#70: Decluttering Made Simple: Small Wins for a Peaceful, Organized Home

Season #2

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter but don’t know where to start? You're not alone! In this episode, we break down the decluttering process into simple, actionable steps that will help you create a home that feels peaceful and stress-free. Plus, discover the 15 everyday habits that will keep clutter from creeping back in—no massive overhaul required!

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Decluttering is a Mindset Shift: Instead of viewing decluttering as overwhelming or exhausting, reframe it as an empowering step toward creating a peaceful, organized home that aligns with your vision.

 

  •  Start Small to Build Momentum: Begin with a simple task—like decluttering your junk drawer—before tackling bigger projects. Small wins lead to lasting motivation and success.
  • Use the Four-Box Method: When decluttering, sort items into four categories—keep, donate, trash, and store—to make decisions easier and prevent unnecessary clutter from creeping back in
  • Adopt Simple Daily Habits: Small habits, like making your bed, sorting mail over the trash, and keeping kitchen counters clear, prevent clutter from accumulating and keep your home feeling fresh.
  • Be Intentional About What You Keep: Ask yourself key questions, like "Does this item serve my current season of life?" and "Is it costing me more in stress than it’s worth?" If it doesn’t fit your vision, let it go!
