I love it and things podcasts. But before we do that, we have to share with you the wonderful comments that we got from Barbara right, Lesley? Yeah, we did a podcast a few weeks ago, Episode 244. So that's kind of nine podcasts ago or 10 podcasts ago, actually. 10 things 10 podcaster. To kind of Omarosa. Anyway, yes, Barbara was commenting on episode 244. So that's my 10 podcasts ago. And that was a podcast all about how to create like your lasting legacy. So what to do to make sure that everything is in order, and people remember things about you and important things once you have passed away. So Barbie really resonated with her. She said thank you for tackling this important area in your usual warm and friendly way. I was challenged by the idea of shredding those journals that have meant so much to me, but are private, and marked with a red.to be shredded when I die. Perhaps I can reread them and decide whether I'm comfortable with family knowing more about who and what sustained me through dark days, I am keeping a loose leaf notebook of photos and family heirlooms and the stories behind them. This is one of your best ever podcasts bringing in your experiences and families with sensitivity to different experiences of the generations. Thank you so much, Barbara, we're so delighted. I mean, it's lovely, good to get messages from listeners anyway, isn't it, Lesley, but how nice to say this is one of your best podcasts ever. It was a hard podcast to record. So it's really nice to hear that Barbara is enjoying it. And I think you know, and good as well as knowing that people have enjoyed the podcast, I think it's it's lovely to hear what people are doing as a kind of ongoing action or how people are thinking about it and what they want to do as a result of listening to the podcast. So Barbara's got her ideas about what she's gonna do. So it's kind of reset her thinking. I've reframed her thinking a little bit. And I think that's nice as well. So it's not just about money that we love a bit of England and Lesley Love Of course we do. But actually, it's so nice to know what got what you guys are doing as a result of podcast.

It's a little table next to your bed, that can become an utter dumping grounds. We've picked a lot of many bedside tables. And you wonder like how this stuff ended up here. I could have thought about at least another four or five things that I found as well. And I was disappointed that we could only have 10 To be fair. I think you know, it's interesting because we were looking and as we always do often do on these podcasts. We look at terminology around the world and whether it's different to what we would call it in the UK. So we would typically call it a bedside table or bedside cabinet now towards a bedside table would be just that it would be a table

05:00
A bowl with maybe a tiny little drawer underneath it, just under the kind of top of the table, a cabinet will be more something that had that has a cupboard or drawers underneath it, which we are big fans of when it comes to people that have a lot of clutter, because it gives you that extra bit of storage. And it's something that a lot of people are met. And they have these overflowing bedside tables. And actually, they could fix that problem a little bit with a drawer, and it could go nice and neatly in a drawer. And I believe that a nightstand is that very thing in US English, isn't it, it is a bedside cabinet, I believe. I know, it's very, it's easy to get confused about this terminology. But I think we got there in the end. It's like the place next to your bed that ends up with lots of

05:48
You know, it's a bit like it's a bit like an Understairs cupboard. In it, you know, once you start it's a bit like a TARDIS. It's like so much in there isn't there's so many random bits and pieces. Because we want to be safe and secure and calm when we're in bed. And we want to have things close to hand we get nervous about getting ill in the night, you know, it's little, it's a bit dark as we want everything really kind of easy to get. But sometimes we can have way too much stuff. And what we don't want to do is and rummaging through it as if it was almost like a junk drawer to find what we need. So we love a bit of containerization. We love a bit of organization, we definitely love decluttering. And we'd like some categorization. But before we get on to all that we're going to talk about the things that cause these clutter problems in bedside tables. I'm going to kick off with number one, Lesley, on read books. I think we think if we put them on our bedside table, we're going to magically read all these things. And some people as soon as they hit the pillow boom, they're fast asleep. Now I am not one of these people. But even then, it just has the book that you're reading, because everything else is like, Oh, there's another job that I haven't done yet. There's a whole stack of books that I haven't gotten around to yet. Can I just stop you kind of just stop you and read because I seem to recall not very long ago when we did a podcast about books, right? That you told me that you had several books on the go, it was one that's in my Kindle, or in your Kindle. So I've just got a Kindle. And I've got a little puzzle book because I love doing those should do good. Should should. Oh, cuz yeah.

