Be Uncluttered

You may or may not have heard of hygge before - a Danish phenomena (not the best word but it's not just a word, it's a feeling, a way of doing things) that embodies warm, cozy, homey, nostalgic comfort. 

So this week Bec and Tara discuss hygge - what it means, why you might like it and how you might inject some of it into your own life.

There are three things that most (all?) uncluttered homes have. So if you're cluttered, and you don't have these, maybe it might help? It's worth a shot!

Also, for the non-Australian listeners, here is another opportunity to laugh at our accents while we talk about "thongs" and pronounce "toilet" like a true Aussie! (you'll want to go back and re-listen to all the old episodes just to hear Tara say &#...

We all have them - photos! And they can be a real space-hog and stress when they aren't organised. 

So this week Bec has bailed up the delightful Chantal Imbach from Photos In Order and the DIY Photo Organising podcast to help us all out with our printed photos - the ones stashed in places all over the house and taking up space in giant albums, or at your parent's place just waiting for you to inherit them!

And don't desp...

This week we have a chat about the new Netflix series "Get Organized with The Home Edit". 

We give you the insiders' view on this show and what those inside the industry think about it (and not just us - other POs across the world have had lots to say about it too!). 

Tara surprised herself with her opinion, and Bec wasn't surprised by her opinion very much at all (haha!).  

Welcome to our 100th episode! We're so happy to have shared this journey with you over the last couple of years.

This week it's a mixed back of all sorts of topics, from some of Bec & Tara's household organising hacks to questions from our valued community.

Thanks for listening, lovely humans, we really appreciate it. 

This week we explore the difference between routines and rhythms, and how each of them work.  Some people need routine, others prefer rhythm. Some, like Bec, NEED routine but find it a hard method to stick to.

There are benefits to each, and you'll learn how and when each of them might be helpful for you.

We are so excited about this episode! Tara has been a raving fan of Greg McKeown for a long time now and she has also been nagging Bec to do a review episode of his book "Essentialism" for ages, too.

She gave up on Bec and went one better and invited Greg himself on as a guest, nearly dying of excitement when he said yes.

If you haven't read Greg's book yet, never fear, this interview will teach you a lot about Esse...

This week we have a sponsored guest - Emma Mason from The Source Bulk Foods (Dickson ACT and Belconnen ACT).

Emma has quite a lot to share with us - after downsizing from a 1,000 acre property to a 100 sqm apartment, she has plenty to teach us about a massive downsize. Emma is also an aspiring zero-waster so has some great advice for those of us wishing to know more about a zero waste lifestyle (and how you don't have to win an ...

Most households have some gardening gear in them. From those of us that have aaaall of it, to those that just have a watering can and an old bottle of fertiliser under the sink somewhere that they aren't sure how it got there, we all need to figure out how to declutter and organise it so that we can find it when we need it!

If you're anything like Bec and Tara, you're going to be blushing and nodding throughout this whole episode!

This week we chat about the dos and don'ts of conversation and how to improve your conversations and listening. it's okay, we're terrible at it ourselves so no judgement here if you identify!!

This week Bec and Tara explore the baggage we bring with us from relationship to relationship - why we do it and how we might recognise it and make changes if it's unhelpful.
