SE4: EP 17 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 are not about the stuff, but about the emotions connected to the stuff.
