Episode notes
Kids Room Decluttering
- Declutter kids' rooms by focusing on visibility and purging items.
- Continuously messy rooms indicate a need for more purging, leading to longer-lasting organization.
Impersonal Decluttering Rules
- Base kids' room decluttering on impersonal rules, not personal opinions.
- This avoids direct conflict, using logic like "Noni says" to enforce decluttering principles.
Easy Stuff First
- Start decluttering with easy tasks like trash removal to build momentum.
- This creates a sense of accomplishment and encourages tackling harder decisions later.
