<description>&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever looked around your home and felt that something just isn’t working, you’re not alone. So many people tell me they’re frustrated with their space, but they can’t quite put their finger on &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt;. And when you don’t know what the real problem is, it’s almost impossible to find a solution that actually sticks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s exactly why I’ve created a simple, three-part framework I call What’s Your Problem? It’s designed to help you diagnose what’s going on beneath the surface so you can finally move forward with confidence, clarity, and a whole lot more breathing space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over years of working with clients, I’ve noticed that clutter almost always comes back to one of these:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. A Quantity Problem – there’s simply too much stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. A Systems Problem – things don’t have clear homes or logical flow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. A Habits Problem – the daily rhythms that keep things running just aren’t in place yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of the time, the first layer we need to peel back is quantity. And I want to encourage you gently here: if you’re not sure what your problem is, start by assuming it’s this one. It usually is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;A quantity problem doesn’t mean you’ve “failed” or that your home is too small or too messy. It simply means you have more items than your space, your routines, or your season of life can comfortably hold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe your kids’ toys spill across the floor every day and the room never feels tidy, no matter how much you organise. Maybe your wardrobe feels overwhelming or your kitchen benches never seem clear. Those are classic signs of too much inventory — not a lack of containers, not “lazy kids,” and not poor habits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the Solution? Decluttering — Gently and Intentionally&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you reduce quantity, everything else becomes easier. You don’t need to declutter your entire house in one go. Just start with the space that’s bothering you most and ask:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What’s rubbish? What can I donate? What can leave my home and lighten my load?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;You don’t have to get it perfect. You don’t even have to finish it. Every little bit of reduction creates more calm, more space, and more breathing room for your life to happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;But for now, start here: If your home feels overwhelming, it’s very likely a quantity problem. And the good news? Quantity problems are absolutely solvable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next week, we’ll move into systems — the part where everything starts to click into place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may also like to listen to these episodes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theartofdecluttering.com.au/podcast/whats-your-problem-quantity/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;What's Your Problem?...

Enjoy this 3 week series called "What's Your Problem?" Discover the 3 biggest problems we find when diagnosing what a clutter problem is and learn the solution for each also!  Week one is all about a QUANTITY problem... solved by DECLUTTERING

If you’ve ever looked around your home and felt that something just isn’t working, you’re not alone. So many people tell me they’re frustrated with their space, but they can’t quite put their finger on why. And when you don’t know what the real problem is, it’s almost impossible to find a solution that actually sticks. That’s exactly why I’ve created a simple, three-part framework I call What’s Your Problem? It’s designed to help you diagnose what’s going on beneath the surface so you can finally move forward with confidence, clarity, and a whole lot more breathing space. Over years of working with clients, I’ve noticed that clutter almost always comes back to one of these:1. A Quantity Problem – there’s simply too much stuff.2. A Systems Problem – things don’t have clear homes or logical flow.3. A Habits Problem – the daily rhythms that keep things running just aren’t in place yet. Most of the time, the first layer we need to peel back is quantity. And I want to encourage you gently here: if you’re not sure what your problem is, start by assuming it’s this one. It usually is. A quantity problem doesn’t mean you’ve “failed” or that your home is too small or too messy. It simply means you have more items than your space, your routines, or your season of life can comfortably hold. Maybe your kids’ toys spill across the floor every day and the room never feels tidy, no matter how much you organise. Maybe your wardrobe feels overwhelming or your kitchen benches never seem clear. Those are classic signs of too much inventory — not a lack of containers, not “lazy kids,” and not poor habits. And the Solution? Decluttering — Gently and Intentionally When you reduce quantity, everything else becomes easier. You don’t need to declutter your entire house in one go. Just start with the space that’s bothering you most and ask:What’s rubbish? What can I donate? What can leave my home and lighten my load? You don’t have to get it perfect. You don’t even have to finish it. Every little bit of reduction creates more calm, more space, and more breathing room for your life to happen. But for now, start here: If your home feels overwhelming, it’s very likely a quantity problem. And the good news? Quantity problems are absolutely solvable. Next week, we’ll move into systems — the part where everything starts to click into place.

