Summary

In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle discusses the common struggles faced by individuals attempting to declutter their homes, particularly those who may be neurodivergent or dealing with hoarding tendencies. She emphasises the difference between actual decluttering and the act of churning, where individuals may feel productive but are merely moving items around without reducing clutter. Heather provides insights into the emotional aspects of decluttering, the importance of making decisions about what to keep or let go, and offers practical strategies to break the cycle of churning. The episode concludes with encouragement to start small and be kind to oneself throughout the decluttering process.
