My name is Aidan Gately.
Iβm Irelandβs first male KonMari Consultant & the first Declutter Expert on RTΓβs popular television series Home Rescue alongside designer Dee Coleman and builder Peter Finn.
I have always felt that an untidy living space leads to a cluttered mind, or perhaps itβs the other way around?
Iβve always been relatively tidy & enjoy living in an uncluttered space but sometimes especially if Iβm extra busy or βburning the candle at both endsβ I find that I end up surrounded by mess & clutter & I feel this really affects my mental health.
Once I had completed what Marie Kondo calls the Tidying Festival, my mind was at ease & I felt happier at home.

only shows up after tidying.β
