House Burping

The Art of Decluttering ·

2026/02/22

Have you ever walked into your home and felt the air was a little… stale? Maybe a bit heavy, dusty, or holding onto yesterday’s dinner? You might not realise it, but your house needs to “burp.”House burping simply means opening doors and windows to create cross-flow ventilation so fresh air can move through your home. Not just a cracked window — real airflow. Even ten minutes a day can make a noticeable difference.When you live in a home (with humans, pets, cooking, showers and heaters running),

Too Much Part 2

The Art of Decluttering ·

2026/02/15

You’re invited to keep going with a honest look at the categories most homes definitely have too much of — even if they don’t look like clutter at first glance. This is about being realistic, not perfect, and questioning what’s taking up space in your home and your head.You’re encouraged to approach each category with simple questions: Do you use it? Does it fit your life now? Would you miss it if it were gone?Rethink shoes that hurt your feet, don’t fit, or are worn beyond repair — especially if

Too Much Pt 1

The Art of Decluttering ·

2026/02/08

You know that feeling of wanting to declutter but not knowing where to start — or feeling too tired to tackle everything at once? You’re invited to take a gentler, more realistic approach by focusing on categories that often overflow in most homes.Some categories will earn you a gold star — no excess there. Others might feel uncomfortably accurate. That’s okay. You don’t need to fix everything. You just need one place to begin.Go through common problem categories seen again and again in real homes:

Where To Begin?

The Art of Decluttering ·

2026/02/01

You want to declutter, but you’re standing in the middle of your home thinking, Where on earth do I begin? You’re not alone. Even when it’s obvious a space needs attention, knowing where to start can feel surprisingly overwhelming.Instead of searching for the perfect starting point, focus on momentum. Decluttering doesn’t begin with emptying an entire room, buying containers, or consuming endless inspiration. It begins with one small, doable action.Explore three simple ways to start without

Independence

The Art of Decluttering ·

2026/01/25

When you hear the word support, it’s easy to picture reliance — someone stepping in and doing things for you. But in decluttering, good support does the opposite. It builds independence.You’re invited to rethink what independence actually means: it’s not about doing everything alone. It’s about knowing how to decide, knowing where things belong, and knowing how to reset a space when life inevitably gets messy again. Decluttering isn’t a personality trait or something you’re born with — it’s a set of

Neat vs Tidy

The Art of Decluttering ·

2026/01/18

In this episode you’re invited to rethink what it really means to have an organised home by exploring the difference between being neat and being tidy. While neatness is about how your home looks on the surface, tidiness is about how it works underneath.You can have a home that looks neat but still feels stressful if things don’t have a clear place to belong. When everything has a designated home, it becomes easier to reset your space without relying on quick fixes or constant effort. Tidiness

Fresh Start

Fresh Start: What Are You Ready to Let Go of in 2026?A fresh start isn’t about pressure, resolutions, or reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about intention. As a new year begins, this episode invites you to pause and reflect on what you’re ready to release — not just from your home, but from your life.Decluttering is often framed as getting rid of things, but at its heart, it’s about recognising changing seasons. The person you were five or ten years ago may not be who you are now, and your home

Best Of: What's Your Problem?... Maintenance

The Art of Decluttering ·

2025/12/28

This week we’re diving into Week Three of our “What’s Your Problem?” series — and I can’t tell you how important this one is. If you’ve worked through your quantity issues (too much stuff) and your systems issues (no real organisation), then your next hurdle isn’t about things or storage at all. It’s about you. It’s about habits.Once the clutter is gone and the systems are in place, the problem shifts from your stuff… to your behaviour. And that’s good news, because habits are changeable with the

Best Of: What's Your Problem?... Systems

The Art of Decluttering ·

2025/12/21

This week we’re diving into one of my favourite topics: systems.If quantity is the outer layer of the onion, systems are the next layer in. Maybe you’ve decluttered and reduced your possessions, but something still isn’t working. You look around and think, I’ve kept the right things… so why does my home still feel hard?That’s a classic systems problem.A systems problem shows up when items don’t have clear homes, when tidying feels complicated, or when things you genuinely need end up in piles on

Best Of: What's Your Problem?...Quantity

The Art of Decluttering ·

2025/12/14

If you’ve ever looked around your home and felt that something just isn’t working, you’re not alone. So many people tell me they’re frustrated with their space, but they can’t quite put their finger on why. And when you don’t know what the real problem is, it’s almost impossible to find a solution that actually sticks.That’s exactly why I’ve created a simple, three-part framework I call What’s Your Problem? It’s designed to help you diagnose what’s going on beneath the surface so you can finally

Best Of: Sisters and Cousins

Sisters and Cousins: A Simple Way to Know Where Everything BelongsOne of the biggest challenges in organising isn’t the sorting or the tidying — it’s that moment when you’re holding something in your hand thinking, “But where should this actually live?”If you’ve ever felt that, you’re not alone. And I want to share a little framework I use that might make things instantly clearer for you: I call it Sisters and Cousins.Sisters: Same-Same ItemsWhen I say “sisters,” I’m talking about items that are

Object Classification

The Art of Decluttering ·

2025/11/09

Have you ever wondered how two people can look at the exact same object and see something completely different? In this episode, we’re exploring object classification — the unconscious way our brains decide what something is and what should happen to it, basically... why we see the same things so differently.Take, for example, a glass left on the kitchen bench. Is it a dirty cup that needs to go in the dishwasher, or a glass someone left there to remind them to stay hydrated? The way we classify

Reducing Volume

When you look around a space and feel like the clutter is EVERYWHERE reducing the volume is a great hack to reduce overwhelm so you can tackle your clutter in an intentional and ordered manner.Use like with like boxes, or intentional doom boxes to reduce the volume (amount of space the clutter takes up or is spread over).

Overstimulation

Overstimulation.Can you relate to your home being overstimulating?Is clutter and disorganisation the main cause of this for you?Sometimes it's because you have too much stuff... but often it's also due to lack of organisation.Looking into a toy space where the toys are strewn all over the floor is more overstimulating than a toy space with containers/ storage and order.If you open the pantry and can't easily find ingredients because it's disorganised, you're less likely to cook dinner and more

Storage Units

The Art of Decluttering ·

2025/10/05

One in 10 Australians use a storage unit - and these figures are pretty consistent for our US listeners. Storage units can fill a gap, meet a need, and save you when you're in a bind... but left unattended their cost can far outweigh the benefit.Before you put things into storage, ask yourself some questions- Does that value of this item justify spending thousands of dollars per year to store it?- How will I feel about this item in 2-3 years when I've invested so much more money to keep it?- Would I
