Hot take: Trying to speed through decluttering just makes a bigger mess

I see so many people jumping into minimalism like it's a race. Last year, I decided to clear out my attic in one weekend, which was a big mistake. I ended up with piles everywhere, and it took me months to sort through it all. I learned that if you don't give yourself time to think about what you really need, you'll just rebuy stuff later. Now, I do one box a week, and it's way less stressful. Rushing this process defeats the whole idea of living simply. Honestly, if you're not willing to be patient, maybe minimalism isn't for you. Lol, but that's just my two cents.

Speed through decluttering? Heard that just makes more mess later.

The 'more mess later' part is often overstated.
