Marie Kondo“The objective of cleaning is not just to clean, but to feel happiness living within that environment.”
Marie Kondo“Once you learn to choose your belongings properly, you will be left with only the amount that fits perfectly in the space you own.”
Marie Kondo“About tidying up a toy box, you should let your kids experience the selection process by touching all of their toys. It's also important how they throw away their toys. They can earn a stronger sense of valuing things when they throw things away with respect and appreciation.”
Marie Kondo“The best way to find out what we really need is to get rid of what we don't.”
Marie Kondō“As I am both lazy and forgetful, I can't take proper care of too many things. That's why I want to cherish properly the things I love.”
Marie Kondō“It is not our memories but the person we have become because of those experiences that we should treasure. This is the lesson these keepsakes teach us when we sort them. The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.”
Marie Kondō“By handling each sentimental item and deciding what to discard, you process your past. If you just stow these things away in a drawer or cardboard box, before you realise it, your past will become a weight that holds you back and keeps you from living in the here and now. Pg.116-117”
Marie Kondō“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. From observing my clients, I have noticed that when they discard excess clothing, their tummies tend to slim down, when they discard books and documents, their minds become clearer, when they reduce the number of cosmetics and tidy up the area around the sink and bath, their complexion tends to become clear and their skin smooth. -p226”
