Last week I attended the funeral of a client who had become a friend. I had the privilege of visiting with her in palliative care in her final days and during our short time together she shared some reflections on her relationship with her 'stuff'.
After a lifetime of struggle with severe clutter, what she shared with me was so insightful and I believe will be helpful for many others.

It's time to stop aiming for perfection and embrace IMPERFECTION when you're thinking about organising/ decluttering/ setting standards/ creating systems for you and your family.
The imperfection you EXPECT is the imperfection you ACCEPT.
Are there areas in your home where you can LOWER the standard so it's achievable and maintainable?

Imperfection

Have you ever stopped to think about what agenda your items might have?
If your items talked... how would your item finish this sentence You need to... Wear me Fill me Play with me Read me Cook me Create with me Organise me Use me Clean me Maintain me Sell me Value me
Assess if you have the same agenda as your possessions (do you really want to read the book/ wear the jeans/ use the juicer/ ride the skateboard/ clean the outdoor furniture). Allow yourself to be challenged, think differently about your stuff.

You Need To

"Enough is enough" "That's enough" "Leave good enough alone" "Close enough is good enough"
It's amazing how one simple word can relate so deeply to our relationship with clutter and our satisfaction with our stuff and life in general.
This week we talk about how some enough statements can really make you take stock of where you are at and where your satisfaction lies.
You Are Enough - Stuff won't make you enough. More stuff, less stuff... you are enough regardless of your things.
You've Done Enough - Do what you can with what you have. Every step forward is a step forward (I know... profound!)
What Is Enough - What do you need to be happy? How many of something do you need to have enough?
I've Had Enough - When you reach peak frustration with clutter it's a good thing as it drives you to make changes
When Is Enough Enough - How do you know when you've done enough decluttering? How do you know when to stop? At what point do you reach the equilibrium of satisfaction and enough

5 Home Truths

How can you keep yourself safe while decluttering? Even in your own home, decluttering can stir up dust or mould particulates and aggravate asthma. Naturally when you're moving items that have been in place for a long time, you'll disrupt dust!
Learn from Amy's experience of being bitten by a spider and ending up in hospital, to keep yourself physically safe while decluttering. Give consideration to trip hazards, falls risk, insects and pests and do what you can to keep yourself physically safe.
