Meet a Declutterer

Jenn Jordan, Declutterer from Leeds

My name is Jenn Jordan.  I am a Professional Organiser and Declutterer living in Leeds.   I previously worked in various industries as a PA/Executive Assistant and was very good at getting other people organised but at home I was a mess.  

 I was in a job that I didn’t enjoy. I was thoroughly unhappy and spending money to try and cheer myself up.  My house was much like my mind, cluttered and in need of an overhaul.  I read lots of self help books and little did I know that Marie Kondo was about to change my life.  It resonated with me like it has for so many other people.  As each item went into the keep, recycle or sell pile I started to feel a weight lift. Going through each room, draw, paperwork and the wardrobe, I felt like I could see everything much clearer, the stuff had been holding me back and distracting me.  

 Years later it is second nature to me for everything to have a home and to be mindful of what I let in.  I know more than anyone that this does not come naturally to people.  Teaching other people the techniques has now become my business.  I know the difference that this made to my life and am excited to share that with others. 

 My methods are very different to the ones I first came across in Kondo’s book.  I aim for the simple methods and don’t believe in a one size fits all approach.  Everyone is different and their homes must work for them.  I truly think that small steps at home can lead to huge changes in how you feel and live.
