  • “Trendy” is corporate jargon for “soon to go out of style.”
  • Every addiction is attached to a story about not having enough.
  • Skip the sale; keep the peace.

  • What you don’t need costs too much.
  • Leave it on the shelf today if you don’t want to declutter it tomorrow.
  • The best way to clutter your future is to live unintentionally today.
  • Your personality is paper-thin if it is tied to a brand name.
  • Letting go of expectations is the shortcut to letting go of things.
  • Advertisements exist because people are unwilling to pay for the creations they consume.
  • Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things so we can make room for life’s most important things, which aren’t things at all.
