🥵 IT’S TOO HOT TO DECLUTTER!
So don’t. 😂
I’ve had three people contact me in the last 24 hours in tears, feeling completely overwhelmed because they’ve tried to take on big organising projects in this heat.
So I’m sharing what I said to them:
“STOP. Slow everything down”.
Heatwaves are not for emptying wardrobes onto the bed, pulling everything out of cupboards, or starting “life reset” projects because you’re off work.
Instead, think of this as a maintenance time, not a transformation time.
Focus on the little wins 💫
☀️ Recycling incoming post
☀️ Emptying suitcases after holidays & putting them back where they live
☀️ Clearing the kitchen island of the end of school stuff - sentimental / recycle / bin
☀️ Unsubscribing from emails you don’t want to receive as soon as they come in
☀️ Cancelling Amazon subscriptions for items you have a draw full of & no longer use
☀️ Cancelling Gym memberships you joined in January & well …
☀️ Binning all the free stuff from your holiday
That is enough. Honestly.
A good rule in a heatwave is simple:
👉 More leaves your home than comes in each day
That’s it.
That’s the win.
Not empty wardrobes.
Not “I’ll just sort the whole house while it’s sunny and I’m on holiday from work”
And definitely not ringing me in tears because you’ve tipped your entire life onto the bedroom floor - please let’s not do that 💚
This is your reminder that:
✨ Small is powerful
✨ Maintenance is productive
✨ Rest is part of organisation
So if you’re feeling the urge to “do a big clear out” pause.
Pick a drawer instead. Or a handbag. Or just your keys and receipts.
And then go and sit in a shady spot☀️
