Decluttering and organizing are separate processes, and one should prioritize decluttering to ensure they remain within their personal clutter threshold.

“You need to declutter organizing and decluttering are separate things they are not the same thing but I always thought they were the same thing I would look around at my mess and I would think I have got to get organized because that logically makes sense right”

“Much like eating, you don't want to be more than 80% full because it doesn't feel good. So if you organize the way we're, you know, told to kind of treat our bodies, it's the same thing. 80% full. Give yourself that 20% breathing room.”
