500: Tempted to Hire a Junk Removal Service?
Listen to this Podcast first!
Kathi and Roger Lipp are here, up before the sun, with some real talk about whether or not you need a junk removal service. Have you ever thought your clutter problems would all be solved if you could just point at the clutter and someone would take it away? That’s a great solution in some situations, but most of the time, removing the clutter is not the real problem – it’s making decisions about the clutter. Kathi and Roger have some great tips for getting through the clutter including:
- Give yourself a hard deadline – Designate a junk/recycling/charity dropoff day
- Double up your errands – If you know you’re going out tomorrow, load up your car with items to donate today
- “Body-Doubling” – Have someone sit with you, even if it’s just on the phone, as you declutter. If no one is available, join us every Wednesday at 11:00am (PT) in the Clutter Free Academy FaceBook group for a 15 min declutter. We’d love to be your body double!
THE CLUTTER-FREE HOME
When it comes to your home, peace is possible…
Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home.
Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality. Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.
