Combat Clutter

This quote is a follow-up to my last post, The Empowerment of...Organization?
I just found it; it's from the woman who made the Daily Docket that I am loving.


"But I've come to realize that those things are just things, and that while they aren't inherently evil, they can actually erode my family's purpose in life--or at least water down the potency of our choices. They can multiply the surfaces I need to dust. They can dwindle my checking account. They can even cause stress. And they can keep my family from living life to its fullest, because we've slowly allowed our stuff to own us."
