I've been doing some decluttering in my own house due to us doing a bedroom renovation and it really made me realise how much we tend to ignore our up high and down low storage spaces in our homes. I hadn't FULLY been through what was up the top of my wardrobe for about 2 years, and although under my bed had been gone through weeks earlier, it did make me think that we often ignore the up high or down low spaces in our home.

Up High places you might like to declutter include attics, loft, top of the wardrobe, pantry or high garage storage. Sometimes it's just too hard to go through them as you need a ladder and a second person to help you. So set aside some time to pull it all down and ask yourself "When did I last need this" and "Do I have a plan to use this in the future" and declutter to your hearts content.

Low Down places you might like to declutter are places like basements, under beds, very bottom and hard to reach kitchen cupboards. Pull everything out and ask the same questions before creating a storage system that works for the space and putting essential items back.

Boy I love BIN NIGHT! It's a weekly (or regular at least) opportunity to declutter rubbish from around the house. However your rubbish is removed, whether it's a communal apartment bins, curbside pickup or tip drop off, what a gift it is!! I encourage you to take full advantage of your rubbish removal - walk around your house with a rubbish bag and collect as much rubbish as you can. Aim to full the rubbish bins before each pick up - whatever you can remove from your house is automatic decluttering.

And in this episode I explore the idea of having rubbish bins located in many places throughout your house - in your home office, in the bathroom and even in the lounge room if you need. If there are places where rubbish tends to accumulate in your home, pop a rubbish bin in that space and reduce the clutter of displaced rubbish.
