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!!

Sometimes wonder if while you slept someone picked up your house and shook it like a snow globe leaving unidentified clutter everyone?

Today we begin a 3 week series called "What's Your Problem?" and provide you with 3 core clutter problems and provide you the solution for each also!

Week one is all about a QUANTITY problem... solved by DECLUTTERING

A quantity problem is almost always the base of a clutter problem, even if you discover other problems along the way, quantity is usually the first domino to knock over to reach freedom from clutter.

You just have too much stuff.

Quantity isn't a fixed metric... it's not like there is a magic number of dinner plates and after that number you have a quantity issue. Your quantity is relative to the size of your family, the capacity of your storage and the reality of you circumstances.

Explore today how to solve a quantity problem through decluttering in your home.

Comparison is the thief of joy... I like to remind myself that just because someone has what I want, doesn't mean they're happy. And it's unlikely that becoming like someone else is going to make me happy either.

Comparison traps you in the future and you miss out on all the joy of today

Today in the podcast explore what is beneath comparison and you may even find some tips to align your desires to your values rather than what someone else has ☺️

Have you ever muttered the words, "I just need some breathing space", or when you've entered a cluttered room, "I can't even breathe in here", or when you're busy doing all the things, "I can't catch my breath"?

And equally, when you walk into a spacious and decluttered space, "I can finally breathe again".

Explore how being intentional and seeking to create space without guilt can change how you feel in your home. Whether it's space to relax on the weekend or space to put the clean dishes away, space to breathe is crucial.

This week I've made some organisational changes in our house and they've shifted the feeling and flow of the spaces I've made changes in. We moved some furniture around, updated our kitchen plastics and reassessed the storage in the boys wardrobes.

Do you need to reassess and change an area of storage in your home? Start small and you may find that the flow on effect impacts many areas in a positive way!

Do you have a cardboard box problem? Do you see POTENTIAL in every 'good' box and keep it 'just in case you need it?' Today we're learning to break free from this source of clutter!

Whether it's delivery boxes, mailing boxes, gift boxes, product boxes... boxes seem to multiply in every home our team visit. Some boxes just seem 'too good' to throw away and instead they clutter up our homes and wardrobes and garages and spare rooms.

It's time to release our hold on cardboard boxes, if you don't have an immediate use for the box, let it go! I also chat through some alternative options for using boxes as well as creative ways to enjoy them before letting them go.
