Ep 104: Do This Instead of Decluttering for a Clean Home

Need to clear out stuff, but hate the idea of a big, exhausting decluttering session? No worries. I’ve got your back.


Decluttering doesn’t have to mean dumping everything out and sorting through it one thing at a time. Instead of feeling like you have to do it all at once, you can be methodical and create a rhythm for going through the things you own.


Honestly, no one really wants to look through their old items and feel guilty about tossing stuff. Even as a minimalist, decluttering is a means to an end for me. I love the feeling of a neat tidy space, but sorting, purging, and tossing is tiring.


Here’s what I do instead of decluttering to keep my home clean and clutter free.
