Organising is more than rearranging things in your home. You can for example also use organising to as preparation for appointments or important meetings.

Recently I was thinking that organisation and being an environmentalist might actually go hand in hand in some cases.

In this article, I’ll introduce, two different ways to declutter;  one way is to focus on one area at the time, the other way is picking up like items and bringing them to their ‘home’, which means you can declutter larger areas.

Have you ever heard of ontology or taxonomies? These were relatively new words for me and I was thrilled to learn more about them. These ideas also have major implications for organising.

Today, I want to delve deeper into the world of keys and explore effective strategies for deciphering between them and maintaining a clutter-free life.

Are you guilty of buying just to feel good? If you, however, are serious about decluttering and organising your life, you might want to stop-buying and think about your purchases.

Organising your safe space. Years ago I gave my children both a little tent to play with. It was small but it was for both of them their sacred space and it struck me how important this really is.

As we declutter and organise our lives we could potentially do more than our bit for our environment. How? Well once you have decluttered your spaces, you are much more aware of what you bring into them.

Everyone procrastinates and that is okay, to a certain extent. It is a matter of how long we procrastinate and on which things.

Organising your photos, have you done this? Or is it still on the list of things you should organise? I think there are generally, two great times to organise your pictures; in the times that we are on holiday and/ or in the winter months.

Recently I was pondering the history of organising. Why is it that decluttering and organising is so very hard, satisfying and popular for us today? There are several explanations for this, in this article I’ll talk about two; the scarcity mentality and the current focus on the environment.

June is a month to truly focus on those papers, finances, and all the other joys that go along with it. Let’s get ‘paper shuffling’!

Recently I worked on several large and very different projects. What they all had in common was the approach that had to be taken. We had to look at the big picture and then break it up into smaller portions to make sense of the whole.

Cleaning is not making something smell nice with some soapy water. Real cleaning is the removal of dirt, sounds so simple but it isn’t always done.

Two things that are very important with any project but especially in the kitchen is a focus on; decluttering and functionality.  

Moving house is a great way to declutter, the other nice thing about moving is that you can decide to only let items you truly like enter your new home and your new life.

Moving is undeniably one of the most stress-inducing events in our lives, especially when clutter is involved. Between 2014 and 2019 I had the ‘pleasure’ of moving house four times!

Organising is about much more than containers and cleaning up your mess. It is about feeling comfortable in your own home one way to do this and get more organised is by doing a little bit each day.

This is the end of the financial year in Australia and it might be time to assess how we do our paperwork.

When are you truly organised? Is it when you have nothing out of place in your house when dishes are done, laundry is folded and washed, and no piece of paper lives on your desk? Or is it when you manage to get the kids to school (dressed), when you are doing a pretty good job at work and overall your family is happy and healthy living their day-to-day lives.
