Hey, I know you’re busy so this isn’t going to be a long winded blog post about digital clutter. Let’s do an e-clutter declutter in 3 simple steps instead Step 1. Decided. Are you going to delete text messages, apps, contacts, emails or other things – like files or photos Step 2. Set a timer for 10 – 15 minutes
Are you familiar with the feeling of being constantly busy. Picking up, tidying up, on your feet, organising everything only to turn around and it seem as though you have done nothing at all? Yeah, me too. I call this flitting. When you flit about, you are exerting energy but are not actually being productive.
At ReclaimYou, we make personalised tidy tubs. These have the child's name on them. This gives the child a sense of importance and empowerment – this is my special tidy tub and it helps me do a good job of tidying up my toys. It is a tool we use daily in our home.

I often read blogs and post that either inquire or state that the best place for one to start their decluttering journey, is in the junk drawer. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!? Cue the stress, anxiety and feelings of absolute overwhelm! FACT: This is a dumb place to start.
