Summary
Joshua and Ryan talk about how to avoid recluttering our lives with new possessions, burdens, and obligations once we’ve excised our excess, and they answer the following questions:
What is “recluttering”? (00:00)
How do we address recluttering with loved ones and roommates who seem to see our clean spaces as places to dump their stuff that doesn’t have a home? (07:55)
How do we ensure the items we bring back into our homes after decluttering don’t become recluttering? (18:11)
How do I figure out my ‘why’ for recluttering? (32:15)
What’s problematic about having options? (35:02)
How do you define “consumerism”? (35:39)
