You strangle everything you cling to.
Our society is suffering from an illness called stuffitis.
You lose traction when you remove all friction.
When in doubt, don’t upgrade!
The only way to let go is to stop clinging.
It’s hard to find a needle in a haystack—even harder to find it in a needlestack.
If it’s not worth sorting through, it’s not worth keeping.
Internal clutter is a side effect of external clutter.

One of my favorite sayings I say to myself and share when talking about younger peoples “mistakes”…”You can’t put old head on young shoulders. “
