The One-Year Rule Is Rubbish (Here’s Why)

The one-year rule when decluttering is total rubbish, in this episode I'll explain why and also what to do instead with sentimental items.

You’ve probably heard it: “If you haven’t used it in a year, toss it.” 

But what if that item holds deep sentimental value? Or you simply love it—even if you don't use it (often)?

In this episode, I’m busting the 5th myth - the one-year rule and show you a more mindful, personalized approach for sentimental items. I also share how different personality types—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—relate to sentimental stuff, and how you can honour what matters to you without drowning in clutter.

Tune in and take the pressure off!
