This is Sort Your Life Out Unpacked with me, Dilly Carter.

Every episode, a celebrity guest will hand over three boxes, each containing an item from their own home.

We'll unbox them together and hear plenty of memories and stories too.

Along the way, there'll be simple tips to help you sort your own life out.

My guest this episode is basically the queen of podcasting.

She's been showing us since 2018 that we can mess up in a million ways and it's okay to do so.

But given that she rates herself a nine and a half out of ten when it comes to being organised, I'm going to guess she doesn't fail at clearing her clutter.

It is, of course, the incredible How To Fail host, broadcaster and author, Elizabeth Day.

Oh, Tilly.

Nine and a half out of ten.

Are you coming for my job?

Do you know what?

People don't realise how being organised affects our sleep.

And sleep is our most important commodity.

So if everything in your house is unsettled, if you are feeling like you are living in chaos, it affects our sleep because you've got this to-do list in your head that you need to tick off.

You know that feeling when you go on holiday and you walk into a hotel room and you're like, you have that deep breath.

And the reason that we love that feeling is because of that calm, because there is nothing around.

There's no clutter.
