Declutter Your Home and Mind

It explains why clutter affects us and why letting go is hard, with a “What the evidence says” section, then gives you a five-box method and a four-week plan. Planners and checklists cover the kitchen, living room and hallway, bedrooms and wardrobes, children’s rooms, the bathroom and old medicines, paperwork and digital clutter, and the loft, garage, shed and car.

A full chapter shows where things can go in Fife: the four bins, the recycling centres, free bulky uplifts, free furniture collections, charity shops and Gift Aid, and selling online safely.

There are also chapters on sentimental things, bereavement, downsizing and shared homes, clearing mental clutter with a brain dump, habits and a 30-day challenge, and when clutter may be more than clutter, with helplines checked on official sites.
