  • Storage Units
    One in 10 Australians use a storage unit - and these figures are pretty consistent for our US listeners. Storage units can fill a gap, meet a need, and save you when you're in a bind... but left unattended their cost can far outweigh the benefit.Before you put things into storage, ask yourself some questions- Does that value of this item justify spending thousands of dollars per year to store it?- How will I feel about this item in 2-3 years when I've invested so much more money to keep it?- Would I be better off donating these items and just repurchasing them in the future if I really need them?Once you have a storage unit, see if these questions help you make the next right steps- Could I consolidate my storage unit into a smaller space to save money?- If I go through and declutter what I no longer need, could I save money by downsizing my storage unit or eliminate my need for it?- What else could I do with the money I'm currently spending on storage?Thanks to Prudence Madigan from Shift Your Storage for the helpful conversation and professional insightsJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

  • Wall Clutter
    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.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

  • Later Never Comes
    Until this week I never understood the saying, "later never comes" I just thought it meant procrastinators will always procrastinate, but it means that the time right now is literally never later (perhaps obvious to most!)Later is an indefinite postponement, which has real life impacts on our homes and lives when we continually put things off to an indefinite future. Learn today some strategies for getting things done like a boss and what to do when you can't tackle something straight away, but you also don't want to kick it down the road to later.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

  • Small Kitchen Appliances
    Every kitchen I've ever been into has at least one (and usually many more) small appliance that they are no longer using that is taking up precious real estate in their kitchen cupboards. Todays challenge is simple - take out every small appliance in your kitchen, lay it out on your benchtop or table and make honest choices about whether you use it enough to keep it (and allowing the space for it) or if it's time to let it go. When you're putting back the items you're keeping, put the most used at the front and set an alarm in your phone for 6-12 months time and if you haven't used the items at the back in that time, you can declutter them too.To get you thinking, here are some ideas of what small appliances might be hiding in your kitchen cupboards:ToasterSandwich press / jaffle makerBlenderStick (immersion) blenderFood processorHand mixerStand mixer (e.g. KitchenAid)Coffee machine (pod, espresso, drip, plunger etc.)Coffee grinderKettleSlow cooker / crockpotRice cookerAir fryerDeep fryerBread makerIce cream makerWaffle makerJuicerElectric frypan / skilletMulti-cooker (e.g. Instant Pot, Thermomix, Ninja Foodi)Electric griddleDehydratorPopcorn makerMilk frotherYoghurt makerEgg cookerPie makerFood steamerJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

  • Lost Value
    If you have any items in your home that you *thought* would be valuable but find out aren't then this episode is for you. It can be disappointing, frustrating or even devastating when you find out that items that you've kept because you were told they were valuable turn out to have very little monetary value.It might be coins, stamps, collections, antiques, vintage items or maybe just an appliance you paid a lot for and intended to sell. Sometimes they're not valuable anymore because too much time has passed and you missed the boat, and sometimes it's just how markets work and if there is no demand then your supply isn't valuable.My challenge today is to identify if there is a category or item that fits this in your home and take the next right step. Maybe it's getting an official valuation, maybe it's just checking ebay and seeing if other people have had success in selling the item... and maybe (probably?) it is making the decision to donate it or sell it for cheap so you can let go of the mental load and reclaim the freedom of the physical space, and brain space these items of lost value have been taking up.Join the Get Organized HQ Virtual ConferenceJoin our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.
