“Letting go is even more important than adding.”

Being surrounded by things that bring joy makes you happy

Cherish the things you love. Cherish yourself.

To quietly work away at disposing of your own excess is actually the best way of dealing with a family that doesn’t tidy.

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.

When under the influence of certain (or some) reasons (or causes) (alcohol, war, etc – added Spir here) the low instincts are unbridled (or unrestrained).

Just wonderin’, waitin’, worryin’ about some silly little things, that just don’t add up to nothin’.

My everyday look has definitely become more low maintenance, but accessories are everything.

We add to it every now and then. It includes things like never date a guy whose computer costs more than his car (you’ll never get him to pay attention to you except over instant messages)

I rush to add that I find the Web infinitely useful for rustling up information, settling arguments or locating the legends of rock stars.

Expect nothing in return. Over time, these random acts of kindness will really add

The shuttle is the worst $20 you’ll ever save. It adds 90 minutes to whatever a Town Car or cab would have been.

Love shouldn’t make our choices for us; it should just add importance to our choices.
