Today we decided to not focus on giving tips, but to discuss the conversation clients have or need to have with family and friends about the clutter in their lives and also about engaging a professional organiser to help them out.Often clients know they want to declutter and organise, but telling their their family seems to be a massive hurdle; as they are embarrassed to admit they need help for something that many believe they should be able to do themselves or due to the expense of hiring an organiserIn this podcast, I discuss with Chirag the various situations which have arisen due to the client not talking to their family before engaging me to help them. We also discuss how to have the conversation and to get all members of your family on board with the decluttering and organising process.To listen to my podcast, produced by Amaeya Creative, click on the play button.We would love it if you would leave your review of the DeCluttr Me podcast channel on your favourite player.

I often have friends and clients show me with glee the icon on their email box with the number of unread emails. It's like a badge of honour having thousands of unopened emails. But for some, it becomes overwhelming. As the emails pile up, the less desire they have to open their inbox and check their emails. This can result in them missing important correspondence. To help our listeners who are feeling overwhelmed with their inbox, I wanted to give some tips on how to tackle their emails in a systematic, easy way. In this new podcast we discuss:* Categorising emails that come into your inbox;* Deleting emails in bulk;* How to unsubscribe emails easily;* Dealing with audited correspondence;* How to organise your emails moving forward.

Ramadan Kareem to you all! Although there are many hours of fasting, there is a huge focus on cooking and eating with family and friends.

One of my favourite areas to organise are newly built walk-in closets. I love it so much that my Instagram is mostly filled with walk-in closets which have been organised. As fabulous as walk-in closets are, they are often created by designers and the client with some flaws. There are parts of the space that have not been considered, which then causes problems when putting the clothes and accessories into the space. To help to create a fabulous walk-in closet, I am giving tips in my new podcast on what to consider when designing the closet. In this new episode we talk about* Decluttering your clothes before you start the design process. * Organising your clothes and accessories.* Flaws to avoid designing the walk-in closet.* Sections to consider within the closet space.

In this week's episode, we discuss a topic that can be very dry for some but is vital you deal with - important documents. When referring to important documents, I am talking about school certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, share certificates, title deeds for properties, Will and guardianship documents, financial documents including for your mortgage, pension and savings, passport and residency documents, pet documents, etc. In this new podcast we discuss:* The various types of important documents. * How to separate the important documents from other documents in your life. * How to organise them as hard copy and digitally. * Storing important documents.We would love it if you would leave your review of the DeCluttr Me podcast in your favourite player.

In this week's episode, I wanted to discuss a hot, fiery topic: how to get your spouse on board with decluttering. Often a client will tell me that their spouse is the reason for the clutter. They walk in the door every day and throw items around randomly; or they hoard items and don't want to let go of their clothes, paperwork or other items. This behaviour causes frustration and often acrimony in the house, but asking a spouse to declutter can lead to you walking into a brick wall. Today's podcast discusses the cluttering spouse and is perfect for you if you are walking into a brick wall currently with your other half. In this new podcast we discuss:* The issues that occur when asking spouses to clear their clutter.* How to convince your spouse to start the declutter process. * Decluttering in your home with and without your spouse. * The timeframe to get your spouse to declutter.

This week saw the loss of the genius designer Karl Largerfield who designed for Chanel, Fendi and of course his own label. Whilst he had his flaws, there was no mistaking his talent to create pieces which were adored and bought by many around the world (including myself). In honour of his legacy, I thought it would be apt to talk about how to look after our designer items in this week's podcast. A few of us have been fortunate to be able to buy or receive designer clothes, shoes or accessories over the years. Whilst we appreciate the quality, craftsmanship and work that is involved in creating these items of clothing often, I find whilst working with clients, that the items are not looked after to ensure they retain their luxurious finish for many years (this can also apply for your high street items as well). In this week's podcast, Chirag and I will discuss:a. The best way to wash your clothes,b. The best hangers to use for your clothes. c. Looking after your leather items including your bags and shoes. d. Looking after your handbags (this may be my favourite topic). e. Protecting the shape of your shoes f. What items you should fold and how to fold. Organising clothes and accessories is the favourite part of my job (and especially designer items); if you have clothing items which you need help organising and tips on how to look after them, contact me by completing the form [here](http://www.decluttrme.com/contact).If you have any suggestions for future episodes let us know at [www.decluttrme.com/contact](http://www.decluttrme.com/contact).Want to follow Decluttr Me on social media?
