What’s the difference between decluttering and organizing?
You might be wondering: what’s the difference between decluttering and organizing?
Decluttering is one step of any organizing project. As professional organizers, our goal is to help create s p a c e in our clients’ homes. Our five step process is easy to remember if you think of the acronym “SPACE”.
S = sort
P = purge
A = assign remaining contents a home and a…
C = container
E = enjoy + evaluate
After we’ve sorted everything into broad categories, we purge or declutter. I often explain to potential clients that the decluttering or purging portion can be the hardest step in the process, thus the reason to hire decluttering help.
Nearly anyone can learn how to group “like” or similar items together (step 1). And just about anyone can figure out one ideal home for each grouping of items (step 3). But many people will get stuck when determining what to declutter or get rid of (step 2). That’s where we come in.
Why hire help to declutter your home?
Decluttering your home can be an emotional process. Why? Because many of our belongings are tied to a particular time, event, or person in your life. It might feel hard to part with certain belongings because you worry if you let it go, you’ll lose that memory, person, or time in your life. But it’s important to remember that while physical belongings may stimulate memories, your memories are not lost when you declutter the physical item.
It can be immensely valuable to get help when decluttering your home. A neutral party can help you better understand your relationship to your belongings by asking the right questions. And ultimately, help you figure out what to keep and what to part with.

Decluttering Rules to Live By
Without getting into the specifics of what to declutter in each room (more on that in a future post), here are some decluttering rules I live by.
You have my full permission to let go of:
- Things that don’t make you feel your best
- Clothes and shoes that don’t fit
- Anything in your wardrobe with stains or holes
- Items that no longer align with your current lifestyle or passions
- Gifts you received that you don’t even like
- Any guilt you might be holding on to for letting go of said gifts^
- A scarcity mindset that may be preventing you from letting go of physical items because you “might need them one day”
