Experience True Freedom from Clutter
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...

Well you're definitely not alone!

Eekk... I'm stuck on the decluttering in a few areas around my home - join me as I share what they are and the dilemmas I'm facing. You'll find out why I'm stuck on Tupperware, clothes, camping gear and picnic supplies!
I'm stuck because I might use in the future, because I need to sell something, because it's out of sight out of mind... all things our clients tell us EVERY DAY! It's important to be honest that my decluttering journey isn't linear and straight forward - nobody's is!
So if you have advice for me after listening to the episode then jump into the Facebook community and let me know... I'm here for it 🙂

Whenever you declutter, you are internally weighing up the balance between comfort and inconvenience. Every item has both comfort and inconvenience to consider when you think about whether to keep or go. If you keep it, you have the comfort of having it available in the future, but the inconvenience of having to store, maintain and have the item take up the space.
There are so many things to think about that this has become a 2 part series!
Living a life free from clutter brings a level of comfort because the positive impacts are you have a more welcoming home, you save money and you save time too. But it does come at the cost of inconvenience of not having instant gratification of having something the minute you desire it. At every step, you have a choice to make, and you need to consider the cost and responsibility of each decision.

If you get stuck on the idea of if something sparks joy or not... here is a new test you can use to decide if you want to declutter something or keep it. It's the poop test. Ask this question when trying to decide if something should be decluttered or kept... "if it was covered in poop, would you clean it off or throw the item away?"
If you picked up your running shoes and they were covered in poop, would you clean them, scrape off the poo, take the laces out, soak the shoes and then wash and dry them. Would you do that? Or would you just throw them in the rubbish?
The fundamental idea is that if you create a framework for decision making, it will make it easier for you to make decisions. And the framework needs to fit your values.
If you're someone who wants to be surrounded by items that bring you incredible joy, use the spark joy framework
If you're more of a practical person, use the need it, use it, love it framework
If you're someone who needs to visualise poo on an item to decide if it's worth cleaning to keep... them use that framework!!
