"Do I need it? Do I use it? Do I love it?"
"One of the worst things we can do is to do well something that we don't have to do at all."
"Things that can be done at any time are often done at no time."
"The stewing is worse than the doing."
"The best way to anticipate what's going to happen in the future is what's happened in the past."
"There's an unwillingness to accept that things are worth only what people will pay for them."
"So much of clutter really is about delaying decision making."
"The more we can decide now, the easier it gets latter."
"Anything you can do in less than one minute, do it without delay."
