There are more things to gain from eliminating excess than you might imagine: time, space, freedom, and energy, for example. I’ll get into more detail in chapter 4 but let me just tell you now that the list of the things you gain is really limitless. You can’t help but fixate on something that you’re about to throw away because it’s right in front of you. And the potential gains from this action aren’t visible, so it’s hard to be aware of them. But trust me, there is actually more to gain than there is to lose.
