Two areas of every home that make a huge impact on if you're feeling like a boss and on top of things, or if you feel like you're drowning are LAUNDRY and DISHES.The reason they're probably your nemesis (and mine!) is because they are never-ending, multi step, impacted by clutter and have many steps and opportunities for procrastination. TIP #1 - HAVE LESSLess clothes, less towels, less sheets, less dishes, less containers, less cutlery, less utensils, less pans. When you have less, it's easier to put things away and stay on top of these nemesis chores.TIP #2 - DO THE NEXT STEP AS SOON AS POSSIBLEOnce you have less, it's so much easier to do the next step as soon as possible. Fill the dishwasher, put away the dry washing, hang out the wet washing. You don't have to wait until you have an hour to tackle these chores, instead use 5 minute moments you have to just do the next step rather than having to wait until you have a big chunk of time to focus for a long time. 5 minute moments can make a huge impact on your ability to stay on top of these nemesis chores.Listen NextBedding20 Outfit WardrobeMore... or Less?Might As WellJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Cards
Greeting cards, birthday cards, retirement cards, birth cards, christening cards, sympathy cards... why do you keep them? Or more truthfully... why do you keep so many of them?Cards can be really special and I'm not suggesting that you keep no cards at all, but based on what you as listeners and my clients tell me, keeping them all is overwhelming and creating unnecessary clutter.In the podcast today I address a specific listener dilemma (thanks Yvonne from Quebec, Canada) who is struggling with knowing what to do with her growing card collection.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Up High, Down Low
I've been doing some decluttering in my own house due to us doing a bedroom renovation and it really made me realise how much we tend to ignore our up high and down low storage spaces in our homes. I hadn't FULLY been through what was up the top of my wardrobe for about 2 years, and although under my bed had been gone through weeks earlier, it did make me think that we often ignore the up high or down low spaces in our home.Up High places you might like to declutter include attics, loft, top of the wardrobe, pantry or high garage storage. Sometimes it's just too hard to go through them as you need a ladder and a second person to help you. So set aside some time to pull it all down and ask yourself "When did I last need this" and "Do I have a plan to use this in the future" and declutter to your hearts content.Low Down places you might like to declutter are places like basements, under beds, very bottom and hard to reach kitchen cupboards. Pull everything out and ask the same questions before creating a storage system that works for the space and putting essential items back.Listen NextStocktakeTime Will TellJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Bin Night
Boy I love BIN NIGHT! It's a weekly (or regular at least) opportunity to declutter rubbish from around the house. However your rubbish is removed, whether it's a communal apartment bins, curbside pickup or tip drop off, what a gift it is!! I encourage you to take full advantage of your rubbish removal - walk around your house with a rubbish bag and collect as much rubbish as you can. Aim to full the rubbish bins before each pick up - whatever you can remove from your house is automatic decluttering.And in this episode I explore the idea of having rubbish bins located in many places throughout your house - in your home office, in the bathroom and even in the lounge room if you need. If there are places where rubbish tends to accumulate in your home, pop a rubbish bin in that space and reduce the clutter of displaced rubbish.Listen NextRecycling Holding ZoneJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.
