Key Takeaways from Barbara Hemphill:

“One of the biggest challenges that people face in the world today is being overwhelmed. And the reason we’re overwhelmed is because of clutter.“

“Why do we postpone the decisions? It’s because of emotion. And that emotion is usually fear.”

“Something is organized if you can answer yes to these four questions. Question number one, ‘Is does it work?’, Question number two, ‘Do you like it?’, Question number three, ‘Does it work for the other people it impacts?’, and Question number four is,’ Can you recover quickly?’.”
