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

Warranties are only used once a year if at all. What point is there in carefully sorting and separating them when the odds that they will be needed are so low?

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.

Our parents demanded that we clean up our rooms, but they too, had never been trained in how to do that. When it comes to tidying, we are all self-taught.

Putting your house in order is the magic that creates a vibrant and happy life.

We may think that we have stored things to suit our behavior, but usually we have unconsciously adjusted our actions to match where things are stored.

The purpose of a letter is fulfilled the moment it is received.

Your storage space is your private paradise, so personalize it to the fullest.

Don’t you think it is unnatural for us to possess things that don’t bring us joy or things that we don’t really need?

Now imagine yourself living in a space that contains only things that spark joy. Isn’t this the lifestyle you dream of?

If you use the right method and concentrate your efforts on eliminating clutter thoroughly and completely within a short span of time, you’ll see instant results that will empower you to keep your space in order after.

Taking good care of your things leads to taking good care of yourself.

Therefore, storage should reduce the effort needed to put things away, not the effort needed to get them out.

Only you can know what kind of environment makes you feel happy.

It’s far more important to adorn your home with the things you love than to keep it so bare it lacks anything that brings you joy.

No matter how wonderful things used to be, we cannot live in the past. The joy and excitement we feel here and now are more important.

Never discard anything without saying thank you and good-bye.
