Get Organised With DeCluttr Me

It's that time of the year when parents stress about their kids, and the kids sit sullenly at their desks trying to remember formulas (that you will most likely never use once you're an adult) and important chapters from a Charles Dickens novel. Or maybe that was how I remember the exam period! It's a tough period and even tougher if you are not organised and prepared to study and then take your e...

Today we decided to not focus on giving tips, but to discuss the conversation clients have or need to have with family and friends about the clutter in their lives and also about engaging a professional organiser to help them out. Often clients know they want to declutter and organise, but telling their their family seems to be a massive hurdle; as they are embarrassed to admit they need help for...

I often have friends and clients show me with glee the icon on their email box with the number of unread emails. It's like a badge of honour having thousands of unopened emails. But for some, it becomes overwhelming. As the emails pile up, the less desire they have to open their inbox and check their emails. This can result in them missing important correspondence. To help our listeners who are fe...

The kitchen sees more activity during these four weeks than any other time of the year.

One of my favourite areas to organise are newly built walk-in closets. I love it so much that my Instagram is mostly filled with walk-in closets which have been organised. As fabulous as walk-in closets are, they are often created by designers and the client with some flaws. There are parts of the space that have not been considered, which then causes problems when putting the clothes and accessor...

In this week's episode, we discuss a topic that can be very dry for some but is vital you deal with - important documents. When referring to important documents, I am talking about school certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, share certificates, title deeds for properties, Will and guardianship documents, financial documents including for your mortgage, pension and savings, passport and...

In this week's episode, I wanted to discuss a hot, fiery topic: how to get your spouse on board with decluttering. Often a client will tell me that their spouse is the reason for the clutter. They walk in the door every day and throw items around randomly; or they hoard items and don't want to let go of their clothes, paperwork or other items. This behaviour causes frustration and often acrimony i...

In this week's episode I wanted to discuss how decluttering and organising can impact your mental health in a positive way.

This week saw the loss of the genius designer Karl Largerfield who designed for Chanel, Fendi and of course his own label. Whilst he had his flaws, there was no mistaking his talent to create pieces which were adored and bought by many around the world (including myself). In honour of his legacy, I thought it would be apt to talk about how to look after our designer items in this week's podcast. A...
