Once again, I credit Cindy Glovinsky for this great idea. In her book, One Thing At a Time, she brought up something I've always struggled with. She says that instead of using some of our pleasures as escapes from doing decluttering, we should use them as rewards AFTER we've accomplished a goal. If we escape into our favorite show, book, sport, computer, or phone chat, it can stretch out and take up much more time than we planned. However, if we set a reasonable goal, for instance, "I'm going to sort through this box before calling Morgan," we accomplish more of our decluttering.
