Replace vs Accumulate

12/31/23 • 14 min

Do you feel like your home has accumulated WAY TOO MUCH over the last few weeks?

This week on the podcast, explore the difference between replacing and accumulating.

When something new comes into your home, is it to replace an existing item, or is as an accumulation? There will be occasion for both, but if you accumulate more than you replace you will inevitably end up overwhelmed by clutter.

Do new items you accumulate add value? Make life easier? Or bring you joy? If none of these, why is it coming into your home?

Consider if items are entering your home by choice, obligation or mindlessly.

Keeping Company

🎄Merry Christmas!!🎄

Today whether you're running from one event to the next or you're having a quiet day at home alone, I want to take a moment to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Today I've dropped a quick episode called Keeping Company. Many people have reached out over the years to say that podcasts are sometimes the only human interaction they have on Christmas day and so I wanted to say I see you and I'm here to keep you company today.

Others of you will be escaping the chaos for a walk/ blocking out the sound of children in a long car drive and to you, I hope I'm also able to keep you company.

And finally I talk briefly about how you can be good company on a day as big as today and how you can care for yourself and your loved ones.

Memories

Memories. Does the Maroon 5 song come to mind?

Memories play a more significant role in decluttering and organising than we often recognise.

Creating Memories: ultimately the reason and motivation behind decluttering and organising is to create life memories. Whether it's the memory of a peaceful and relaxed home or space to leave the house and create memories of travel, adventure, creativity and experiences, it's important to live a life of treasured memories.

Storing Memories: how you store your memories (aside from in your mind!) will help you keep both a home that is organised and not overrun with items relating to the memories of your life. It's also important to curate what you keep and the incentive for the curation is so that you can tell stories and recall memories.

Recalling Memories: there is no point storing your memories in tubs, hidden away forever forgotten, never remembered and shared. Instead being intentional about how you pick and choose what to display, what to use to recall memories and creating tools for storytelling and long term generational memory.
