453: How Do I Even Know Where To Start With My Mess?
Questions with Kelly and Kathi
Another great episode of questions with Kelly and Kathi is here. In this episode, they’re addressing one of the most common questions in clutter free. How do we know where to start with our mess? Decluttering in action is all about making decision after decision. After too many decisions, decision fatigue sets in. We have all tried to put systems around our clutter. Kathi leads us in a better way and teaches us how to start with these four principles:
- You can’t organize clutter
- The simpler the system the better
- Ask yourself where you would look for certain items when you need them
- Label everything like it belongs in a kindergarten room
