The zen of clean

Clutter-free living begins with an attitude of respect. Every item you possess has its own function, whether practical or sentimental. So it's important that each has it's proper space. Keep only the most useful and meaningful things - it's distracting when every surface is covered with objects. Prioritize what you really need, then think about each object's purpose and respectfully honor its place in your home.

"If it's not beautiful, useful or of sentimental value, or if you haven't seen it in a year, get rid of it!"
