The difference between worth and value

30/8/2018

Since we are looking at linguistics, here is another pair of words that have ended up being used in ways that make them pretty much interchangeable, especially when it comes to advertising.

The thing is, though: they have distinctly different meanings, and mixing them up in your mind is a sure-fire way to make you doubt any decisions you might be ready to make when it comes to decluttering!

The difference between 'I want' and 'I would like'

23/8/2018

This is a bit of an excursion into linguistics, and I hope you’ll find some solace in the knowledge that it will lead to decluttering about halfway into this blog. Maybe you are intrigued by this change in pace, though. Good for you!

Why bring this discussion up in a decluttering blog? Well, it’s an important consideration when it comes to making decisions on adding to what you own. A consideration that I would think of as being much more difficult to make than the distinction between ‘I need’ or ‘I want’…

In all likelihood you have a home of some sorts: it doesn’t matter if you own a sprawling mansion, if you live in a rental flat, or if you are couch-surfing with a friend for the duration. Wherever you put down your head is where your home is, right now.

A home serves a lot of purposes, and in my work I meet people living in all manner of situations. In the majority of cases, my intervention in based on the notions of ‘too much’, ‘overwhelmed’, ‘disorganised’ and ‘time running out’. But is that all there is to decluttering?
