Clutter Is Just Postponed Decisions
Clutter accumulation is nothing more than the result of decisions that have NOT been made YET! Every item sitting out of place is a choice that’s been delayed.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
- “I’ll figure it out later.” You don’t know what to do with something, so you leave it “there” FOR NOW.
- “I’m too busy right now.” You set it aside on a table, thinking you’ll deal with it LATER.
- “I might need it someday.” It’s been five years, but you can’t let go, so it sits in the infamous “black hole”—a.k.a. the garage.
- “It was a gift—I feel guilty.” Aunt Bertha gave it to you, and even though you don’t like it, you keep it out of obligation. It ends up in a corner, closet, or garage—FOR NOW.

How Clutter and Postponed Decisions Take Over Your Space
Over time, these for now items fade into the background—until they don’t. Before you know it, your space becomes a catch-all, a clutter magnet filled with unmade decisions.
But here’s the good news—clutter didn’t magically appear! It’s simply the result of small, delayed choices. And that means you can regain control.