07:27
And I've got a magazine, and I want a magazine. Oh, it's coming out now. You've already admitted three different types.

07:36
Different things. Yeah.

07:38
I mean, you've said on red boxing, red, but also read books, write books that you've also read. Yes, that is true. That is true. I mean, just books, books. People have like stacks of them. I mean, I'm looking at my husband here as well. I'm like, I'm gonna give him the the eyes through the podcast like this, please. I'm like, I've told him. Why is there eight or nine books on your bedside table? Well, I'm gonna read them. I'm like, they've been there. Like, I don't know how long, just please, just anyway,

08:12
we're gonna go ranting now about books. But books. Yeah, keep them to a minimum, because it's not a nice look what we're trying to create here. It's all about a compromise, right? Because we want to be comfortable. As we say we want things accessible, we want to do what we want to do when we go to bed. But sometimes it's just a little bit too much. And the common element of it disappears. So we're not saying you only need one book by bedside, like in a sort of military way. That's not what we're saying that we're saying, evaluate, I think this podcast will very much be about evaluating because so many people have got so many different ways that they do the things that we're going to talk about. And there's not a one size fits all. But what we'd like you to do as a result of this podcast is take a little bit of action, delve in to the depths of where you've not gone for a while and go, do I actually need all this stuff? The answer to that might be yes. And if it is, that's fine. At least you've looked and you've taken these out bad but the bottom dollar, that there are things in there that you don't need. I bet there are many, many people a few excess books. Yes. Well, I'm gonna move on to number two lezlie excessive charges and cables. Wow, I know. That's why the the cable spaghetti comes in, things get tangled. Then there's, of course, there's the charger, then there's the backup charge. And then there's your charger of a phone that nobody knows anymore what it's for. Then there's some other random cables that kind of ended up somewhere in your bedside table because you thought it might be important and before you know it, you've got spaghetti and it's like, I don't even know I just want to have a charger that works. That's all I want. You know what the nice thing is these days about charges is that as kind of technology moves on. And chargers are just something that we need in our life, right? Whether we like that they aren't really annoying, because they're kind of big and they fall over and they flop down and all that kind of stuff.

10:00
Other people have thought about very clever solutions for charges. And so and it's something that I don't want to take my phone off the cable, and then the cable for behind the bedside that happens. Right? I was mad. That's the problem. So I made sure that I've got a kind of stand for my phone, and I've got a sore, I've got my phone, I've got my Apple watch that go on charge every night. Nothing else on my bedside tables, I don't need anything else there. I've got I've still got charges downstairs, you know, for different things, what headphones and all that kind of stuff. But I've made sure that I've got nice neat little charges, you can get combined once you didn't get ones that charge the phone, your watch and air pods like so Apple, if you got a phone, air pods, this is same, it's not just Apple stuff, and a watch. So whatever the equivalent device, get a nice little neat thing for maybe like 20 pounds, something like that. And I know it's a lot of money. But if it fixes that problem, that's kind of continually annoying you because they're losing the cables, then it's worth it. There's little things that kind of hook onto the side of your bedside cabinets to keep the cables from falling down. You know, there's a there's loads of different solutions. So if there's something that's been bothering you, it is so annoying that you keep doing it over and

