You know that feeling of wanting to declutter but not knowing where to start — or feeling too tired to tackle everything at once? You’re invited to take a gentler, more realistic approach by focusing on categories that often overflow in most homes.Some categories will earn you a gold star — no excess there. Others might feel uncomfortably accurate. That’s okay. You don’t need to fix everything. You just need one place to begin.Go through common problem categories seen again and again in real homes: books you’ll never reread, renovation or gardening clothes that have multiplied, craft supplies from hobbies that had their season, and baking trays that seem to breed in cupboards. You’re also prompted to rethink old phones, excess blankets, paperwork, toys, reusable shopping bags, and stationery that no longer fits how you live now.You’re reminded that loving something doesn’t require keeping all of it. You can love reading without owning shelves of books. You can be creative without storing supplies for ten different crafts. You can be prepared without holding onto every “just in case.”If you’re overwhelmed, unwell, or in survival mode, you’re reassured that rest comes first. Your home has waited this long — it can wait a little longer. But if you’re ready to do something, choosing one contained category can restore momentum, clarity, and confidence.Join my Paperwork Course if you're wanting to get started sorting through and organising your paperwork in 2026You may also like to listen to these episodes:5 Home TruthsOpportunity Cost/ Cost Benefit AnalysisJoin my communityLeave a 5 Star Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio Hosted on Acast.
