  • Your home must not look like a garage for storing items, whether or not you are using them
  • You need to put an end to keeping items for some future date which never comes
  • Get rid of old luggage, smaller clothes, accessories/equipment, seasonal decorations etc. that you know are not needed, or do not have any emotional-attachment to it

“Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
