Summary

In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle shares her personal experiences with the stress of packing and unpacking for travel. She emphasises the importance of having a home for everything, which simplifies the packing process significantly, however while you're decluttering thats not always possible, so she shares one mistake people often make when it comes to travel items. Heather challenges the common practice of maintaining separate travel-specific items and encourages listeners to use everyday items for travel to reduce stress and clutter. By integrating travel items into daily use, packing becomes quicker and more efficient, leading to a more organised and less chaotic home environment.
