When you hear about decluttering and organising, it’s often on the subject of getting more organised and letting go of things, and that is – of course – a huge part of the conversation. However, we rarely hear anyone speak about what their understanding of “organised” actually is.

At which point does disorganisation become cluttered? A similar question applies to organisation: when does an organised space or schedule or life become a disorganised one?

Do you often feel as if time is running away from you? The day is over and a long list of things to do has only shortened by a small margin? When you take a look at your to do list you often end up realising that a lot of the items remain unchecked, making you feel like you haven’t achieved anything on that day?

Why is that?

Most of us are under the impression that we need things to remind us of whatever adventures and experiences we have been through. Besides, all of us have that rather annoying tendency to collect things and find more of the same.

What does this add up to? A growing collection of memorabilia, of course.
