Health Matters: Lessons from Marie Kondo's Quotes

Tweet

I haven't really looked up to Marie Kondo or have known that much about her. But I know how clutter around us can clutter the mind and body. Here are my thoughts about decluttering based on her insightful quotes: "Storage experts are hoarders." - Those who are good at organizing and storing things might actually be keeping too many items. Instead of getting rid of unnecessary stuff, they just find ways to store it neatly. Yep, guilty as charged. "Discard first, store later." - It's about prioritizing what to keep and making sure I don't hold on to unnecessary item. Good luck to me. "Tidying is the act of confronting yourself." - It's not just about making things neat. It's about understanding why I keep certain things and letting go of what I don't need. Of course, I'm trying. "Once you have experienced what it’s like to have a truly ordered house, you’ll feel your whole world brighten." - Having a clean and organized space makes me feel happier and more positive. But again, I can't do that much if I'm working from home and got no one else to depend to. "Tidying orders and relaxes the mind." - When I clean and organize my space, it helps me feel calmer and more focused. Well, at least, I try to organize the clutter around me. It sure is true that having lots of storage doesn't mean having a clutter-free space. I do get rid of things I don't need but not before organizing, only when the time and energy permits. But yeah, whenever I do some tidying, it helps me understand my habits and decisions.
