12. The Habit of Eliminating: free your mind, schedule and apartment from harmful clutter

The more, the merrier. You cannot have too much of a good thing. Plenty is no plague. In English, we have numerous proverbs telling us that having a lot of something is much better than having only a little. But nowadays, we often face the opposite problem. We have too much. Too much stuff in our apartments, too many tasks on our agendas, and too much thought in our minds. Plenty of options to choose from can indeed be a plague, causing analysis paralysis.

To collect things and use tools that have high value, not the ones that maybe someday will come in handy.
