- This week's guest is Helen Sanderson. Helen is a professional organizer, the creator of The Home Declutter Kit and the author of The Secret Life of Clutter.
We talk about our relationship with our team, the parallels between decluttering and productivity, why it's important to get clarity in everything we do and much more.
01:00 🏠 Clutter often results from decision fatigue, reflecting a reluctance to make choices at home.
05:33 🧘♀️ Decluttering involves understanding the emotional weight of possessions and balancing priorities.
16:32 📝 "Keepage" is keeping things due to habit; addressing mundane decisions frees mental space for productivity.
28:36 🤔 Introducing the "Don't-Know Draw"-a space to defer decisions, allowing time for gathering information.
40:13 🏠 Our homes reflect personality and values; balancing functionality and aesthetics is key to harmony.
44:05 🧠 Procrastination, often fuelled by perfectionism, is at the heart of clutter; overcoming perfectionism is crucial.
46:36 🌐 Completing tasks is essential; many people give up just before completion, contributing to the procrastination cycle.
48:40 🚢 "Real artists ship." Delivering and sharing work is crucial; don't let perfectionism hinder the process.
50:29 ❤️ Addressing clutter with compassion; the book aims to alleviate shame, encouraging kindness toward those struggling.

8:07 exactly! “Under a pile of clutter is a dream or vision that hasn’t been realized!”
💜✨✨
And under another is buried past trauma, hidden to be forgotten.
A good artist knows when one more stroke of the brush is going to ruin the whole painting.
I to used to procrastinate, but I had to put that off too❤
When I had a big apartment, I had a lot of books like you. But now that I have a small apartment. I save books on a kindle, have audio books or stream my books. I write a lot now.
I ask myself the following questions when deciding what to let go.
1. Have I used in the past year?
2. Can I rebuy in the future if needed?
3. Would I buy if I saw it in a charity shop?
I can relate to your laptop conundrum. I’ve realised that a lot of modern day things don’t get done because I don’t know how to move forward with them. Once I realise that’s the problem then I can work my way forward by trying to find answers on the internet or asking around. So google how to wipe a hard drive for instance. So often I don’t move forward because the problem seems too overwhelming and I presume I won’t be able to do it. I’ve really progressed since I started breaking everything down into little questions I need to find an answer to and little jobs that need to be done. It’s like one of those yes/no flowchart thingies.
Oh, you went on to say all of this in the video 😊
Breaking problems down into smaller pieces is always helpful. Also, trusting yourself that perhaps you CAN do it, if you only try. Good on you for making some progress! 🎉
@@sazennonumber Thank you ☺️
@@autumnb7135 🙂🏵🌿
Wow the insights and reflective approach here have been more helpful and motivating than a zillion decluttering videos I’ve gone through. Thank you so much
Great interview, Helen summed up so many of our problems around clutter in a way I've never heard before and which makes total sense. Thanks Graham and Helen!
Helen Sanderson is totally brilliant! Also enjoyed listening to Graham - leant so much. Thank you 🙏
It's a different world, someone there to take you coat when you come in! a cleaner, a gardener so all you have to do is a "little watering and mowing", presumably someone to take the green waste to the tip? All sounds absolutely wonderful. Where exactly is this land of plenty?
That was a gift! Thank you!
I love this episode ..helo us a lot....you gave us clear...direct message 🌺🌿❤️
Very helpful - thank you. Some of the concepts mentioned are new to me and are quite eye-opening. ❤
My space is saying to me "bloody hell love, what on earth is going on here? What is all of this??"
Thanks
I guess you won't see this but I couldn't find a place to dm you on Instagram or Facebook. I just want to say I really appreciate your books I read the productivity one and i'm currently making my way through your nutrition one. Very good stuff and I love your style and personality :) Thanks for your work I appreciate it! ps I'm trying my best to develope my second brain but for sure it's going to take some time.
That's amazing to hear! thanks for letting me know☺

paper some one me to be onto for my self and to start off with
Graham: Your books mean that you are an intellectual!
When he asked what his bookshelf told about him, I noticed his books were all new. That showed he valued new ideas.
@@SK-ki1te I respect any body that reads!
Some people have shelves full of new shiny books that they have never read, and never will. Bookshelf version of "dress to impress"
To a certain extent I feel rooms like that. Especially if the place is dirty and cluttered. Maybe it is painting and creating in my life.

Help! I'm possessed.
im overly companstaing my self dispragnized thinking while spell typing
I made it halfway through way too many advertisements
Way too many advertisements? THEY ere not advertisements! They are only ridiculous pauses that give us time to think.

Graham: RuPaul said that you didn't read any of these books!
house insurance: .... thats not gonna do u much good if ur house burns down.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Look I am a lost cause. I too went to art schools, in fact am highly educated, hopelessly old and still have a mind that won't stop learning, remembering it all and love gardens, cats and in fact all flora and fauna. My friends seem to be dying at an alarming rate. Too much stuff, everyone knows. I like ENGLISH GARDENS. I have no interest in a perfect, pruned cut it down garden. Though gardens I love are lots of work. Just flourishing full of a riot of color...planned. But my back porch...yikes! The spare room. double yikes. I make art with my STUFF.
