Summary

In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle discusses the importance of taking immediate action in decluttering and organising your space. She shares cautionary tales from her clients who waited for the perfect moment to put items in their place, leading to unnecessary stress and clutter. Heather emphasises that 'done is better than perfect' and encourages listeners to enjoy their items now rather than waiting for ideal circumstances.


Takeaways

  • Waiting for perfection can lead to more stress.
  • Immediate action can alleviate clutter and anxiety.
  • Items can deteriorate while waiting to be used.
  • Enjoy your items now instead of waiting for the perfect moment.
  • Perfectionism can hinder progress in decluttering.
  • It's easier to adjust items later than to wait for perfection.
  • Decluttering should be a fluid process, not a rigid one.
  • Neurodivergent tendencies can influence our desire for perfection.
  • Small actions can lead to significant progress in organization.
  • Be kind to yourself during the decluttering journey.
