Episode 574: 574: Best of Series-Back to Basics: Asking Yourself the 3 Clarifying Questions as You Declutter
In this Best of Series episode, Kathi and her best friend, Roger Lipp, are taking the clutter free journey back to the basics. Do you need specific criteria to guide your decision making for what to keep and what to get rid of? Kathi and Roger are here to remind us of the three clarifying questions we should be asking ourselves as we declutter. Join in the conversation to learn the art of how to keep the best and get rid of the rest by knowing and practicing these three questions as you declutter:
- Do I love it?
- Do I use it?
- Would I buy it again?
Listen in as Kathi and Roger explain how asking yourself these three questions can get you past the mental block of clearing out your clutter.
Kathi mentions rotating treasured items into your decor, like her donkey figure for Fall. What treasured items do you rotate into your decor? Share in the comments!
