A random chat with a neighbor made me rethink my whole decluttering kick

They said they just keep their junk in labeled bins and call it 'organized chaos' ... now I wonder if I wasted 3 months trying to be a minimalist. Has anyone else found a middle ground that actually works for them?

@jessica921 hit it on the head. The whole "organized chaos" thing works way better for me than trying to throw half my stuff out. Just gotta be real with yourself about what you'll actually use.

Yeah, that makes total sense. I tried the whole "get rid of everything you don't use daily" thing and it just stressed me out more than it helped. @jessica921 is right that being honest with yourself about what you actually need is way more practical than forcing some strict system.

Oh man, I feel you. I gave up on strict minimalism too.
