Today's truth bomb

2 April 2025

After 20 years of organizing, here’s something I know is true:

the less you have the more you love

It’s much easier to appreciate your belongings when you have fewer items. For example, if you inherited your grandmother’s tea cup collection, select a favorite and put it where you can see it. Then you can treasure it. That’s much better than letting the whole collection sit in a box in the basement.

If space is at a premium for you, try picking out the most special item in a collection and give away the rest. When you keep less stuff, it’s easier to love what you have.
