Financial Sorcery: Magical Strategies to Create Real and Lasting - Jason Miller 2012
Why can’t I keep my house in order?
You can’t tidy if you’ve never learned how
A tidying marathon doesn’t cause rebound
Tidy a little a day and you’ll be tidying forever
Why you should aim for perfection
The moment you start you reset your life
Sort by category, not by location
Don’t change the method to suit your personality
Make tidying a special event, not a daily chore
Finish discarding first
Start by discarding, all at once, intensely and completely
Before you start, visualize your destination
Selection criterion: does it spark joy?
Starting with mementos spells certain failure
If you’re mad at your family, your room may be the cause
What you don’t need, your family doesn’t either
Tidying is a dialogue with one’s self
What to do when you can’t throw something away
Tidying by category works like magic
Astounding stockpiles I have seen
Reduce until you reach the point where something clicks
Follow your intuition and all will be well
Storing your things to make your life shine
Designate a place for each thing
Storage: pursue ultimate simplicity
Forget about “flow planning” and “frequency of use”
Never pile things: vertical storage is the key
No need for commercial storage items
The best way to store bags is in another bag
Items that usurp floor space belong in the closet
Keep things out of the bath and the kitchen sink
Make the top shelf of the bookcase your personal shrine
Decorate your closet with your secret delights
Unpack and de-tag new clothes immediately
Don’t underestimate the “noise” of written information
Appreciate your possessions and gain strong allies
The magic of tidying dramatically transforms your life
Put your house in order and discover what you really want to do
Gaining confidence in life through the magic of tidying
An attachment to the past or anxiety about the future
Learning that you can do without
Your possessions want to help you
Your living space affects your body
Is it true that tidying increases good fortune?
How to identify what is truly precious
Being surrounded by things that spark joy makes you happy
