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.
