Excuses, excuses! Do you like to hide behind those?

What’s the biggest decluttering hurdle you face? For lots of people it’s the lack of time. Or perceived lack of time!

For others, it’s the amount of clutter that needs to be sorted.

Mostly though, we can probably all agree, it’s about lack of motivation.

Redefine The Hurdle

Take some time time to plan around your decluttering hurdle.

Work, your own business, and sporting activities often derail the decluttering plans you have set. Most of your time may be allotted to work, family bonding and other hobbies. Chores time are only relegated to cleaning. Do you have weekends planned well? Be vigilant and really set aside a few hours. Make a systematic plan! Start from the easiest task first.

For those who think they lack skill (we’d rather think of it as “actionable knowledge”!) there is a stack of information available in our free blog posts that can help you get started. For those who lack physical ability we have a special article for you too!

So let’s get started! Get ready to embrace fulfilment, peace of mind and happiness! And the pure joy of never having to look for missing things ever again or hosting that house party without the rush cleanup!
