Episode 585: 585: Designing for Decision Fatigue: Minimal Choices, Maximum Freedom
Welcome to Part 3 of the Abundant Home Conference series! In this segment, Kathi and her guest Amy Betters-Midtvedt talk about having a neurodiverse family and how having a brain that processes differently affects how people declutter. Together they discuss:
- The process of body doubling: helping someone complete a project like decluttering by completing pieces of that project for them while training them to take over the entire process eventually
- Why it’s important to decide on systems like organization and decluttering as a team
- Chaotic creativity and why not everything needs to be special all the time
This conversation is a small excerpt from the Abundant Home Conference – a half-day conference held exclusively for members of Kathi Lipp’s Clutter Free for Life membership community.
Kathi and Amy talked about offering less choices as a way to create less barriers between their people and systems. For example, two muffin choices for breakfast and not 25 muffin choices!
Question: If you could have two muffin choices for breakfast, what would you choose?
