Decluttering is not microwaveable! May 11, 2020

Decluttering is not microwaveable! meaning there isn’t a way to make something that should take ten minutes, happen in one. And if you can...It’s not natural 🤣

Decluttering is a long game, and it often goes slower than we like - for a lot of reasons. For example

😅decision making on all the things is hard

👯‍♀️we have a lot of kids

⏰we have work and school and sports and all the things to do

🏠 we’ve spent years, or maybe even decades accumulating stuff so of course it takes time to get rid of it.

I just wanted to let you know that if you think it happens quickly, or overnight - or in a weekend, or even a month... and disappointed that even though you’ve been working your 🍑 off, and feel like you have nothing to show for it, you’re doing it exactly right and nothing is wrong with you.

This is why I love before and afters - often times you don’t even realize how much you HAVE done because we’re such immediate beings we can only see what’s left in front of us. So take them, even if they’re just for you 😊

Today’s live at 2pm eastern will be a pep talk on the decluttering long game 🏈 and how to stay sane while you stick it out.

Show notes

In this episode we follow up with Sarah in a Clutter Chronicles episode. Sarah came to the group asking for advice on how to help her hesitant to declutter daughter declutter. She felt like what worked for the majority of kids wasn't what her daughter needed, and she listened to her mom intuition and was right. She tells us how she tuned into what was going on beneath the surface for her daughter and her things and how she created space for her to both find relief from the clutter AND honor her timeline and real connections to her things.
