Welcome to a slob comes clean the podcast. I am Dana K White. I share my personal

deslavification process as I figure out ways to keep my own home under

control. I share the truth about cleaning and organizing strategies that actually work in real life

for real people people who don't love cleaning and organizing. Thanks for joining me today.

This is podcast number 392 and I am going to talk about applying the decluttering process to general decision

making so we are going to talk about that. to general decision-making.

So we are going to talk about that. So there are lots of applications. I hear from people on a regular basis who will say I have measured or maybe not even mastered but used the

decluttering process successfully I've used it so well in my home on my clutter that now I find myself applying it in other

areas of my life and so I had this question about decision making in general and how the process might apply.

So I thought, well, that's a fun thing to talk about.

So I decided to talk about that.

Here was how the question went. Since your question works

so well for decluttering, if I needed this item where would I look for it first? I

wonder if in your own life you've come up with questions that help you make

non-decluttering decisions more easily.

I wonder if your system for decluttering could be adapted to help make decisions in general.

I know you're not a psychologist, yes, thank you for knowing that, but wondered if you have any tips to make general decision making easier or what you find helpful for yourself.

The typical advice weighing pros and cons lead to open-ended questions. Exactly. We avoid that in this whole decluttering process thing, don't we?

And never-ending spiral of possibilities that it would be great if there were some questions

one could ask that would bring everything to reality like

your if I needed this item where would I look for it first as with decluttering thank you

okay so I don't know about questions specifically, but we are going to talk about the same concepts that we use in decluttering and how they can be applied and helpful in general decision making.