<description>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sisters and Cousins: A Simple Way to Know Where Everything Belongs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the biggest challenges in organising isn’t the sorting or the tidying — it’s that moment when you’re holding something in your hand thinking, &lt;em&gt;“But where should this actually live?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever felt that, you’re not alone. And I want to share a little framework I use that might make things instantly clearer for you: I call it &lt;strong&gt;Sisters and Cousins&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sisters: Same-Same Items&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I say “sisters,” I’m talking about items that are exactly the same. Think about all your teaspoons, or all your bed sheets, or all your scissors. These are sisters — the same family, the same purpose. Sisters belong together, usually in the same drawer, the same shelf, or the same container.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And here’s the beautiful part: you already do this without thinking. When you bring home a new teaspoon, you don’t wander around wondering where it should live. You automatically place it with its sisters. The system already works for you — you just may not have had language for it before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cousins: Same-Same, But Different&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cousins are items that aren’t identical, but they make sense together in real life. Scissors and sticky tape. Light bulbs and batteries. Towels and sheets. These aren’t sisters… but they definitely belong in the same neighbourhood because your brain naturally looks for them together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you think in cousins, you make your home work &lt;em&gt;for&lt;/em&gt; you. If you use sticky tape and scissors together all the time, keeping them side-by-side isn’t just logical — it saves you time and reduces frustration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Use Determines the Cousin Group&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the part I love most: cousins can change depending on &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; lifestyle. A camping chair might belong with camping gear… unless you use it weekly at kids’ sport, or for beach days, or for picnics. The best home for something is the place where &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; look first — not where the item “should” go.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try Asking Yourself Two Questions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next time you’re stuck deciding where something lives, pause for just a moment and ask:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where are its sisters?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where are its cousins?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;You might be surprised how quickly the answer comes. And with that clarity, your home becomes easier to maintain, easier to navigate, and ultimately… so much more freeing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join our community &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leave a &lt;a href="https://g.page/r/CaTTEYtgIiQTEBI/review" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Google Review&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Follow me on &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/theartofdecluttering/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Follow me on &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/artofdecluttering/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Join my Facebook &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/theartofdeclutteringcommunity/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Leave a review on &lt;a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-art-of-decluttering/id1659544028" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Apple Podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from &lt;a href="https://www.four4ty.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Four4ty Studio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

If you ever get stuck when you're organising wondering where something should be kept, have a think about an items sisters and cousins. 

<h3>Sisters and Cousins: A Simple Way to Know Where Everything Belongs</h3> One of the biggest challenges in organising isn’t the sorting or the tidying — it’s that moment when you’re holding something in your hand thinking, “But where should this actually live?” If you’ve ever felt that, you’re not alone. And I want to share a little framework I use that might make things instantly clearer for you: I call it Sisters and Cousins. Sisters: Same-Same Items When I say “sisters,” I’m talking about items that are exactly the same. Think about all your teaspoons, or all your bed sheets, or all your scissors. These are sisters — the same family, the same purpose. Sisters belong together, usually in the same drawer, the same shelf, or the same container. And here’s the beautiful part: you already do this without thinking. When you bring home a new teaspoon, you don’t wander around wondering where it should live. You automatically place it with its sisters. The system already works for you — you just may not have had language for it before. Cousins: Same-Same, But Different Cousins are items that aren’t identical, but they make sense together in real life. Scissors and sticky tape. Light bulbs and batteries. Towels and sheets. These aren’t sisters… but they definitely belong in the same neighbourhood because your brain naturally looks for them together. When you think in cousins, you make your home work for you. If you use sticky tape and scissors together all the time, keeping them side-by-side isn’t just logical — it saves you time and reduces frustration. Your Use Determines the Cousin Group This is the part I love most: cousins can change depending on your lifestyle. A camping chair might belong with camping gear… unless you use it weekly at kids’ sport, or for beach days, or for picnics. The best home for something is the place where you look first — not where the item “should” go. Try Asking Yourself Two Questions Next time you’re stuck deciding where something lives, pause for just a moment and ask:Where are its sisters?Where are its cousins? You might be surprised how quickly the answer comes. And with that clarity, your home becomes easier to maintain, easier to navigate, and ultimately… so much more freeing.

Whether you’re an ADHDer like me, or not, body doubling can supercharge your time management and follow through in getting any task done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Body doubling is about having someone alongside you for motivation and accountability when you’re doing a job. You might know the right thing to do, have the necessary skills and mastery to do it… but for some reason are unable to just get it done on your own… you’re not alone!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heaps of people tell me that they use this podcast as their body double. they pop it on while they declutter, organise, tidy, clean etc and because they’re familiar with me and my voice it acts as a body double. That makes my heart sing – I’m always happy to be your body double 💪🏼&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in booking a virtual session with me, I’d love to work with you!
