First Rule of the Clutter Corner

First Rule of the Clutter Corner

Author: Angela Brown March 21, 2022 Duration: 5:21

The first rule of the clutter corner is fundamental for permanent change. Many people declutter in a random way and it rarely sticks.  While they may have tossed items they no longer want, they haven't determined what they do want or why they collected the useless items in the first place. 

Clearing clutter then keeping it from re-entry is based on a few simple concepts shown here to help change the relationship to stuff.
