Simplify

Less things, more time.

Keeping and protecting the best things--the objects and materials you love, and those things that bring strength, comfort, and joy.

Setting the stage for greater thought, better action, learning, and growth by culling your spaces down to the most essential, meaningful things.

Starting small and building slowly and deliberately is the best way to reach simplicity, yet sometimes you reach a point where you have to work backwards by eliminating that which is no longer needed; giving away possessions that might enrich another's life and throwing away outdated things.

Simplify: a way of clearing the path towards better light at home and in the classroom making space for thought, collaboration, creation, and clarity.

Simplicity: not the most entertaining ideal to reach, but a necessary and valuable path.
