Episode notes
Take It There Now And One-In-One-Out
- When you lack obvious homes, ask 'Where would I look for this first?' and take items there now, even if it's the spare room.
- If no space exists, remove one item to make room (one in, one out).
Storage Doesn't Fix Too Much Stuff
- Buying storage often delays decisions and preserves future clutter rather than solving it.
- Declutter first; use existing spaces or simple temporary placement before buying containers.
Declutter According To Your Threshold
- Know your personality and clutter threshold before deciding what to keep or compress into containers.
- Prioritize visible, frequently used spaces for decluttering to feel the benefit quickly.
