Minimalism pitfalls: the top mistake you’re making when decluttering (plus what to do instead)


Listen Later

Want to know the top mistake you’re making when decluttering?

 

3 guesses.

·        Keeping too much stuff?

·        Not following all the KonMari rules?

·        Trying for perfection?

 

Yep, it’s #3. The pursuit of perfection.

 

Pesky perfection, that keeps us from ever getting started on where we want to go.

Persistent perfection, always whispering in your ear, “You could organize that better.”

Promising perfection, that says, “If you do it my way, you’ll get the life you’ve dreamed of – but only if.”

 

Time for a little pep talk on how to kick that perfection procrastination to the curb (and why it’s so important!).

 

Here goes: the three mistakes perfection leads to in your decluttering.

 

What you’ll learn:

·        The myth of perfect decluttering

·        The myth of doing it the right way from the start

·        The myth of getting it right someday

 

There is no latest and greatest decluttering technique – only the best one for your family.

 

·        Don’t worry about getting it right the first time. (You won’t.)

·        Don’t worry about the possibility of perfection if you just leave it for another day. (How’s that been working for you?)

·        Don’t worry about what’s the exact right place to start decluttering. (The one that gets you moving is the right choice.)

 

Just do it – get off your rear, lock perfectionism in the closet, and start making decisions.

 

Is this helping me?

Do I really want this in my house?

Would I feel better if this were gone?

 

Leave the starting block. Your decluttered life is ahead – you just have to go meet it.

 

What decluttering decision have you been putting off?

 

You’ve got this!
