Quotes to ponder:
"The psychological effect of reducing any type of mess to zero is profound. It feels like a noisy fan has shut off."
"Whatever is normal to us becomes invisible, no matter how counterproductive, and we’ve simply become accustomed to tracking too many ongoing concerns in our heads."
