One of our team members Bec shares with us today the adventure of building and living in a van for 6 months as she and her partner travelled Australia.

Learn what it was like to live as a minimalist on the road, and how even when living in a van they found they had items they didn't need.

Bec shares some of the life altering and career changing lessons she learnt while on the road that she now carries with her and shares with clients in her work as a Decluttering and Organising Expert.

Maybe you'll be inspired to make the plunge to living with less and experiencing more too!

I've been thinking a lot about the correlation between clutter and loneliness. I speak to so many clients who are suffering from loneliness and often one the significant factors contributing to their loneliness is the clutter in their house.

1. Do you avoid having people over because you're ashamed of the state of your home?
2. Do you avoid going out because you feel bad that you should instead be tidying up?
3. Do you say no to invites to other people's homes because you know you can't reciprocate?
4. Do your children not have play dates because you don't want the parents seeing your home?

Although you might not instantly draw the line between clutter and loneliness, once you see it you realise the power it holds over so many people's lives. Loneliness is a silent killer and if by engaging in decluttering (or making peace with the clutter) you can reduce your social isolation then I think it's definitely a conversation we should be having.

Two areas of every home that make a huge impact on if you're feeling like a boss and on top of things, or if you feel like you're drowning are LAUNDRY and DISHES.

The reason they're probably your nemesis (and mine!) is because they are never-ending, multi step, impacted by clutter and have many steps and opportunities for procrastination.

TIP #1 - HAVE LESS

Less clothes, less towels, less sheets, less dishes, less containers, less cutlery, less utensils, less pans. When you have less, it's easier to put things away and stay on top of these nemesis chores.

TIP #2 - DO THE NEXT STEP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Once you have less, it's so much easier to do the next step as soon as possible. Fill the dishwasher, put away the dry washing, hang out the wet washing. You don't have to wait until you have an hour to tackle these chores, instead use 5 minute moments you have to just do the next step rather than having to wait until you have a big chunk of time to focus for a long time. 5 minute moments can make a huge impact on your ability to stay on top of these nemesis chores.
