I am here to bust this myth for you.</p>\n<p>When you organize the stuff in your home, you are really just making a series of decisions on how to store things.</p>\n<p>It\u2019s essentially attempting to create a system for your decision making. The problem is that when you organize your clutter you still have the same amount of decisions to make on an every day basis.</p>\n<p>When you choose to declutter, you make the decision once and are done with it forever.</p>\n<h2>Here are some real life examples of decluttering and decision fatigue.</h2>\n<p>One mom inside of the course I created, Decluttering Simplified said this:</p>\n<p>\u201cI finally chose to declutter this book, and now I am free. I never have to make a decision on it again.\u201d</p>\n<p>The book she is referring to was one that she had been trying to read for a year. It sat on her counter, her nightstand and daily she was required to make a decision about it.</p>\n<p>To read it, or not read it? Bring it up to her bedroom, or not? Spend time with her family, or read her book.</p>\n<p>She even brought it on a family vacation and made decisions on it while on vacation.</p>\n<p>What she realized is the book required her to make many decisions almost daily. Never was the decision to actually read, and benefit from the book.</p>\n<h2>The way she explained her decision fatigue was so clear.</h2>\n<p>Here is another example from a mom inside of the group. This mom decluttered a cupcake stand she never used, but made many decisions on before that.</p>\n<p>The cupcake stand represented the mom she thought she should be. It sat on her counter for a long while until she needed the counter space back.</p>\n<p>She had to decide where to put it. Which led to a series of decisions made on how to rearrange he pantry so it fit.</p>\n<p>It fit in there for a while, but was mostly in the way.</p>\n<p>Which inevitably led to her needing to make another decision on where to keep the cupcake stand.</p>\n<p>Organize a different cabinet? Declutter some tupperware to make room? Something else?</p>\n<h2>Ultimately, after a long series of decisions about a cupcake stand that was never used she decluttered it.</h2>\n<p>Now, it might not be a cupcake stand for you that is consuming all of your decision power. It can be anything \u2013 nail clippers, sunblock, toys, shoes, or a sippy cup for your kids.</p>\n<p>The point I hope you get from this episode is that your clutter requires, and demands a lot from you. In very seemingly small ways that add up over time.</p>\n<p>Decluttering is also a series of decisions you need to make.</p>\n<p>What do you do first, next and last?</p>\n<p>Where do you take the items?</p>\n<p>Should you sell them? For how much?</p>\n<p>When should you declutter? Do you include the kids, and how?</p>\n<p>You can experience decision fatigue in decluttering as well, so the less things you need to figure out yourself the more time and energy you have to spend actually decluttering.</p>\n<p>Which is exactly what I offer inside of Decluttering Simplified. Not only do you have the full step by step plan available to you, but you also have accountability and support in implementing the content.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://motherhoodsimplified.com/declutteringsimplified\">Check it out and enroll right here!&nbsp;</a></p>\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e2326004-c6e6-43ed-a112-7a1b5594f910/1121959-1587236984283-28f5536307d6e.jpg"}
