The Declutter Club Podcast with Dana LaRieal Morales

This is a crossover event with The Organized Holistically Podcast because we are talking about hidden types of clutter which can effect your time and bottomline.  We also identify how they are costing you money and can potentially be a security risk as well.

As you know, the decluttering process is one of the hardest parts of your organizing journey and it is the one stage of organizing that many people try to skip and it is why many of your organizing efforts are failing.  In this episode, we talk about areas in your social media accounts that can be accumulating clutter.  We will also talk about how this clutter can be negatively impacting you, your business and your time.

Many times when we are embarking on an organizing journey we get excited by the possibilities of change and progress, but what happens when those around you don't have that same level of excitement?  In this episode, we talk about different declutter levels and how to navigate the rollercoaster of individual feelings in an environment without squashing your forward momentum and progress.

In today's episode, we talk about addictive actions and how they are keeping you from your goals.  Instead, learn how to turn those addictive habits into intentional action so you can move closer to having the business, home and personal life that you always wanted.  I want to thank Organized Academy member Brittney of Butterfye Evolution for inspiring this episode topic.

In this episode, we talk about the different declutter levels. We talk about identifying and accepting where yours is and how to keep from comparing yourselves to others.  I do this by telling you a personal story about my own experience and the aha moment that came from it. I hope you find value in this episode and all others posted in this podcast. 

In today's episode, I'm answering one of your submitted questions regarding knowing when and where to start with decluttering.  I know sometimes you can look at a space and just get overwhelmed with the idea of starting, and I don't want that to discourage or stop you from starting your journey...so let's talk about it.  

In this short episode, I address a common issue many of you are facing as you go through the decluttering process.  You are finding the need to shift things around or identify homes for things that previously didn't have homes.  Listen carefully to this short episode to help you as you continue on your decluttering journey.  The key is to not try to create permanent systems now, but realize this is a temporary state.  System development comes later in the organizational process and there are many factors that come into play to do it right.  I hope you find this episode helpful.

I love it when you learn new things while on the decluttering journey and today's episode is centered around a fabulous concept I learned during my journey years ago.  I am going to share with you what a capsule wardrobe concept is about.  It really changed the way I thought about and how I purchased my clothes, so definitely check out this episode to learn for yourself.

This episode addresses the questions I receive from those of you who are overweight and/or pregnant.  You know you can't fit in things right now, but you have goals to get back into your clothes.  There actually is a process you should follow if you are working to declutter your closet while under these restrictions and I talk all about them in this episode.

Decluttering and organizing with and for children can be a difficult endeavor. Between the tears and the separation anxiety, there may be times that you feel all the “rules” should be thrown out the window. In this episode, I give you some techniques you can use to help you as you tackle the space of your kids. Oh and just FYI, if you feel you have these issues with adults too, the techniques are transferrable. You're welcome! LOL

Listen, decluttering is not a spectator sport and it is not something you can do unilaterally by yourself unless you live alone.  It is a process that needs to involve all those who use the space, which can be extremely challenging.  In this episode, I talk to you about the major pitfalls of trying to declutter by yourself without input from your family or those who use the space.

In this episode, I teach you how to use real-life situations to help you determine what you need to keep and what you need to let go of.  I then show you how to apply this using your sheet category.  Make sure you have completed the DCP 2 episode so you have your HCRs or Home Capacity Rules.  These will help you declutter your sheets in a very practical way.

In the last episode, I shared with you how to determine what your Home Capacity Rules or HCRs are for your household.  Well, now it's time to put them into action to help you declutter. In this episode, we will use the HCRs you identified and help you declutter your towels.  

I can't wait for our podcast to air on January 1, 2022, just in time for Get Organized Month!  A few steps that will help you hit the ground running:
