Get Organised With DeCluttr Me

Today we are talking about storage boxes and other storage material! I love storage boxes. I have many types in my house and repertoire ready to use with my clients when we are organising their home. Put a little label on top and you are organised for life, or until you move home (or don't maintain the system, but that's a different blog). There is a time and place to use storage boxes. A space may look amazing in a photo with many jars and boxes, but if it is not functional for your day to day life, then there is no point having so many of them. I always suggest to clients and followers that they should start with the decluttering and organising of the space, before buying the material. I carry material with me to sessions, but they won't come out we have decluttered first. In this new podcast we will talk about: * When to buy storage boxes and materials. * Which material is suitable for which area. * The process before buying and using a storage box. * Different uses for material that you may have in your house.

We hear about many concepts and ideas in the decluttering and organising world. Some are a bit far fetched, some are just packaged into a social media friendly/viral way, and others are similar concepts to what us organisers use already, but are called something different. Chirag recently mentioned a concept called Micro Actions, which was coined by Tammy Strobel in her book You Can Buy Happiness (and it's Cheap): How One Woman Radically Simplified Her Life and How You Can Too. I have called this concept mini- decluttering for many years - same concepts, but different terms! Whatever its name, it is a great way to help people to start decluttering without feeling overwhelmed. What is mini-decluttering or micro-actions, you may be asking? Well click play and let us explain what we mean by mini-decluttering and how you can start doing it right now (you only need five minutes!)

Toys seem to be a huge clutter problem in households nowadays. There are so many toys out there to buy and give as presents, and there never seems to be enough time to declutter some of the old ones from the house. Seeing these toys pile up in the lounge, playroom and bedroom has made a lot of my clients and followers feel anxious and overwhelmed. To help remove this clutter cloud hanging over their heads, I thought now would be a good time to discuss the best way to declutter and organise toys before the school holidays. * When is the best time to declutter the toys; * How to start the declutter process; * Separating the toys to leave your house; * Dealing with the tears of losing the toys; * Organising the toys that are left; * Showing your children and household how to maintain the systems.

It's that time of the year when parents stress about their kids, and the kids sit sullenly at their desks trying to remember formulas (that you will most likely never use once you're an adult) and important chapters from a Charles Dickens novel. Or maybe that was how I remember the exam period! It's a tough period and even tougher if you are not organised and prepared to study and then take your exam. To help you get prepared, Chirag and I discuss our various methods to get ready to study and take your exam. In this new podcast we discuss: 1. How to declutter and organise your desk; 2. Set a study timetable; 3. Practicing exams; 4. Keeping healthy during this period; 5. Planning for Exam Day; To listen to my podcast, produced by Amaeya Creative, click on the play.

Today we decided to not focus on giving tips, but to discuss the conversation clients have or need to have with family and friends about the clutter in their lives and also about engaging a professional organiser to help them out. Often clients know they want to declutter and organise, but telling their their family seems to be a massive hurdle; as they are embarrassed to admit they need help for something that many believe they should be able to do themselves or due to the expense of hiring an organiser In this podcast, I discuss with Chirag the various situations which have arisen due to the client not talking to their family before engaging me to help them. We also discuss how to have the conversation and to get all members of your family on board with the decluttering and organising process.

I often have friends and clients show me with glee the icon on their email box with the number of unread emails. It's like a badge of honour having thousands of unopened emails. But for some, it becomes overwhelming. As the emails pile up, the less desire they have to open their inbox and check their emails. This can result in them missing important correspondence. To help our listeners who are feeling overwhelmed with their inbox, I wanted to give some tips on how to tackle their emails in a systematic, easy way. In this new podcast we discuss: * Categorising emails that come into your inbox; * Deleting emails in bulk; * How to unsubscribe emails easily; * Dealing with audited correspondence; * How to organise your emails moving forward.
