Decluttering in Slow Times versus Fast Times

When decluttering in slow times with ample time available, it is important to be thorough and take the time to identify and remove obvious trash, as well as investigate hidden clutter. By following the five-step decluttering process and maintaining a methodical approach, progress can be made and the space can be significantly improved. Going slowly allows for a better understanding of the process, builds momentum, and provides the opportunity to capture the visual progress. On the other hand, decluttering in fast times, when there is limited time available, calls for a different approach. It is crucial to prioritize speed and make quick decisions without overthinking. Focus on immediately removing trash, placing easy items in their established homes, and identifying dead donations. The goal is to make real progress and only progress, even if time is limited. Both slow times and fast times offer benefits, so it is essential to follow the decluttering process in order to achieve the desired results.
