🏡 Pro Tip Tuesday: Make the most of your space

Feeling short of storage? Before adding more cupboards or buying more furniture, take a fresh look at the space you already have. There may be some overlooked opportunities!

A few ideas to get you thinking:

⬆️ Think vertically. Floating shelves, built-in shelving and attractive storage boxes on top of wardrobes can make use of otherwise wasted space.

🚪 Make use of hidden spaces. Think under beds, behind doors and under the stairs. Compact fabric boxes are great for storing seasonal clothes and occasion wear.

🪑 Choose furniture that works harder. Ottomans, storage footstools, beds with built-in drawers and coffee tables with storage can serve more than one purpose.

💡 Free up surfaces. Wall-mounted lights, ceiling lights and under-counter lighting can reduce the need for table and floor lamps.

👗 Make your wardrobe work harder. Slim velvet hangers take up less room, while hooks on the back of wardrobe doors are handy for jewellery, belts and scarves.

And one final thought: good organisation isn't just about finding more storage. Group similar items together in baskets or boxes, keep an eye on what you have and avoid cupboards becoming overfilled.

The aim is to make your space work better for the way you live!

8 Weeks to Go

✨ 8 Weeks to a Better Organised Christmas – Let’s Get Started! ✨

The early weeks are all about planning ahead and setting yourself up for a smoother December. A little preparation now will save you time, stress, and last-minute dashes later on. In the first of a weekly series, here are 3 simple steps to kick things off:

1. Get your diary organised 📅

Book travel and accommodation, confirm dates for visitors, and organise festive outings like markets, pantos, and get-togethers.

2. Make your lists 🎁✍️

Create a gift list, Christmas card list and budget.

3. Start your early shopping 🛒🕯️

Pick up cards, stamps, and festive essentials like candles. Sign up to a cashback site before shopping online and start browsing for gifts (Black Friday deals are worth waiting for!).

💜 Pro Tip Tuesday: Little and often

Struggling to find time to declutter? Try a little and often approach!

✨ Sort your make-up while the bath is running.
✨ Tackle the cutlery drawer while the kettle boils.
✨ Clear some paperwork while you're on hold on the phone.

Set a timer for 10–15 minutes, or put the radio on and commit to three songs' worth of decluttering. 🎶

You might be surprised by how much you can achieve in a short space of time.

It's much more realistic and sustainable than waiting for a whole free weekend to tackle everything – and those little wins soon add up!

What could you declutter in just 10 minutes today?

📦 Pro Tip Tuesday: Is it worth your time to sell it?

With Vinted changing its rules from 8 October, it’s a good opportunity to think about whether selling your decluttered items online is really worth your precious time.

Before listing, consider the potential return versus the time involved. Preparing, photographing and listing an item, dealing with offers and enquiries, packaging it and posting it can easily add up. If all of that takes an hour, what would you consider a worthwhile hourly rate?

A few ways to make selling work harder for you:

👕 Bundle lower-value items – e.g. several T-shirts in the same age/size sold together.

💷 Check similar listings to gauge a realistic selling price.

👗 Focus on items likely to give you a better return – higher-end pieces, new items with tags, or occasion wear such as wedding outfits and prom dresses.

And remember: your time has value too. Sometimes donating an item and getting it out of your home quickly is the better return.

OHIO stands for Only Handle It Once – a simple principle I use to stop emails and messages hanging around and creating mental clutter.

When I open an email, WhatsApp or Messenger message, I try to make a decision about it there and then:

🗑️ Delete it if I don't need it.
📁 Archive or file it if I want to keep it but no action is needed.
✅ Action it straight away if it's quick, then file it.
📅 Capture the action elsewhere if it needs to be done later – either on my printed agenda for the day or in my calendar for a future date – then file the message.

For me, the key is getting it out of my inbox once I've decided what needs to happen. I don't use flags, filters or colour coding – I prefer to keep things as simple as possible.

Of course, your system might look completely different. The important thing is having a trusted way to capture anything that still needs your attention, so you don't have to keep reopening the same message to remind yourself.

Only Handle It Once: decide, capture, move on!

✨ Weekly Round-Up ✨

A busy week of clearing space, learning and making progress!

🏡 I helped an elderly client tackle a backlog of cards, catalogues, mail, documents and magazines, creating much-needed space in her living room for entertaining family and guests.

💻 I hosted APDO’s Introduction to Digital Organising course. It was a pleasure to spend time with fellow organisers who are exploring ways to expand their services and support people with their digital challenges.

♻️ And I finished the working week in an attic! My new client has lived in her home for more than three decades, so there was plenty to work through. We gathered an impressive 34 bags of items for charity, recycling and disposal — a very productive start to the project!

Now I’m looking forward to a long weekend, with my daughter returning from a school trip and her birthday to celebrate. 🎂

Never a dull moment!

With two kids going on school trips this month, packing has been front of mind here!

Whether it is a mini-break, a work trip or a big family holiday, it's worth getting in gear well in advance of setting off. This can save rush, hassle and stress nearer the time.

Write or download a packing checklist to work from, keeping a copy to add to/refer to for future getaways.

I keep a generic one and simply print off a fresh copy to work from in advance of going away. You can download a copy for FREE here>>>https://betterorganised.uk/freebies

Earlier this week, I invited you to notice the flow of things in and out of your home as part of National Organising Week’s focus on overconsumption.

So, now that a few days have passed, I thought I’d check in…

What have you noticed?

Perhaps you've become more aware of how often things are coming into your home – a few online orders, some new clothes, things for the children, household bits and pieces…

And perhaps you've also noticed things leaving. A bag of donations, something sold on Vinted, items passed on to family or friends, or simply a few things making their way out of the house that you no longer need.

Or maybe you've realised that not much is leaving at all.

There’s no right or wrong answer, and this wasn’t about keeping count or trying to achieve a perfect balance.

It was simply about becoming a little more aware of the flow.

Because sometimes, once we start noticing, we see things differently.

Maybe you’ve paused before making a purchase and thought, “Do I really need this, and where will it live?”

Or perhaps you've looked around your home and spotted something that has been taking up space despite no longer being useful to you.

Even if nothing has actually left your home this week, noticing that is useful information too.

So, how has the balance looked in your home this week?

I’d love to hear what you’ve observed. Head to the comments and let me know :)

What are the consequences of overconsumption on our lives?

As part of National Organising Week, my APDO colleague Suz has written a lovely blog post to look at what overconsumption is costing us. I particularly like 'our brains are wired to process our surroundings, and when our homes are overwhelming, our nervous systems feel it'.

Simply follow the link in the comments to see the full article (3 minute read).
