Whether or not you’re using Marie Kondo’s “KonMari” method to get organized, here are some great quotes to challenge your perspective:

“All the things you own want to be of use to you.”

“Tidying ought to be the act of restoring balance between people, their possessions and the house they live in”.

“We should be choosing what we want to keep, not what we want to get rid of.”

“The place we live should be for the person we are becoming now – not for the person we have been in the past.”

“Keep only those things that speak to your heart. Then take the plunge and discard all the rest.”

And a bonus quote for those who like presents:

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

From Marie Kondo’s bestselling book, The Magical Art of Tidying Up
