9/20/2023 0 Comments Declutter home helpers![]() Lesley: There's a couple of things that I want to talk about. Let me get an understanding of why this person is holding onto this. But what they completely forget to ask is, You the one who owns the stuff, how do you feel about it? Because they think the practical help is in the, I'm going to put something in the bin bag instead of the, wow. I'm going to help, and I'm going to help by getting a bin bag and throwing stuff in the bin that I think are rubbish. ![]() But for somebody who offers their help, it's like, well, let's just get rid of the stuff. A lot of people who have a lot of stuff have a connection to that stuff, and we always bang on about, it's not about the stuff, it's about the emotions. So first things first, we're going to talk about some of the emotions related to stuff and why having somebody else involved in the decluttering process might not be such a great thing. And so we wanted to just give you those practical hints and tips. We can make sure that those kind of things don't go wrong, but a professional organise having, but having a professional organiser in your home who's not. Lesley: Yeah, I mean, it is easy for us to say, to sit here as professional organisers who, who we can provide all of the things that we're going to talk about today, all of the things that might go wrong. You know, indeed, if you need help, but also if you want to give help to somebody, what are the things that take into consideration? So we thought we really need to talk about that. Go wrong, can't they? And they can escalate and in the worst case scenario, you'd, you'd lose a friend or a family member over these kind of things because it can really go wrong. And then there's not been really put any boundaries up and then things can kind of. That it's with the best intentions, but there's sometimes a lack of communication, a lack of trust, a little bit, a lack of, oh, well, we'll see how it goes. Ingrid: You know, the thing is, Lesley, when people help other people or when you accept help, it's all really well-meaning, isn't it? It's like with the, yes, absolutely. And so it will give you, either way, wherever you are, it will give you some practical hints and tips about the kinds of things that you need to think about when you are offering help or when you are offered help. And there will also be, listen, people listening to this podcast who have got someone in their family, someone in their friends that they'd love to help. So somebody has come in and helped you in the past. Now, it's interesting because this is going to be relevant to you if you are the person who's been on the receiving end of help. ![]() And we wanna talk a little bit about that. You thought that your stuff wasn't being valued properly and not looked after and stuff was going into bin bag's left, right, and center, and you didn't know what was going on. Sometimes it's something where you felt completely out of control. Now, it's fair to say that people who call us in are still struggling with their clutter, and there will be a whole lot of people who had a clutter problem and no longer do because that person did an amazing job. Most of the time the damage that has been done by people coming in and helping other people. And in our time as professional organisers, we have seen sometimes. Because I bet, I'm sure most of you know, but we've both been professional organisers where we work one-to-one with clients, and we've done that for 12 years. We have history with this kind of stuff, don't we? Lesley: Now today's a very serious podcast, isn't it Ingrid? Actually, because we have a little bit of a. In today's podcast, we're going to talk about why Sometimes it's the best thing in the world, but often it leaves you feeling out of control and bereft. ![]() Offer to help you with your decluttering project. Ingrid: Have you ever been in a position where someone has.
