How full is your garage? Are you running out of floor space? Do you feel like the garage walls are closing in on you? Is it hard to find items in your garage?If you answered yes to any of these questions, it might be time to declutter your garage.The garage is a space that can easily attract clutter. Sometimes it’s easier to put things away in a place where we don’t spend much time. But over time, items pile up, making it impossible to access your space, let alone move around without knocking things over.In todays episode learn the 5 steps to decluttering your garage and organising it like a pro. Tips around storage, how to use the space and the benefits of storing your car in your garage (novel I know!) If you are someone who has managed to fit your car in the garage as a result of decluttering, make sure you let us know in our Facebook group!You may also like to listen to these episodes:Garage/ShedGarden OrganisingNuts & BoltsSports EquipmentInside Your CarJoin our communityBecome a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Ever been struck by the complete opulence of consumerism? Like smacked in the face by it to the point where it makes you feel sick in the stomach?Consumerism is "a social and economic order that encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-increasing amounts". Consuming and purchasing things you don't need in compounding quantities... will not make you happy or satisfied or fulfilled. It will cause you stress as you have to earn the money to pay for these things, then store them in your already full home.Today explore the traps of consumerism as well as some alternatives that don't require you to completely give up buying things but allow you to be intentional in how you consume with you being the boss, without consumerism dictating your choices.What else could you do with the time and money you mindlessly spend on the ever-increasing acquisition of goods?You may also like to listen to these episodes:Engaged or EntertainedObject PermanenceValues with Laurie PalauObligationJoin our communityBecome a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

A bit of a philosophical episode today - when we purchase things are they for our engagement or our entertainment? How can we be intentional in choosing engagement or entertainment to meet our needs and align with our values?Engagement requires thought, encourages intention, is purposeful, sparks creativity, creates memoriesEntertainment is often single-use, requires your passive attention, is done for you, and requires someone else's creativityThere is a season for both, today be encouraged to be intentional about when you need engagement and when you need entertainment. Do you sometimes buy something or spend your time and energy on entertainment, but what you really need is engagement and then end up feeling empty and unsatisfied.You may also like to listen to these episodes:Object PermanenceValues with Laurie PalauJoin our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget developed Object Permanence theory. Object permanence, put simply, is the ability to understand that an object continues to exist, even though it can no longer be seen, heard or touched.Think of it like out of sight, out of mind. When you forget something because you can no longer see it... like the glasses on top of your head, the phone you put down on the bench, or the gifts you bought for the kids and forgot about because you hid them in the top of the wardrobe. Today explore how being conscious of Object Permanence can help you with decluttering, and how you can organise your home to capitalise on either your lack of object permanence or your strong object permanence. Understanding our relationship with our stuff and how our minds work can bring such freedom from clutter!You may also like to listen to these episodes:Grief & GratitudeObligationWelcome Back to The Art of DeclutteringJoin our communityBecome a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Each of us has an invisible bucket and when others poke holes in our bucket, it's important to have bucket fillers and hole pluggers in our lives. When our bucket is full, our overflow is encouragement, resilience, kind words, wise choices, enthusiasm, drive, purpose and freedom for ourselves and others.When people around us speak harsh words, exclude us, spread rumours, lie, put us down, give labels or even just don't understand us... a hole gets poked in our bucketsFreya, one of our team encouraged me this week when someone tried to poke holes in my bucket, that when we have the right people around us, they will plug our holes or when we have a full bucket we are more able to repel negativity around us.