11:14
over and over again. Oh, yeah, yeah, several times a night, right? As you put your phone on the phone, and they say phone out, falls down, which we pull back, you can help yourself with these fantastic ideas and innovations that people have got pocket, take a look on Amazon or wherever you get your stuff. And you will find something in a moment. Yes, exactly. I'm gonna move on to number three. Let's see, because I think this is the first thing I thought about when we thought about this topic. I'm like, this is the thing, all medications all over it when you're all over all oils, medication, I know. But it's because I find it all the time. And it's like once this is like oh, and then you check the data limited cases like paracetamol from like four years ago. And I'm like, Okay, let's make sure that we get that back to the pharmacies, and they can destroy it securely. Or, you know, you sometimes people end up unfortunately, having to take several bits of medication and they change and then they forget that they've still got the old medication in their bedside table, and then things get muddled. And then it's, especially at night, because it's darker, you probably won't have a massive light on in your bedroom where you're trying to go to sleep. So it's kind of tricky to see you kind of have to rummage through a little bit. So I think really old medications unless you really have to take it when you're in bed with a glass of water or something that medications could live there. But all the excess or outdated stuff needs to be taken out. I think it comes to a wider conversation really about medications and whatever kind of medications you're on. And that looks very different for for different people, you know, you and I probably got five or six different types of medication because we don't have any ailments as such that we need to take medication for. But other people, I've got maybe 2025 30 Different things that they're having to manage. I've got only one lastly, I'm still I'm still in my prime help.

13:04
But you must have like, you've I bet you don't just have one. Like you don't just have one, you'll have like Vapor Rub and you'll have some bombshell.

13:13
Oh, there's no guy to make out of that you're a beacon of health and only need one paracetamol every six months. I will say too, but you know, you do have things that you have, like no, but I thought you were thinking about things she get from like the doctor. I've got like one but yes, of course I'm going to be the paracetamol like those kinds of bits of court and other little cupboard in my kitchen, where it's where it all is, I don't even medication at my bedside table. I've got one thing in my bathroom. And that says, now and we're looking at it because we're in good health, but people that are not, it's important to have a handle on your medications, in probably no more than two areas in your home and make sure that you're continually I've got that through pot that you make sure that medications are not going to waste. That's something we see all the time, you know, places where you pay for that medication. I mean, I don't know whether it's worse on you know, the NHS we get it's not free, kind of sort of cheaper, perhaps medication a lot of places, but it's still costing someone somewhere or US taxpayers. And so it's really important to not waste good medication that costs money. And so we have a duty a duty to do that. I think as well don't wait and we don't want these things going back into

14:27
into the environment as well. So make sure that when we got those medications that were kind of using them or taking them back to the pharmacy where they came and disposing of them sustainably. Absolutely, absolutely. I'm going to talk about number four Lesley another really good one I think and that is lots of beauty products. So we find creams and night creams and hand cream and foot cream and eye cream and

14:58
other things

15:00
beauty stuff in bedside tables, lots of it. We do. But I, you know, as I look at it, I kind of, in a way, I wish that I did that stuff and did do that stuff that might look a little bit different to look today, if I was putting a foot cream

15:17
in an eye cream and this cream and this mask, and maybe it turned out a little bit differently before today, you know, I mean, so much as I go, you don't need all that stuff. I look at the people were using all that stuff. And perhaps it look a little bit more useful. So who are we to say, you know, who a I've got to hold my hand up. I've got one hand cream in my bedside table, I might as well recycle it because it's been.

15:47
I like a feel like is it that we're completely going against their own biases, completely aspirational. I've literally got a lip balm and a hand cream and an eye cream next to my baby and a little nice little container thing that's probably been there, like two and a half years since I lost my bedside table in the hopes that one day I'm gonna go chop the pot, a little bit of ice cream on Stein, who knows what I'm gonna what, like tomorrow are refreshed. So, again, every one is different. There are some people that love to do that stuff love to pamper themselves. And that's part of their nighttime routine. But again, look about whether it's a little bit excessive, because typically, if people are very focused on beauty and grooming and all this kind of thing saying Would I clearly or not, then Bill probably be an excess as well. I mean, we've got an excess, and we've not put an eye cream on for the last since the 1970s.

16:45
You still look fabulously,

16:48
but I've always rely on you.

16:50
Maybe it's assumed filter.

16:55
closely, Zoom filter, this trick of everyone.

16:59
Anyway,

17:01
that's now already running out, we need to calm down a little bit, we need to call it 10 Things podcast that makes us go like stir crazy, like ridiculous and outrageous.

