“断舍离”是由日本杂物管理咨询师山下英子提出的人生整理观念。 所谓断舍离，就是透过整理物品了解自己，整理心中的混沌，让人生舒适的行动技术。换句话说，就是利用收拾家里的杂物来整理內心的废物，让人生转而开心的方法。其中，断=断绝不需要的东西 ，舍=舍弃多余的废物 ，离=脱离对物品的执着。
断舍离非常简单，只需要以自己而不是物品为主角，去思考什么东西最适合现在的自己。只要是不符合这两个标准的东西，就立即淘汰或是送人。
通过学习和实践断舍离，人们将重新审视自己与物品的关系， 从关注物品转换为关注自我——我需不需要，一旦开始思考，并致力于将身边所有“不需要、不适合、不舒服”的东西替换为“需要、适合、舒服”的东西，就能让环境变得清爽，也会由此改善心灵环境，从外在到内在，彻底焕然一新。

拨开纷乱，直击本质，赢得轻松人生的思考技术。
献给工作、生活状态混乱不清的人。
每当看到杂乱的居住空间和镜中疲惫又忙乱的自己，心中顿生无可奈何之感，情绪也随之一点点低落，失去了对重要的人温柔以待的心情，以及和喜欢的人欢聚的机会……这种经历，想必你也有过。
为什么改变如此不易？因为，你将「整理」视为复杂的技巧、无趣的苦役……

Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this idea to our personal technology. It's the key to living a focused life in an increasingly noisy world.
In this timely and enlightening book, the bestselling author of Deep Work introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives.
Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction.
Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives, and attempts to unplug completely are complicated by the demands of family, friends and work. What we need instead is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions.
Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude. He then shares strategies for integrating these practices into your life, starting with a thirty-day "digital declutter" process that has already helped thousands feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
Technology is intrinsically neither good nor bad. The key is using it to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you. This book shows the way.
