Environmental Hazards
How can you keep yourself safe while decluttering? Even in your own home, decluttering can stir up dust or mould particulates and aggravate asthma. Naturally when you're moving items that have been in place for a long time, you'll disrupt dust!
Learn from Amy's experience of being bitten by a spider and ending up in hospital, to keep yourself physically safe while decluttering. Give consideration to trip hazards, falls risk, insects and pests and do what you can to keep yourself physically safe.
Bit of a Public Service Announcement episode today from the trenches :)

Time Will Tell
If you've got items you'd really LIKE to declutter but you're a bit nervous... why not give a Time Will Tell Box a go.
Pop items you need just a little bit more time to decide on into a box to assess again in a few months. Seal it up and write the date on the box. See what you think in a few months... hopefully once you've experienced living without the items you'll then be ready to donate the items in your Time Will Tell Box.
Before you open the box, try to think what might be in there that you've missed. You might be surprised that you forget what you put in... in which case send it off for donation!
Remember to declutter as much as you can and then only put the items in the time will tell box if you absolutely need to. It's a backstop, not a full stop.

Customer Reviews
Helpful encouragement
I absolutely love The Art of Decluttering. I started a decluttering journey about two years ago. Amy gives practical tips and lots of encouragement that have helped me to live intentionally. I thought Decluttering was just clearing out stuff. Because of Amy I shop intentionally, prioritize time to spend it with people not stuff, look at my house/car/schedule etc with fresh eyes… we even pack for trips differently. I am grateful for Amy’s voice in my head as I (and now my family) work through simplifying our stuff. We have a way to go but I’m glad we’re on the journey.
