Okay, so at this point, we have removed trash, easy stuff and obvious donations, right? So we are down to things that at first glance, you're like, either yes, they go here or I have no idea on this item what to do, okay? So this is where my two decluttering questions come in.

When I started this, I had seen lists, beautifully written lists of all kinds of questions to ask yourself about items and whether you wanna donate it or keep it. I had too much stuff in my house to ask myself 10 questions about everything. You know, besides those questions generally let my brain spin out, right? Like, like, do I love it? Well, yeah, I love all this stuff.

Well, yeah, I love all this stuff.

You know, like, why would I have it in my house if I didn't love it? Right. You know, so... I couldn't ask myself those kinds of questions. So I came up with two questions. And if I can answer the first one, I don't even have to ask the second one. So the first question is, if I needed this item, where would I look for it first? Okay. It's really important that you ask exactly that question.

Where would I look for it first? It is an instinct question. Okay. OK, the word would is the key word. That means if I needed my headphones, where would I look for them first? It is literally the first drawer or cabinet that I would open today. even if I had no confidence they would be there. It is because something, it needs a home, right?

Like the whole place for everything and everything in its place that organized people say and think is so obvious. I was always like, what are y'all talking about? I don't have places for things like what? Like it just didn't make any sense in my brain. And so I had to come up with where would I look for it first? Because here's the thing.

The beauty of putting something in the place where you would look for it first is that when you look for it, you find it in the first place where you look for it. Isn't that the goal that you've had all along wanting to be organized?

What I used to do was think about where my grandma kept hers. Yeah. And think, okay, well, her house was always great. So I should put mine in the place. Yeah. But how many people say as a joke, or there's a Facebook meme or something that says, I got organized and now I can't find anything. Yes. Right? It's hard in the beginning because you don't trust yourself. Right?

And this also is part of that accepting how I actually function as opposed to how organized people function. And I wish I was like them. Fingernail clippers were the thing when I came up with this question. As I was like... Everybody else in the whole wide world surely would put their fingernail clippers in the bathroom drawer because that's where they're supposed to go, right?
