Tackling the Stationery Clutter (#285)

Shelina Jokhiya - DeCluttr Me
About this episode

In this episode of "Get Organised with Decluttr Me," Shelina takes on a common clutter hotspot: stationery ✏️📒. From pens and notebooks to paperclips and sticky notes, stationery items can quickly become overwhelming 📚✂️. Join Shelina as she guides you through the process of identifying clutter, sorting and categorizing your supplies 🗂️, and making decisions about what to keep and what to let go 🗑️. Plus, she shares tips for organizing your remaining stationery to create a tidy and functional collection 📎🗄️. Tune in for practical advice, listener stories, and a few laughs along the way.

Happy decluttering! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Originally from the UK, Shelina has lived in Dubai for over 18 years, where she founded her home and office organising company ⁠DeCluttr Me⁠.

Previously a solicitor, Shelina knew her heart was elsewhere. She never gave up on her dream of becoming a professional organiser and decided to take the leap, launching DeCluttr Me in 2013, the region’s first licenced, professional organising service. Shortly after, Shelina launched her highly successful ⁠DeCluttr Me podcast⁠, now one of the top 20% of podcasts worldwide. In 2022, the total downloads increased to 41,800 from 29,600 in 2021. Her first book “Can You Find it in Five Seconds?” was a natural next step on her mission to helping people lead more relaxed, motivated, and productive lives – free of clutter!

2023 marks a decade in business for Shelina and she’s seen demand for decluttering increase significantly. Plus, she’s realised how the service goes beyond simply organising for many people. Having a large amount of clutter can also be a sign of mental health issues or someone struggling with their emotional well-being. Shelina helps many clients who are going through a difficult period, such as divorce and bereavement; often, dealing with an accumulation of possessions is one of the first steps they take on the journey to rebuilding their life.
