Thank you for watching! Please leave me a comment and share any tips to avoid decision fatigue. Also you can read my Blog post on the subject : shannontorrens.com/decision-fatigue-when-decluttering-5-tips-that-help/

Love these tips. I went from a Shopaholic to a more minimalist.... I'm not a total minimalist, I'm just way more practical now. I love owning less, I love seeing NO CLUTTER. We have gone room by room SEVERAL times in the last 2 years and have downsized by 70 percent or more. I am so happy.

To help with decision fatigue I do a few different things. One is having clear goals ahead of time, and containers as space limitations. If I'm really stuck I'll ask myself a few questions, like, "Would I buy this again?" "Would I even remember I have it?" "What would I tell a friend facing the same decision."

I find routines and simplification to lessen the number of decisions per day made a huge difference for me. I also like to make a few morning decisions the previous evening when I'm already tired so I can start my day off slower.

Sometimes when decluttering I find it helpful to imagine you are explaining to another person why I would keep something. If I end up saying things like because I might..., because I could, maybe I will... then I know I should get rid of it. I want to have a specific reason and purpose for keeping it. Sometime it’s easy to justify things to yourself but when I imagine saying it to someone else I find it helpful when making decisions🙂

Great tips! I've made the mistake of keeping a bag of items I wanted to declutter in my room and I ended up going through the bag again changing my mind on a few items. Really important to get those items out of sight to avoid that!

I find it overwhelming to think of decluttering as a one-time thing that I have to spend lots of time on. Instead, when I find myself thinking "I could get rid of that', I literally stop and put that thing in the donation box right then. It's more like "clean as you go", than spending hours on a huge mess. It adds up over time.

I wish you've had this channel when I was in the decluttering process so many great tips! 😊💛🌼💕

I experienced that quite a few times when decluttering. Each time I didn't stop, I later regretted it. I either kept to much or parted with stuff I that we really did need.

Slow but sure I’m decluttering every room and closest. Morning is best for me too. I’m getting ready to move out of state, so I need to make sure I only take what I really want to keep.

Great video Shannon! Your tips are so good! I agree that trying to tackle too much at once can be the wrong approach. I like Joshua Becker's method of starting with an area that is relatively easy to declutter first. Then you will begin to feel successful and will have the momentum to move to the next area. Room by room is great, as long as you take your time! 🤗💛

Yes! This is great advice! It's not a race 😉

Thank you for sharing your very useful tips. Your Tip No.1 I follow for sure. I get so overwhelmed even thinking about tearing apart the whole house at once. My method is to keep up my regular daily clean chore schedule; and tackle one room at a time for decluttering until its done; even if more than one day. I also try and remove the items asap.

Thank you for this great tips Shannon, decision fatigue is really a big sabotage in the decluttering process. Excellent video😊🌼💛😃xx

Decision Fatigue sucks, the struggle is real! Thank you for the tips!

When I clean out my closet, I put the things in a bag and then I let the bag sit in my office. I know what's in there and I give myself the chance to "save" anything in it for about a week. Sometimes I give away things that really look good hanging in my closet, but when I put them on, they don't look too good, so I might reconsider them. I've taken blouses from the bag and tried them on after a week or so, and then reconfirm giving them away. I've even put one back in my closet, then removed it again.

Thank you for these tips. I tend to get overwhelmed and get rid of everything, I appreciate the advice to break it down in smaller sections. That I can handle.

Thanks for sharing these tips. I actually suffer from this every now and again! Not too much. Thanks for sharing!👍🏾💐

Thank you for the tips, decluttering can be difficult.

Great advice! I always love all of your videos and look forward to new ones!
