The video has gone viral and has already received over half a million views. Kayleen’s whole goal is to teach us how to make “quick and confident decisions” when it comes time to get rid of clutter. The example that she uses in the video is one that we are all surely going to be able to relate to. She grabs a pile of jeans and gets right down to business.

“All I want you to do, is you’re gonna make a decision on each pair,” Kelly says. “It’s either a yes, you keep it, or no, it goes. But if you hesitate [for more than three seconds], it’s an automatic keep.” For the pile of jeans, she advises that we make a pile for the “no” and a pile for the “yes.”

“If you feel like you have to try them on before you decide, just put it in your ‘keep’ pile and we’ll circle back around,” she explains. Kayleen also elaborated on the rule when she spoke to the New York Post. “That is the key to making definitive decisions that you won’t regret,” she writes. “You have to see all of one category that you have in order to assess and know what you have and how much you want.”

All of this makes perfect sense to us and we are definitely going to be utilizing this rule in our household.