17:12
Doing a little podcast release just to 10 things, there's something about it that makes us go slightly ridiculous. That's why I like that. Because we laugh a lot of the time as well about that, then things but anyway, we have to come clean and be honest with you guys, I mean, I can sit there and gone. Like it's so to lie, I've got ice cream in my, in my drawer that's been in there, I think for about six years, it's about time to throw it away. Right? Number five, and then we can have a break after that to calm down a little bit. Okay, number five unnecessary paperwork, things like receipts and notes and little scribbly bits, and then maybe bits of an open post or open post or half kind of still in envelopes. I mean, lots of paperwork kind of bits come from bedside tables, it must have must not be very relaxing. And I agree. Again, I'm going to come back with a counter argument, I think because one of the things that you're supposed to do, if you can't sleep, and you get these bright creative ideas or things that you remember or chores that you need to do that pop into your head while he's sleeping or before you go to sleep is supposed to write it down. Yeah, but I envisage that being written down in a nice notebook, not some sort of on the back of a receipt from four years ago, right?

18:31
Yeah, so you've got like a little you. So in your world, you've got a little notebook. In these creative ideas that pop into your head, oh, Lesley, my whole head is buzzing after a day of working with you, I don't want to I just want to do much to duck with night, I do not want to write anything down anymore. So I have no notebook with nothing next to my bed. I don't either. But the consequence of that is that I'm awake of foreclosure with all these ideas. And I have to come down and stop writing them down on my computer. So maybe I need a notepad next to my next to my bed. So But having said that a notebook or somewhere to record your innermost sort of bright moments and bright ideas that come through the middle of a night would be ideal, if that's you. And that's the kind of thing that makes you settle. But make sure that you're going through that stuff and taking it from that notepad from that back of receipt from that piece of paper from wavering it down in a magazine and taking it to that next stage, which is to put it on a to do list to put it in an ideas list and a bullet journal and whatever you want to do. It has to go to that next stage. And I guess that's what we see in bedside tables. Bedside cabinets, is that it's just a load of random stuff that got thought about in October 31st 2018. And it's not really moved on. So that's what we're talking about. Yeah, I really feel I have to calm down a little bit. So I think I'd suggest we go for a break and we can have a cup of tea, and then we'll see you soon. Okay, right

20:00
Everybody, welcome back for your next part of the 10 things podcast. And of course, as always, we were getting a bit too giddy. So we had hopefully calmed down a little bit and can chat to you sensibly. So let's

20:18
let's go to number six. This is another one we see a lot jewelry and accessories. So kind of people, there are people who take off their jewelry next to their bed before they go to sleep, like, oh, I still have a bracelet on or a necklace or earrings or something. And they've got these little pots on their bedside table, were kind of in all lands, maybe apart, maybe, maybe, maybe not. And then it kind of gets jumbled things get lost things lose their friends, because they just kind of are Chuck down there. And then it's, it's tricky to then find it again. Also lose buttons and things like that I see as well, a lot and bedside tables kind of way. Somebody's bought a new top, and they've got like this little plastic sachet, where they give you spare butter. It's like, oh, I don't know where to put it. Let me just put it in my bedside table. Yeah. And that's when it becomes like a junk drawer. Right? Yeah. And so I think I think that all of these things that we're talking about, so what we're not saying is that you need to do these things, you need to take your note and put it away once you've done it, or you need to, if you do take it all off, and you're in bed, and you only just realized that it was on that, they then got to get up and put it away. But all of these things should be part of your morning reset. Okay, so we talk a lot about morning resets evening, we resets weekly resets, this is part of a tightening up process to rehome things. So because you want to make sure that the jewelry if you want to go out a week later, that you've got a full range of jewelry to choose from. If it's in your bedside table, you'll sort of forget about it. And so, make this part of your morning reset to reset your bedside table, we invariably will have things in our bedrooms overnight that we have used. But we just need to reset it in the morning to make sure that we're starting afresh every day. Yeah, good point. Good point. Number seven. Yes. non essential electronics. How many old smartphones have you found like, like a Nokia or Blackberry, you know, from like,

