Minimalism for Better Mental Health: My Journey to Creating a Capsule Wardrobe
Hello, friends! Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of Tidying Up With Marie Kondo for Japanese listening practice and decluttering ideas.

To answer this question, I’ll start with the most cliche quote that comes to mind. “If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.” — Fred DeVito. I know we’ve all heard this saying before.
