I was listening to a talk on personal productivity the other day and the speaker brought up the line, “When you say ‘yes’ to one thing, you are saying ‘no’ to something else.” You’ve probably heard that line before when it comes to decision-making or time management. However, I think this line can also apply to decluttering. Think about it, when you say ‘yes’ to keeping an item, you are saying ‘no’ to the physical space and the peace of mind you could gain from releasing that item. Afraid of Future Regrets?Look at the items surrounding you. If there are objects that you aren’t sure you can get rid of, question if you are caught up in FOMO – the fear of missing out.
When you say ‘yes’ to holding onto objects that you don’t use and don’t even like, what are you saying ‘no’ to? Let’s flip around that line and how it can help you make decisions while decluttering. “When you say ‘no’ to one thing, you are saying ‘yes’ to something else.” What would you say ‘yes’ to if you said, “No, I don’t need those things cluttering my life?” Are you someone who wants to think through the decluttering process before you jump in? The eBook, Clear Your Clutter and Create Space for Your Life comes with downloadable worksheets that help you clarify your goals for every space in your home so they support the goals you have for your life.
