Well, hey there, welcome back to another episode of The Maximized Minimalist. I'm your host,

Katie Wells, and I've got a question. So what do you think? Is it enough to just declutter if we're

going to keep bringing stuff back inside our home? I believe if we don't learn from it, we're going to

keep making the same mistakes. Those mistakes could be impulse purchases, you know, just bad

purchase choices in general that ultimately are going to keep feeding the beast that is clutter

and it's going to keep having you to, you know, really be on top and declutter much more often than

is necessary at the end of the day. And again, why feed the clutter beast? Why not learn from that

clutter? So we can save money, avoid save money, avoid having to manage all of this

stuff and just have more peaceful life. So I think you know my answer to this question. My answer to

this question is heck no. I think we owe it to ourselves to learn from our clutter. And, you know,

if you want to get out of that same cycle of purchasing a thing, which never

seems like clutter, right, when you purchase something, but maybe that thing gets used for a few

weeks, then it gets tossed in a drawer and forgotten about, turns into clutter.

Then that thing stresses you out and drains your energy.

Thing steals your time.

This thing you maybe pick up and question hanging onto, but decide,

I'll hang on to said thing for a few more weeks or months or years.
