Summary

Welcome to another episode of Decluttering Untangled! In this episode, Heather Tingle tackles a common challenge faced by many: how to declutter when your home is already full to the brim. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff in your space and don't have the space to declutter and group items together, then this episode is for you.

Takeaways

• Declutter the items that are within reach and being used frequently to create little pockets of space.
• Use temporary storage solutions, such as plastic boxes, to temporarily house items while decluttering.
• Zoning in full areas by moving one item at a time to its designated place can help in the decluttering process.

• Even in a full home, decluttering is still possible with patience and strategic organisation.