22:19
from, like, 15 years ago, together with the random charges and plugs we talked about earlier. It's a whole thing, because for some reason, we I think we think it's important or something and we just think let's stick it in a bedside table. But then we know where it is. Yeah, I think I think there's a psychology there isn't that with these old phones that we think it's important information, we feel like we want to do something and we want to put it somewhere that we're going to know that it is. And so we keep her and the shame about doing that is that these old phones, if you you know a lot of people change the phones after I mean, you know, two years, three years, four years, I mean, most people probably change the phone within five years, don't they Ingrid. And I think that, you know, they still have value to somebody. So if you can, you know, take the information off them or you know, move it from one device to another, and then you can recycle it, you can possibly make some money from it, or you can send it to charity, and it goes back into sort of circulation and does it because effectively whilst it sits in it is sitting next in your bedside cabinet for 10 years, then it becomes kind of landfill, and you can't do anything with it, because it'll be too old and outdated to be able to do anything with it. So it has got another a second life potential. And if you keep it in the bedside drawer, then it kind of doesn't anymore, right? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So yes. How if you find those items, I mean, not easy. These are tricky items to deal with, because you do need to find that charger. So you can plug it in and kind of sort of try and see can I still turn this on? Is there a battery in it? Is there still information on there? So it's a bit of a fiddly job. But having that in your bedside table is probably not the best place for it to move on on the on the action and to do lists. So yeah. Are you writing but it needs to be the problem is the location of it isn't in an action based place. Is it? So, you know, wherever that is, you know, you'd be better off having it in your kitchen or your office or somewhere that you're going to see it on a regular basis and do something with these things get buried in the bottom of drawers. It's not just bedside drawers. It's you know, other drawers in your bedroom, but often in your bedroom, right? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. What a listlessly one a list. Okay, let me go on to number eight. Go. This is This is you. This is you what you've just said, what?

24:38
You admitted to this. Yeah, but I I'm not leaving them unfinished. I'm actually doing them. These are unfinished projects like crafts and puzzles. But I do my little Sudoku every night so it's not unfinished, but there's loads of people who've got stacks and stacks of I'm gonna read this I'm gonna maybe it's also a bit like magazines and things

25:00
like that I see this as kind of same category or, Oh, I've didn't finish that magazine yet. I still want to read that article. And then there's whole stacks and all heaps of things. And all I want to finish that puzzle in that in that magazine or that newspaper, and you don't get around to it and it just all builds up. Definitely. So you're saying that you've not got any old to Dooku? So you discard it when it's all done? Do you? Yes, that was about and you get to the end of the puzzle, but I didn't leave some out. Well, I think I've got Yeah, I'm working my way through. I mean, I've had mine book like for ages. I'm like on puzzle 243 now and I do one every two nights or something. So it's been there for ages. But every night I just go on keeping your brain active English. I just love it to try and to find the night then just deny numbers. And then Steve. Steve doesn't on his phone. Yeah. Your phone? No, but I leave my phone downstairs. I don't want my phone in my bedroom. So you wait till your kids gets going out edge or what have you found downstairs anymore? Those will be normal load. I know. I know. I'm enjoying it. One last Lesley. Yeah, exactly. So yeah. Anything that you've done with you know, or halfway through, you know, but again, put it somewhere. It becomes like visual clutter and then doesn't. Yeah, tricky. Unfinished craft products, products, projects, and puzzles, books, magazines, those kinds of things. Now, let's see the next one. I want you to come clean. But I actually don't know the answer to this. Number nine is bedside snacks. Do you eat snacks in your bed? Never mean either. You've seen we're aligned again. I could not eat for like a Mother's Day right? They bring you left straight with this cup of tea or like something to eat and I'm like, Oh, hi, thanks. Like eating in my bed. I never have exact I might get you know it to be fair if I was in a hotel room or hotels like different way

27:02
because you haven't got any other option apart from a bar of chocolate or a glass of wine or something when you're in your bed that you've got to have it in bed really on there's like all this like one nice chair and then you with the two of you and one person sits in the chair the other one has to sit on the bed. Yeah, so that's the only exception really, but even then, I don't really align. I don't even really watch telly in bed either. Me neither. I do have a TV and I do sometimes but literally I'm talking about six times a year that I might go we are so similar Lesley's like crazy because I'm insane. We've got a little TV upstairs in a bedroom. And I can't even the last year I can't even remember actually we should declutter it was Why isn't there but it nevermind. I mean, but yeah, I just don't really because the thing is as soon as you put the telly on the bedroom, you just stay awake watching telly and then

27:54
well I really need to sleep because I go to bed far too late anyway.

