Why Decluttering Feels Hard - And why that makes perfect sense

from The Organised Method · host Gemma Bray

Have you ever stood in front of a pile of stuff, fully intending to declutter, and just... froze? You're not alone. And it's not because you're lazy or disorganised or incapable.In this episode, Gemma gets into the real reason decluttering feels so hard ... and it's not about the stuff. It's about what the stuff represents. Identity. Guilt. Grief. Aspiration. Safety. When you understand the emotional layer underneath your clutter, the whole thing starts to make sense.She also talks about why the standard advice (yes, the spark joy thing) doesn't work for most real people and what actually does.If you've been putting off a declutter because it always ends in overwhelm, this one is for you.The TOM 5-day guided declutter challenge is live in the app now. Gemma built it specifically around everything she covers in this episode. Find out more at theorganisedmethod.com.
