Summary

In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle discusses the importance of taking immediate action in decluttering and organising your space. She shares cautionary tales from her clients who waited for the perfect moment to put items in their place, leading to unnecessary stress and clutter. Heather emphasises that 'done is better than perfect' and encourages listeners to enjoy their items now rather than waiting for ideal circumstances.
