When I ask clients if they want to keep or donate items, a common response is “I don’t know.” That phrase extinguishes decision-making. Not only do decisions not get made (resulting in stagnation and clutter), they have told themselves they don’t have answers. If you relate, what if you followed up with another creative question? Over my 18 years in business, I’ve compiled a list of “Powerful Questions” to ask when considering keeping or donating.
TIP: As you catch yourself about to say “I don’t know”, try asking a different question and bask in the confidence that you DO know.
