So what room will you declutter next?

Is this course good for me if I need to do my own home in a short period of time?

Yes! These are the same methods used on TV's hoarders where we do clean-outs in 4 days. We have a large drew, but the process is the same...katherine-lawrence.teachable.com/p/tackle-the-hoard

My style is guerilla warfare, I just get rid of things piecemeal when no one's looking 7:06

Disappointed. These tips are for your TV show and business. The 'tips' are common sense. Thanks anyway. I hope these tips help someone else that needs to promote a TV show episode or get my business started or enroll in a class

I hope you find what you are looking for! I train aspiring organizers in hopes there will be more resources for those who need assistance.

Hello good video thanks. 🪻🌾🪻 What is the difference between "traditional methods" and other methods used in certain extreme cases? And - What is a checklist for signs to look out for whether someone is psychologically ready to declutter? Is it a case of motivating and encouraging people as you go along, or do they have to be in the right headspace before starting?

[@KatherineLawrenceCPO]

Traditional methods include looking at each object and making a decision before moving on to the next item. When dealing with extreme clutter one can often get overwhelmed before finishing a room. Mindset is very important!! Start with *anything* that can be removed without too much stress and then move to another category . If no progress can be made without extreme stress, the person is not ready. Stress signs for me are mental confusion, anger, defensiveness, walking away, and an inability to communicate.

@@KatherineLawrenceCPO thanks. Some of the signs you describe sound a bit like 'emotional dysregulation' which is a high stress state! Good to know 🙏 Ps. another form of emotional dysregulation can be the 'freeze' or shutdown state so that might be one that goes under the radar but good to look out for - especially for new professionals if they think someone is just 'a bit quiet', but actually in emotional dysregulation.
