April 29, 2022 #39 Fear of making mistakes and its impact on hoarding
"You don't dare ever throw anything out or sort anything out or give anything away in case it turns out to be a mistake. That fear takes over everything in a way that is just not proportionate to the consequences."

April 22, 2022 #38 Procrastination and hoarding, with Dr Jan Eppingstall
"This is really important for everyone, and I bang on about it all the time with my kids. And my clients. If you don't write the task down in a list, those tasks lurk at the edge of the four or so slots of your working memory - I'm sounding very teacherish now - so this is valuable mental real estate. And it impacts your ability to do other focused work. So you always have these random to dos floating around as you're attempting to pay attention to your project that you're currently working on. If it's on a list, it's out of working memory."

April 15, 2022 #37 What to do with clothes that don’t fit when dehoarding your home
"You put your stuff in bags, you drop it off with a warm fuzzy feeling inside, because they are going to earn some money because of you. So your excess clothes are going to help fund cancer research or arthritis research, or a children's hospice. And you can feel great about that. And you can also feel reassured that those clothes are going to someone else who really wants them. And so it's not wasteful."

April 08, 2022 #36 Sometimes it’s ok to be wasteful. Sometimes it even helps
"This paradox of such high standards leading to such low standards is a real one. And it's something we each need to examine for ourselves and come to our own conclusions."

March 25, 2022 #34 On giving your stuff to people who don’t want it
"If you give it to your brother, and he puts it in the bin, then it's in the bin. If you give it to an animal shelter and they put it in the bin, then it's in the bin. If you give it to Oxfam, and they put it in the bin, then it's in the bin. So the key is to put it in the bin yourself and not force other people to be part of this dysfunctional chain. Because you're creating work and costing people money."

And creating habits is something that I think about a lot. And I've tried lots of things, and some of them have worked, and a lot haven't."
