Welcome to another episode of Decluttering Untangled with Heather Tingle. In this episode, Heather explores a critical topic: why decluttering your home quickly is not only impractical but also inadvisable. She delves into the practical and mental reasons behind this.

Why Quick Decluttering Doesn't Work:

  • Emotional Fatigue: Decluttering can be emotionally exhausting. It's not just about the physical labor; it involves making constant decisions, which can be draining.
  • Repetition Boredom: Repeating the same tasks can become tedious, particularly for those with ADHD. Breaks are essential to stay motivated and avoid burnout.
  • Mental Breaks: Feeling like decluttering is dragging on is a sign that breaks are needed to recharge and return with fresh energy and enthusiasm.

Planning is Key:

  • Know Your Stopping Points: Planning decluttering sessions with clear stopping points is crucial. These could be after each room or section, or before significant events like holidays or recovery periods from illnesses.
  • Celebrate Small Wins: Recognising and celebrating progress, no matter how small, is vital. This positive reinforcement helps maintain motivation.

Long-Term Strategy:

  • A Marathon, Not a Sprint: Decluttering is a long-term project. The skills and habits developed during this process will serve a lifetime.

The Importance of Breaks:

  • Assess and Adjust: After decluttering and reorganising, take time to assess what is working and what isn't. Adjust strategies as needed to ensure spaces stay organised.
  • Celebrate Achievements: It’s important to celebrate every win, no matter how small. This helps in maintaining a positive outlook and motivation.

Final Thoughts: Heather emphasises the importance of patience and persistence in decluttering. It's a process that takes time and should be approached methodically. Remember, it's about creating lasting habits and skills that will keep your space organised for life. Be kind to yourself, celebrate your progress, and keep untangling.

Send me a text message about this podcast Summary In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle discusses the challenges of decluttering with a focus on percentages. She emphasises the emotional aspects of decluttering, arguing that setting numerical targets can create unnecessary pressure and hinder the process. Instead, she advocates for a mindset shift towards valuing what to keep rather than what to let go, allowing for a more natural and fulfilling decluttering experience. Takeaways Setting a percentage target for decluttering can create pressure. Focusing on what to keep is more beneficial than what to let go. Decluttering is an emotional process, not just a logical one. Removing expectations can make starting decluttering easier. You may end up keeping more if you focus on percentages. The goal of decluttering is to love what you have. Letting go of items can bring relief and lightness. It's important to declutter thoroughly by category. Numbers can be useful for tracking but not for decision-making. Work by emotions first, then consider space.

Send me a text message about this podcast Summary In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle explores the common issue of accumulating notebooks that often go unused. She discusses the psychological allure of stationery, the importance of decluttering these items, and offers practical advice on how to effectively use or replace notebooks with alternatives. Heather emphasises the need to rethink the purpose of notebooks and encourages listeners to let go of unnecessary items while finding more efficient ways to organise their thoughts and tasks. Takeaways Notebooks often accumulate without being used effectively. The allure of new stationery can lead to repeated cycles of purchase and neglect. Perfectionism can hinder the use of notebooks, leading to stress over mistakes. Many notes in notebooks are rarely revisited and can be let go. Writing in notebooks is more about learning than referencing later. Shredding or burning old notes can be cathartic and freeing. Consider the actual need for each notebook before keeping it. Alternatives like diaries and post-it notes can be more effective for organisation. Technology can provide useful tools for note-taking and organisation. Remarkable - digital alternative to notebooks (affiliate link) Using what you already have can prevent unnecessary purchases.

Send me a text message about this podcast Summary In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle discusses the challenges of dealing with sentimental gifts, particularly christening, baptism and new baby gifts. She emphasises the importance of distinguishing between genuine sentimental value and feelings of obligation.

Send me a text message about this podcast Summary In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle explores the common issue of accumulating cleaning products and the reasons behind it. She discusses the emotional and practical challenges of decluttering these items and provides actionable strategies for organising and managing cleaning supplies effectively. The conversation emphasises the importance of understanding personal cleaning needs, making informed decisions about products, and finding suitable homes for remaining items. Takeaways We tend to collect more cleaning products than we actually use. The excitement of new cleaning products often fades quickly. Harsh chemicals can be intimidating and lead to procrastination. Analysis paralysis can occur with too many similar products. Watching cleaning transformations doesn't mean we will do it ourselves. It's important to categorise and assess cleaning supplies regularly. Cleaning products can expire, and we should check their condition. Donating unopened products is a great way to declutter responsibly. Storing cleaning supplies where they are used is more efficient. Containerising cleaning products can help keep them organised.
