How to get started with decluttering and organising your home and life

Menopause can be a time of life when we can feel overwhelmed by our stuff and mess. Or we simply want to do a massive clear out, after all this time life has been called The Great Clean.

But before your get started tune into this week's episode. My guest is Ingrid Jansen, a professional organiser, declutter expert, and owner of Organise Your House and The Declutter Hub. Past President of APDO – Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers in the UK with over 1200 decluttering jobs under her belt.

We talk about
Why did Ingrid and her business partner Lesley set up the Declutter Hub?
What are the key emotions involved in clutter?
Where do you start when your whole house is a mess?
Why is preparation so important when you're decluttering and what is a donation station?
Are there other benefits to decluttering?

My biggest takeouts were that
Preparation is key for a successful declutter
You need to start small and in easier areas
Decluttering and organising is not about the stuff, but about the emotions connected to the stuff.
