Ep 139: You Need to Swap Out this Old Decluttering Advice Right Now
Over the years I have tried several decluttering methods in search of giving the best advice I could. That has lead to a lot of successful tips and tricks. However, it has also lead to some not so great advice that I sadly held onto for too long.
I cringe inside when I think back to some of the advice I gave early on in the life of this podcast so I wanted to help set the record straight.
That’s why I’m looking back on 5 pieces of old decluttering advice that I no longer recommend. A lot has changed for me and my family on this minimalism journey and I want to do my best to steer you in the right direction.
So, if you’ve tried to declutter and get organized, but you’ve struggled, perhaps one of these bad pieces of decluttering advice is to blame. But, all hope is not lost. I also share with you what we are doing in our home now that we know better.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:
What I recommend you do instead of declutter piles
How piles have gotten me into trouble in the past
Why organizing bins are not the best first step
