Decluttering can transform a home, but knowing when to halt the process is crucial. Signs you may be overdoing it include repurchasing discarded items and letting go of items that bring you joy. Professional organizers Dana Reder and Di Ter Avest emphasize that the objective of decluttering should be clarity and purpose, rather than guilt-driven minimalism. In avoiding excessive decluttering, one can maintain a comfortable and joyful living environment.
"The intention behind decluttering is to let go of things you no longer need. But you lose both time and money in the long run if you find yourself decluttering things you need to repurchase."
"In an absence of finding more items to declutter, I donated items I cared about because I felt like I 'should' have owned less, even though I liked and enjoyed all I owned."
