In this deeply moving episode, Ingrid and Lesley explore the profound emotional landscape of decluttering through the eyes of poet Alison Binney. Discover how she transformed the overwhelming task of clearing her father's house into a collection of beautiful, reflective poetry that captures both the pain and beauty of letting go.
Alison shares her authentic experience of emptying her childhood home whilst her father lived in care with dementia. This wasn't the planned, systematic approach of Swedish death cleaning, but rather an emotionally charged journey through decades of accumulated belongings and memories. Her story offers both practical wisdom and emotional support for anyone facing similar circumstances, whilst her poetry provides a unique lens through which to view the decluttering process.

10 things to declutter from your home office
Is your home office drowning in clutter that's sabotaging your productivity every single day?
What if clearing just 10 specific types of items could transform your workspace from chaos to clarity?
How would it feel to finally create a home office that actually inspires you to do your best work?
🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/369
Lesley and Ingrid tackle the overwhelming task of home office decluttering by breaking it down into manageable chunks. They reveal the exact items that are likely cluttering your workspace and share practical strategies to reclaim your productivity zone.
In this episode, you'll discover why your home office has become a dumping ground for everything from old stationery to sentimental work memorabilia. The hosts share their signature approach to decluttering—focusing on one category at a time rather than trying to tackle everything at once. They explore practical solutions like using giveaway apps, dealing with outdated paperwork, and making tough decisions about those "just in case" items that are actually holding you back.

Organising Tools that Work with Get Organised HQ
Are you tired of buying organising products that promise the world but leave your spaces just as chaotic as before?
What if the secret to lasting organisation isn't about having the right tools, but knowing when and how to use them?
How can you tell the difference between a game-changing organising solution and just another pretty storage basket that will gather dust?
🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/368
Lesley and Ingrid tackle the age-old question of whether organising tools actually work, sharing insights from their conversation with Tasha from Get Organised HQ about strategic organisation habits versus product dependency.
This episode dives deep into the psychology behind organising purchases, exploring why so many people fall into the trap of thinking the next storage solution will solve all their problems. The hosts discuss practical strategies for choosing tools that genuinely support your lifestyle, rather than creating more clutter disguised as organisation. They also share exciting details about the upcoming Get Organised HQ Virtual Summit in early September, where Declutter Hub will be contributing their expertise.
From the effectiveness of baskets to the power of label makers, this conversation covers the organising tools that truly make a difference. You'll discover how to ask the right questions before making purchases and learn practical tips for maintaining organised spaces long-term.

Understanding Labels and Diagnoses in Decluttering: Empowering or Limiting?
This episode delves into the roles of labels and diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, OCD, and anxiety in the context of decluttering and organising. The hosts discuss how a diagnosis can provide clarity and relief but can also feel limiting or overwhelming.
They share their personal experiences, emphasising the importance of individuality and the need for practical strategies that work with unique brain functions and habits.
The conversation explores how labels can both empower and hold people back, providing insights and practical tips for working with neurodiversity in the decluttering process.
Highlights include the significance of having fewer possessions and using labeled containers to maintain order, along with the value of self-awareness and ongoing learning.

In this episode we’re taking a step back in time to explore a fascinating question—when did we start having 'clutter' in our homes, and why did it become a problem? We’re joined by Professor Jane Hamlett, a leading expert in the history of the British home and domestic life. Jane is a Professor of Modern British History at Royal Holloway, University of London, and her research shines a light on how our homes—and our relationships with the things inside them—have evolved. Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist, this episode is packed with insights into how clutter has always told a deeper story about our homes, our identities, and our society."

In this episode, we dive into Swedish Death Cleaning. Despite its dramatic name, it’s a gentle, reflective approach to decluttering that helps reduce the burden on loved ones after we’re gone.
We also touch on finding your own rhythm with decluttering methods—from the KonMari method to our own to Reset Your Home System—and the power of community in helping you succeed.
Ultimately, Swedish Death Cleaning teaches us to lighten the load for others—but the real transformation happens when we lighten it for ourselves.
