Ever started a decluttering project with great intentions, only to end up overwhelmed, exhausted, and surrounded by more mess than when you began?

In this episode, Amy explores why we often bite off more than we can chew when decluttering — and how to avoid it. She shares practical strategies for breaking projects into manageable chunks, staying motivated, and creating lasting success without burnout.

If you’ve ever felt defeated halfway through a clean-up, this episode will help you find your rhythm and rediscover the joy in decluttering.

Have you ever wondered how two people can look at the exact same object and see something completely different? In this episode, we’re exploring object classification — the unconscious way our brains decide what something is and what should happen to it, basically... why we see the same things so differently.

Take, for example, a glass left on the kitchen bench. Is it a dirty cup that needs to go in the dishwasher, or a glass someone left there to remind them to stay hydrated? The way we classify that glass can vary wildly between people — and often causes tension in households.

Unpack how internal classification systems shape our daily routines, from 'half-worn clothes' to kids’ ongoing play setups, and why these small differences can lead to big misunderstandings. Amy shares real-life examples and practical hacks — like colour-coded cups, designated zones for in-between clothes, and clearer family communication — to reduce confusion and frustration.

Ultimately, understanding object classification helps us see that what looks like clutter or laziness might actually be logic — just not our kind of logic.

When you look around a space and feel like the clutter is EVERYWHERE reducing the volume is a great hack to reduce overwhelm so you can tackle your clutter in an intentional and ordered manner.

Use like with like boxes, or intentional doom boxes to reduce the volume (amount of space the clutter takes up or is spread over). Tackling clutter once you know what you're actually dealing with is so much easier than looking at spread out clutter and trying to figure out where to start.

These tips work well for kids and teenagers too!

Overstimulation.

Can you relate to your home being overstimulating?

Is clutter and disorganisation the main cause of this for you?

Sometimes it's because you have too much stuff... but often it's also due to lack of organisation.

Looking into a toy space where the toys are strewn all over the floor is more overstimulating than a toy space with containers/ storage and order.

If you open the pantry and can't easily find ingredients because it's disorganised, you're less likely to cook dinner and more likely to have cereal or get uber eats.

Overstimulation effects us mentally, emotionally and physically, learn some simple tips to combat this in todays episode

Today we're talking about seeing the vertical walls in our home with fresh eyes. Oftentimes the art/ pictures/ decor on our walls becomes invisible to us as we've become so used to it our brains don't even register it anymore.

Take a slow walk through your home, noticing everything on your walls, doors and front of your fridge, without touching anything, just noticing.

You might like to change up some of your photos/ art around the house, or you may be inspired to clear spaces and enjoy them blank for a while. Maybe you're creative and you want to create some art for yourself, or be on the look for ways to decorate your walls in a fresh way.
