doing this, you can reset your life and embark on a new lifestyle.”

People who use the KonMari Method never revert to clutter again.

Storage, after all, is the sacred act of choosing a home for my belongings.

Start with clothes, then move on to books, papers, komono (miscellany), and finally things with sentimental value.

One reason so many of us never succeed at tidying is because we have too much stuff.

Never, ever tie up your stockings. Never, ever ball up your socks. ―Marie Kondo

I recommend you dispose of anything that does not fall into one of three categories: currently in use, needed for a limited period of time, or must be kept indefinitely.

Clutter is caused by a failure to return things to where they belong.

Your past will become a weight that holds you back and keeps you from living in the here and now. To put things in order means to put your past in order, too.

Caring for your possessions is the best way to motivate them to support you, their owner.

The lives of those who tidy thoroughly and completely, in a single shot, are without exception dramatically altered.

Everyone needs a sanctuary.

Clutter has only two possible causes: too much effort is required to put things away or it is unclear where things belong.

I believe that tidying is a celebration, a special send-off for those things that will be departing from the house, and therefore I dress accordingly.

Human beings can only truly cherish a limited number of things at one time. As I am both lazy and forgetful, I can’t take proper care of too many things.

To throw away what you no longer need is neither wasteful nor shameful.

You could say that tidying orders the mind while cleaning purifies it.

Because I’m rich I let the lifestyle speak, not flexing just how I be feeling.

Mental toughness is a lifestyle.

I’m at peace with what I’m doing, I feel good with what I wake up doing and about my lifestyle.

All I’m trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

Minimalism isn’t a poor lifestyle. It’s a tool to get rid of unnecessary stuff.

Let us continue to protest greed and ignorance while making positive changes in our own lifestyles.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

I promote a healthy lifestyle.
