“Does your home ever feel like it's holding more stuff than space to breathe?”

Facing the Clutter Challenge: You’re Not Alone

Let’s be honest—how many times have you looked at a cluttered drawer, cabinet, or closet and said, “Nope. Not today”? Yep, same. Clutter isn’t just a space issue—it’s an energy issue. In small homes, it piles up fast and weighs us down mentally, emotionally, and visually.

But this challenge isn’t about overhauling everything overnight. It’s about gentle, meaningful progress - not perfection.

Forget Perfection: Baby Steps Over Big Leaps

We’re skipping the pressure of Pinterest-worthy before-and-afters. Instead, pick one small spot—just one.

• A drawer
  

• A shelf
  

• A cluttered corner
  

• A stack of mail
  

• That one “catch-all” surface (we all have one!)
  

Set a timer for 15 minutes and go. That’s it. One step at a time is how real change happens.

The Three Declutter Tests

When you’re unsure about an item, ask yourself:

1. 1. Do I love it?
      

   2. Do I use it?
      

   3. Would I buy it again?
      

If it doesn’t get a yes, it doesn’t need to take up your space anymore.

Create Your Clutter Kit: Your New Best Friend

Inside your guide, you’ll find printable labels for a simple sorting system:

• Keep – Love it and use it often? It stays.
  

• Donate – Good condition, not needed by you.
  

• Trash – Broken, expired, or beyond repair.
  

• Relocate – It belongs somewhere else in your home.
  

• Maybe – Set a two-week limit. No use = let it go.
  
  

“Clutter is just postponed decisions.”
This system helps you make those decisions, gently and efficiently.

Tiny Space Bonus: Declutter THEN Contain

We will be discussing this topic in our organization stage but if you are a planner like me, you probably want to order the organization items you're going to need ahead of time! After you’ve cleared what you no longer need, you want to give what remains a proper home. Whether it’s drawer organizers, hidden bins, or multifunctional furniture with built-in storage, your space will instantly feel calmer.

Don’t Forget the Digital Clutter

Spring clean your screen, too. This week, pick one digital declutter task:

• Delete duplicate photos
  

• Clean up your desktop or downloads folder

Even little wins like these can bring peace of mind.
