Prioritize quality over quantity from "summary" of Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism by Fumio Sasaki

When we prioritize quality over quantity in our lives, we are choosing to focus on what truly matters to us. This concept is about recognizing that having more stuff does not necessarily bring us more happiness or fulfillment. Instead of accumulating a large quantity of possessions, we should strive to surround ourselves with items that bring us joy and add value to our lives. By prioritizing quality over quantity, we can create a more intentional and meaningful living space. We can curate our belongings to reflect our values and interests, rather than simply accumulating things for the sake of having them. This approach allows us to appreciate and enjoy the items we do have, rather than feeling overwhelmed by excess clutter. Quality over quantity also applies to how we spend our time and energy. Instead of trying to do everything at once or fill our schedules with endless activities, we can focus on doing fewer things but doing them well. This can lead to a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, as we devote our attention and effort to what truly matters to us.
  1. We are making a conscious choice to simplify our lives and focus on what brings us true happiness. This shift in mindset can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful existence, as we let go of the need to constantly acquire more and instead appreciate the value of what we already have. Ultimately, by choosing quality over quantity, we can create a more intentional and fulfilling life for ourselves.
