There are a lot of reasons why decluttering makes sense right now. Not only have we accumulated more over the Christmas period, but we’re all feeling naturally reflective about what we already own. Whether you’re rethinking your personal style or simply want to tap into the new year, new slate energy, taking stock of your surroundings with a good old declutter is a great way to do so.

It’s also good distraction: one that’ll yank you right out of that scary news feed and knee-deep into the mottled shoe collection lurking at the back of your wardrobe. What’s more, it’s physical but without being too taxing. When decluttering, you can work with your hands (something that relieves stress and helps solve problems) while listening to a gripping podcast or blaring out your favourite Beyoncé power anthems at the same time.
