When good bedding gets out of control it's easy for wardrobes and cupboards to be taken over - join me today as we wrangle our bedding to better manage our households.

Today I am going to tackle our families bedding to declutter items we don't need anymore, have been keeping 'just in case' or that we've stopped using. You're invited to join me as I bring everything out to sort, declutter and then store safely in underbed storage so it's always fresh and easy to access.

It's common for most homes to be a bit stuck on where to store shoes - for two reasons...

1. our homes don't generally come with any designated shoe storage
2. we have WAY too many pairs of shoes!

I encourage you today to declutter shoes which are too small, you don't wear anymore, have holes, are uncomfortable etc. And then when you see how many shoes you have left, be really intentional about how you are going to store your shoes.

Maybe they belong at the bottom of your wardrobe on a shoe rack or in a catch all tub. Maybe you have storage at your front or back door. The key is to use the system you have, and if it's really not working, design something new. Most important is that you stick with the system once you have it in place. Build those habits of putting your shoes away and you'll never be late again because you can't find your shoes!

What would 2025 look like if it was a year of less for you?

What would it look like if your house was less cluttered?

Less mess to tidy up at the end of the day?

Less dishes to wash?

Less options to deliberate over?

Less landfill

Less obligations

Less shopping

It isn't about having less for the sake of less, it's about entering into the great exchange. When you choose less, you also choose:

1. more financial freedom
2. more spare time
3. more leisure time
4. more family time
5. more flexibility
6. more rest
7. more dreaming

Do you have one {or multiple} doom boxes around your home full of random clutter that you're not quite sure what to do with, where to put, or you're procrastinating making decisions about the items inside?

You may be surprised to find that in some situations, a doom box can actually assist your decluttering success rather than be an organising 'no-no'.

Need to have a place for decisions you need to check with someone else?

Quick tidy up needed so you can prepare for guests or the cleaner?

Pick up the toy room and throw it all in a box rather than pack up?

Garage full of doom boxes that you promised yourself you'd go through?

Does your doom box contain both rubbish and important documents as well as random drink bottles and hair ties?

Top tips today on how to go through your doom box and remove it... but also times when a doom box might serve your needs for a short time... with limits.

Kick procrastination to the curb with todays organisational hack... MIGHT AS WELL.

It doesn't need motivation. It doesn't need conviction. It doesn't need perfection. It's a lazy girl way of doing things that you'll be glad you did without having to think about them in advance.

For example:

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well take out the rubbish from the car

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well take out the jeans I don't wear

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well go through my bathers

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well empty the dishwasher

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm walking past I might as well hang up those clothes

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm think of it I might as well text my friend to let her know I have baby clothes for her

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm walking past might as well pick up the rubbish

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well put the blankets away

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm think of it, I might as well re-order the medications

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well wipe down the bath

🤷🏽‍♀️While I'm here I might as well restock the toilet paper

Ever been struck by the complete opulence of consumerism? Like smacked in the face by it to the point where it makes you feel sick in the stomach?

Consumerism is "a social and economic order that encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-increasing amounts". Consuming and purchasing things you don't need in compounding quantities... will not make you happy or satisfied or fulfilled. It will cause you stress as you have to earn the money to pay for these things, then store them in your already full home.

Today explore the traps of consumerism as well as some alternatives that don't require you to completely give up buying things but allow you to be intentional in how you consume with you being the boss, without consumerism dictating your choices.

What else could you do with the time and money you mindlessly spend on the ever-increasing acquisition of goods?

Harnessing the power of chaining can revolutionise the way you declutter in your home. Sometimes you need to embrace the magic of chaining, and other times you need to put some boundaries around it to harness the power

Do you find that you start one thing and then it leads to another and then another and so on and so forth? Do you end up half finishing many jobs? For you, harnessing chaining might be your key to success in decluttering.

Or do you find you're paralysed on where to start? If so, going with the flow of chaining can be powerful, allow one task to lead into the next can reduce overwhelm and procrastination!

One of the keys to harnessing chaining is to remember to close the loop (have a listen to that episode too!)

Does your kitchen have THAT drawer in it? The one where the potato masher makes it hard for the drawer to close and where you keep your melted egg flips just in case you might one day need it? Does it have broken tongs, unused egg cups and gadgets that you thought you'd use... but definitely don't?

Today I encourage you to join me in the kitchen to do some decluttering with me. I go through and declutter many items from that kitchen drawer in my house, and wonder what you might find in yours...

Does the thought of getting rid of old phones, laptops, hard drives, USB's or other tech send you into overwhelm? Are you worried about what photos or files you might lose? Are you hesitant to even get rid of old cords in case you then can't check through an old laptop or phone? Are you stuck in paralysis of how to declutter your old tech? Well you're definitely not alone!

If you're keeping tech that is outdated and you no longer use I can almost guarantee you that these questions challenges gone through your mind...

1. Where is the charger so I can turn it on?
2. Once I turn it on, what information or data do I actually need to transfer?
3. How will I transfer the data from this device to the cloud?
4. Where will I store the data once I transfer it? How will I know where to find it?
5. What do I do with the old tech once I'm done with it?
6. Should I keep it just in case one day I need 5 back up phones or 3 back up laptops which don't charge?
