MAXIMS

Clutter is anything that gets in the way of your well-being.

When in doubt, go without.

Look inside the question for the answer.

An obligatory gift is a curse.

Conflicting desires are not a sign of moral failure.

Stress is a weapon people use to abuse themselves.

When you resent your feelings, you resist their wisdom.

Organizing is well-planned hoarding.
