“We think we can't become a minimalist until our lives have settled down. But it's actually the other way around; we won't be able to settle down until we're having a minimalist life.”

“Ask yourself which of your items would truly be necessary if you were to start with zero belongings. What if everything you owned was stolen? What if you had to move next week?

Think about starting from scratch, and it will become clear which items are essential.”
