Summary

In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, host Heather Tingle discusses the concept of doom boxes and bags, which are temporary storage solutions for clutter. She explains how these can help reduce overwhelm, provide a low-pressure starting point for decluttering, and serve as a strategy for those with neurodivergent brains. However, she also emphasises the importance of not letting these become permanent solutions and the need for a structured plan to address the contents of the doom bags over time.