I have noticed that there are some areas of clutter that are more relevant to women. So I've asked myself why is this the case. Not all women, not no men... but generally speaking it's what I find when I see clients. So WHY is this the case? Often women carry the mental load. For ourselves, our households, and our communities. We account for unseen situations (many women keep Band-Aids in their handbags, not because they’re clumsy but for that moment when someone else needs one). Women are traditionally the storytellers, the carers, the nurturers, and the gatherers. And boy can we gather!!This episode is all about exploring the why behind our clutter, and asking ourselves if we really need to continue keeping all the things, or if it's time to shed the expectations we put on ourselves and society puts on us.You may also like to listen to these episodes:Mental LoadIt's all my Husband and Kids FaultOffloadingJoin our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Remembering to do ANYTHING 3 times a day is a huge effort, requiring mental load that frankly, most of us don't have. And when you do have to do something 3 times a day (like tidying up toys, clearing the kitchen bench, washing dishes) it kind of feels like you spend all day doing it because every time you look around, it is messy again or needs your attention.Explore the idea of reducing anything you're doing 3 times a day into incidental habits rather than a big task that you have to remember to do and might seem overwhelming. Instead of clearing the bench 3 times a day, can you get into the micro habit of putting things away instead of on the bench? Instead of tidying up a messy playroom 3 times a day, can you get into the micro habit of helping your child pack up one activity before moving onto another?Simplification is the key!You may also like to listen to these episodes:Micro DeclutterIs it cleaning, tidying or decluttering?FatigueJoin our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Where does that sense of obligation come from and how can we manage our response when we're offered free stuff?Do you see potential in everything? Do you want to say yes just to avoid potentially hurting someone's feelings? Do you have a scarcity mindset or is there even a sense of greed in your decision making?Today learn from my son Jesse in how he honestly and graciously says no when offered something he doesn't need or want.

If you had to take a guess... how many gift cards or vouchers do you currently have that are yet to be redeemed? I share in this episode how many I currently have... and I make a plan to redeem them (I've already used 2 since recording the episode).Gift cards and vouchers are great presents as they can show you know someone by what voucher you buy them but also allows freedom for the recipient to decide what they would like to spend it on. Decluttering them isn't about making space in your wallet (although it will), it's about clearing the mental load of knowing you have them and trying to remember to use them. Enjoy some activities and gifts that you've been given and make sure you use those vouchers that are sitting around your home.I also float an idea for a 'Return to Sender' amendment where if a voucher is purchased and never redeemed, after 3 years the voucher is returned to the original buyer.Episodes to listen to nextGiftsChristmas Gifts & WrapJoin our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

As you come out of a busy season like Christmas or holidays it's so good to have some easy meals to eat, that require little preparation. This is a great chance to eat your way through your freezer, whether it's frozen meals, frozen veggies or half tubs of icecream, by decluttering your freezer (ideally by using what is in there) you'll avoid food wastage (frozen food still expires) and create space for you to organise your freezer to best suit your needs.Today hear about two different types of freezer decluttering... hot tip... my favourite is 'just add carbs and cheese'. I hope you can have a night off cooking as past you froze a meal for future you to enjoy!Episodes to listen to nextFridge & FreezerFridgeMeal PlanningJoin our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

A few weeks ago I decided to declutter a big purple suitcase that was over 20 years old, we just didn't need it anymore, we travel pretty light and have found that for any holiday we've been on in the last 15 years we've been fine with one large suitcase and everyone just having one carry on piece of luggage (if we're flying).Today be challenged to gather all your luggage in one place and do a true assessment of what you do and don't need. Op shops and charity donation businesses will happily take your luggage that still works so no use you keeping it stashed away in a cupboard or under the stairs taking up precious real estate.Join our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Today be challenged and inspired to declutter any unused bikes and scooters that you or your kids have lying around. Instead of having excess sitting around - have the ones you do want to use easy to access and remove the barrier to going for a bike ride.Also, think about where you keep helmets, locks, spare tubes, lights and other accessories so that when something needs fixing or you decide to go for a ride, you can quickly repair or grab what you need.Join our community Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Minimalism is something we talk about ALL the time but until now had not dedicated an entire episode to. Minimalism has and always will be a huge part of our lives and one of our favourite things to share about – clearly as we go on about it a lot! Both of us identify as minimalists, but we have decided that ‘intentionalism’ (did we just make up a new word?!) really is a better word to describe this type of lifestyle. There is so much gold in this episode so sit back relax and take it all in!In this episode we:● Discuss what minimalism is and what does it really look like;● Share our own journeys into minimalism;● Highlight what minimalism isn’t;● Discover that minimalism is really about freedom;● Challenge you to be intentional about what comes into your home and what goes out;● Remind you that minimalism is more than just about having less stuff;Things mentioned in this episode and other helpful links:● Head, Heart & Home Course● The Minimalists● Brooke McAlary book ‘Slow’● Joshua Becker● Tsh Oxenreider● Leo Babauta● The Minimalist Mom● Andy Stanley – Margin● Simply Organised bookSpecial thanks to our listener from Gladstone QLD for your review!! And to our 1 star review listener… we wish you well and hope you find a podcast that suits your needs.Join our community ● Become a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.
