Quotes:
“Most people with clutter don’t have a good relationship with time, so coming to terms with your relationship with time will help you work on your clutter.”
“De-cluttering has little to do with the physical doing, and a lot to do with looking at the clutter through the lens of our cognitive abilities.”
