“Everything stashed away or hidden discreetly is also stashed away in your mind and is subconsciously draining your mental energy. Why spend a valuable part of yourself polishing, washing, dusting, and thinking about [stuff]? You can’t afford [it]. It will rob you physically, emotionally and spiritually.”
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21.
Don Aslett, founder and owner of a cleaning supply company, as quoted by Jan Johnson in Abundant Simplicity (Downers Grove: IVP, 2011) 79.
