076: Declutter your Home with the Shoebox Method

Like a slow + steady approach to decluttering? Me too. The Shoebox Method is a stress-free way to minimize that - when done right! - will keep your home tidied for good. Here's a step by step guide for you to follow as you seek to declutter once and for all.

Do you desire to declutter your home but find yourself worried about making an even *bigger* mess?

I hear that.

If a slow + steady approach to, well, EVERYthing appeals to you, you’ll love the Shoebox Method’s incremental take on minimalism.

My guest this week is Dionne Myhre. She’s a lifelong lover of organization; she’s a blogger who helps women find peace in tidied simplicity, too. She’s here to outline her Shoebox Method so that you, too, can declutter your home in a way that’s attainable for the organizationally-minded, the organizationally-challenged + everyone in between.

Enjoy!

The "Away" Illusion

Ever wonder where your bags of donated clothes actually end up?

Most of us treat dropping off a bag at a donation bin like a magic trick. We hand it over, walk away, and assume it finds a good home.

But very often, away is Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, where 15 million secondhand garments arrive every single week.

On today’s show, contemporary artist Emmanuel “DoTT” Kunfaa pulls back the curtain on the dark side of donating and highlights they ways in which the illusion of charity is feeding waste colonialism.

 

Here's a preview:
