Welcome to A Slab Comes Clean the podcast. I am Dana K. White. I share my personal deslobification 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 483, and I think I'm going to call it Permission to Learn.

So I did try to look up to see if I've done another podcast called Permission to Learn, which,

I mean, we're at podcast number 483, and I talk about

decluttering week after week after week. And so I was pretty sure that I'd already done one

on this because it's a topic I do talk about, but I didn't find it. Maybe I did. Whatever,

I'm just going to talk about it some more because we can all use that. I hear from

so many of many of you who assure me that it is helpful to you to hear the same concepts talked about

over and over from different angles and different situations and sometimes the same same angles and

the same situations. Because you're actively doing this thing and it keeps it top of mind and helps.

Sometimes it's, I mean, I had a video that came out a couple weeks ago where I talk about doing the thing now,

like as part of the decluttering process, you know, instead of setting

something aside like, oh, I need to order these special things to be able to complete this

project. So I'm going to set it aside until later when I'm not decluttering, I'm ordering.

But instead to say, oh, if I do this now, if I go ahead and order this item now, then I can

continue with the process and I don't have to set it aside for a future time.

And it's actually part of the decluttering process.

Anyway, the reason I bring that up is somebody said, I have listened to all the things and

it finally sunk in when you said this way about this

specific situation that doing the thing now is part of taking it there now. So I feel like

I've already gotten on a tangent and we are maybe a minute in, I don't know, maybe two,

two minutes and 18 seconds and I've already had a tangent.
