Decluttering Choices: Who Calls the Shots? | EP 61 | The Decluttering Club Podcast 

Are there actually people that will subscribe to the notion that one person knows how many " ____ " that we all need ? What a cop out. I have been slowly building my declutter muscle and have back-slid several times, only to declutter again. But now I have skin in the game. I know how much mental work it took to go through that process and I can make a decision, for myself, how many " _____" I need to be comfortable and at peace. Sarah has taught me the container theory and I stand by that. I have put like with like, and when the container for those liked things is a comfortable level of full, then no more. And no additional containers so I can get more of that like thing. Oh Sarah, I am so thankful for you and your work. Your wise words, your hard work. I glean for every single podcast, every single short video, every you tube video.

If you let someone else make all your decluttering decisions for you, you never learn how to make decisions. Decision making is a muscle 💪 that needs to be flexed and built up with practice. Making yourself dependent on someone else isn't empowerment. I like The Decluttering Club's approach of asking oneself questions, that help one reach decisions.

That's crazy to say a limit on what someone else should have on basics. There are three ifvus here but we have twenty towels. When people visit we ho through them.
