“Clutter is symptomatic of delayed decision making.” -Cynthia Kyriazis

I feel like this quote is just a big ole smack in the face of ‘oh my gosh she is SO right’! But, let’s break it down.

If decluttering is basically just simplifying, then it stands to reason that the clutter got worse because no decisions were made.

That item was not given a home. It was not decided if that item served your family well. And, let’s be honest, it was not decided if you even actually liked the thing.

If decisions had been made, then that item would not be cluttering up your home. I know that this is a super tough and super hard truth. Trust me! But, I encourage you to sit with it, and really process this quote.
