by Tilo Flache of ClutterMeister

We often consider decluttering in terms of removing the superfluous from our surroundings. Whatever reasons you come up with to keep yourself from shedding some of that load, none of them are easy to overcome. So why don’t you simply look at the reasons that make you bring things in and stop that flow at the source rather than dealing with the consequences?

“Promise Broken. Moving On.” explores the link between advertising, consumerism and the accumulation of things we fill our homes with. It holds up a mirror and explains how exactly this affects YOU. Can you resist temptation?

by Tilo Flache of ClutterMeister

Many of us regularly and frequently accumulate new stuff in our lives and our minds, with all of it taking much effort to tidy, organise and manage on a day-to-day basis. With each new activity or phase of life we end up adding to our collection of things. More often than not, we focus on the future when adjusting to something new, but aren’t we forgetting something?

“Clutter Tides” highlights opportunities to align your possessions with your current needs and learn to recognise early on when the time is right to let go of things that serve you no more.
