MAXIMS
One person’s essentials are another person’s junk.
Hoarding is childish; letting go is a sign of maturity.
A habit becomes a habit only if the benefits are clear and compelling.
Ideas become clutter when they are uncoupled from the desire to take action.
Embarrassment is a sign that something is wrong with either your actions or the story you’ve been told about those actions.
Minimalism is a mindset, not a product.
Life-living is more rewarding than life-style.
Letting go isn’t only free—it’s freedom.
