Unlike me, a lot of people do not enjoy decluttering! I personally love it, but each to their own, eh? If you don’t strangely find decluttering to be naturally fun, I’ve compiled a list of ways to make it a more enjoyable experience. 1. Stick on a podcast or your audiobook and get lost! Everytime I declutter I stick on a podcast or an audio book. I find that I get so engrossed that the time flies! You could even say that you will only listen to your favourite podcast when you are decluttering, to encourage you to get started. 2. Find a declutter challenge If[...]

The basic idea is that, instead of waiting for the house to get really dirty and then having to spend a lot of time cleaning it, you just clean a little bit at a time. I have also found this principle to be great for other areas of my life: finances, email, work tasks, etc. how to apply it? Here are some ideas to try: When I’m done eating, I wash my dishes i[...]
“I know I can’t do it 100%, so I shouldn’t even try.” This is just one of the many lies of perfectionism; it’s time we take a stand and be imperfect. Are you a closet perfectionist? Whether it’s in our work or home lives, it’s easy to get caught up in the quest for excellence. In fact, it’s a relatively common character trait - around 30% of the general population are perfectionists. For some it’s a positive driver, but for others it can actually be quite damaging… Perfectionism hides in many forms, such as all-or-nothing-thinking, imposter s[...]
