Deep dives

Overcoming Priority Paralysis

Priority paralysis can lead to feeling overwhelmed when faced with messy spaces, making it difficult to get started on cleaning. Instead of getting stuck in indecision, it is essential to acknowledge that the paralysis stems from attempts to create a prioritized list in one’s mind. By accepting that there is no single 'correct' way to tackle a cleaning task, individuals can free themselves from the pressure of efficiency imposed by conventional thinking. The key lies in recognizing that movement and action, rather than perfect planning, should be the focus to effectively address the mess.
