Here are some great tips to help you set the realistic goals you truly want to achieve and motivate you to make them a reality. (more…)

Clutter is caused by the need to justify wastefulness. It is a collection of possessions that no longer serve a purpose in our daily lives but seem to take up valuable space. More times than not we think only of the physical impact that clutter has on our space. But it is the emotional impact of the clutter that makes it almost unbearable to deal with. (more…)

The accumulation of clutter can be caused by a need to justify wastefulness. Over the years, possessions have been bought that are no longer useful or needed but they still lurk in homes, taking up vital space. Many people find it difficult to do away with such items, be it furniture, clothes or toys, simply because hard-earned cast was spent – or wasted – on their acquisition. Hence the concept of Guilt Fuelled Hoarding begins. People find it difficult to part with their unwanted possessions because it makes them feel guilty for wasting money. (more…)

If you have de-cluttered your home but are left wondering how you will ever maintain such an organised environment, these tips should help:
1. Avoid bringing more clutter into your home. Purchase only items you need and know you will use.
2. Avoid moving items around your house: put it away in its rightful place immediately or throw it away!
3. Ensure your family takes part in your efforts. Instil in them these essential life skills so they become organised and in control of their surroundings.
4. Tackle one room at a time when cleaning and tidying. This will help you to avoid becoming overwhelmed with any time-consuming tasks.
5. A mini de-clutter at the end of each month or season is a great habit to adopt. It will help you maintain the organisation of each room of your house without allowing the clutter to re-accumulate. (more…)
