The Art of Decluttering

Sometimes wonder if while you slept someone picked up your house and shook it like a snow globe leaving unidentified clutter everyone?

Today we begin a 3 week series called "What's Your Problem?" and provide you with 3 core clutter problems and provide you the solution for each also!

Week one is all about a QUANTITY problem... solved by DECLUTTERING

A quantity problem is almost always the base of a clutter problem, even if you discover other problems along the way, quantity is usually the first domino to knock over to reach freedom from clutter.

You just have too much stuff.

Quantity isn't a fixed metric... it's not like there is a magic number of dinner plates and after that number you have a quantity issue. Your quantity is relative to the size of your family, the capacity of your storage and the reality of you circumstances.

Explore today how to solve a quantity problem through decluttering in your home.

Do you have a cardboard box problem? Do you see POTENTIAL in every 'good' box and keep it 'just in case you need it?' Today we're learning to break free from this source of clutter!

Whether it's delivery boxes, mailing boxes, gift boxes, product boxes... boxes seem to multiply in every home our team visit. Some boxes just seem 'too good' to throw away and instead they clutter up our homes and wardrobes and garages and spare rooms.

It's time to release our hold on cardboard boxes, if you don't have an immediate use for the box, let it go! I also chat through some alternative options for using boxes as well as creative ways to enjoy them before letting them go.

There is a special overwhelm that is caused by open loops in your mind. Open loops are things that are mid-undertaking, halfway done, nearly finished, almost there, just need this final thing etc.

If you think of every task as having a start, middle and end - and it's not until you actually finish the task that you can close the loop.

One of the HUGE barriers to organisation with our clients are open loops. Often these loops are things like "I want to sell that item rather than donate it" and so the item sits for literally months and months because the loop is open but the overwhelm of the steps required to close it are too hard.

Learn today what an open loop is, why they're sabotaging your success and importantly how to close them (oh and the incredible benefits of closing your loops).
