Marie Kondo Quotes

When your room is clean and uncluttered, you have no choice but to examine your inner state.

Tidying is the act of confronting yourself.

Through the process of selecting only those things that inspire joy, you can identify precisely what you love and what you need.

If 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.

Tidy a little a day and you’ll be tidying forever.

We amass material things for the same reason that we eat—to satisfy a craving. Buying on impulse and eating and drinking to excess are attempts to alleviate stress.

All 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.

Don’t forget that the god of tidying up is always on your side as long as you are committed to getting it done.

The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life.

When deciding how to spend your time, remember: Don’t trade an activity you’d love to pursue for a reward you don’t value.