27:58
So we were talking about bedsides snack Stan so we see a lot of those is it a good? Is it a good habit? Is this something that we should talk about in decluttering podcasts whether or not people should eat snacks in bed maybe that's dangerous territory Lesley

28:16
we're not health coaches.

28:20
But what we can talk about is decluttering the access so the boxes and bags of crisps or you know candles or coke and all that kind of stuff when you finished with them to discard them as part of your morning reset and don't let them sit there for six months if they're going out of date and stuff like that. And we see a lot right we see a lot no judgment here if somebody wants to watch telly in bed and eat snacks in bed you go for it that's your just as not weird like meaning Gregory we're like okay, now it is sleep. Go to sleep.

28:56
I think if I would eat like chocolates and Christian and soft drinks before I go to bed, I can never sleep I'm really bouncing up for myself. My concern is not that my concern is if I ate chocolate and sweets and those kinds of things when I was in bed as well that was when I was not I'm feeling like this would not be a good thing at all like at least is a cultural point. Sometimes I go to bed to come on the diet and go to bed.

29:21
The only thing is gonna stop me. But anyway, so bedside snacks. Oh my God we're not doing very very better on this side of the bottom there. So are we after our break? We're getting a bit rowdy and crazy again. Yeah. All right, one more left one left number 10 minimize your decorative items. I mean by all means have a lovely little thing but we see some bedside tables with like flowers and candles and photographs and Nick Mackay bits and the lab anything and and then somebody actually wants to put a get some tissues and they can't put them anywhere because it's so cheap.

30:00
block with all these decorative items, but which also makes it look very, very busy. But yeah, I agree, I think that you need to allow a bedside table. So you've got to go two ways with this. So it's either a bedside table that is largely decorative with beautiful things on it that look nice. And you don't really need space for other things like medication, like phones and chargers and books and things like that. You can't really do both. Like I'm not, I'm not averse to people having beautiful things on the bedside table far fryer. But, you know, it needs to allow space for both. And so think about those things. I say we just see it every day. And it just we stopped seeing it, right. Yeah, yeah. And I think that's the thing, isn't it, because we do become clutter blind. If you have a house with a lot of stuff, he just can't see the clutter anymore. And I think when you your bedroom is such an important room in the house to get rights. And to because sleep is so important. I mean, we because we're so busy, we've eroded ourselves of sleep, and it's crucial in our busy lives to have a lot of sleep, and I'm talking to myself as well, I really, really, really need to be better at going to bed. But at least I get a solid good hours of sleep, because I don't wake up in the middle of the night and everything yet. So I think having a calm bedroom can do so much good for your soul and for your mind and for feeling calm and relaxing. And if you have a lot of clutter around your bed, and it's almost like you have to wrestle yourself into your bed and rummage through all the stuff on your bedside table all the time. That is not helpful for you. So I think we I mean, we've been laughing our way through this podcast. But I think a message really is really important to go look at that. Think about that. Just minimize it a little bit because it will really benefit you.

10 things you need to be closer from your bedside table. So hopefully between the laughter, it has been useful. The most important thing is don't worry about what we have said. But think about your bedside table. Maybe do that this weekend as a project. And think you know what, it's popped into my mind. Why don't I tackle that bedside table? Often people have gotten to as well. So whether you're on your own or whether you with a partner, sometimes there are two bedside tables as there might be more than one. But make sure you've got you keep that to an absolute minimum so that it's the useful thing that it should be. And as always, let us know. What have you found? Yeah, we want it. We want to know this. Have you found anything for what 10 Things list? Or have you found other random stuff that you're like, wow, I would have expected you to talk about this, that or the other and you didn't die. And I've got this in my bedside table. So thank you so much. We appreciate you so much listening in week in week out. And we're back next week. See you then. Bye.
