Have you ever gotten really excited about decluttering your house, jumped in with both feet, started making progress, and then very quickly found yourself getting frustrated with your kids for undoing your work? Or maybe you cleared a space and felt great about it - until they moved in and started playing there and it drove you crazy? If that sounds familiar, I've been there too, and I want to share with you two ideas today to really encourage you on your decluttering journey. In this episode, I share: The decluttering epiphany I had during this survival season. The four distinct layers of decluttering (I guide you through all of them in the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit) The "two-minute tidy space" concept that's been incredible in our bedrooms Why decluttering is the starting line, not the finish line Decluttering isn't about creating a Pinterest-perfect home - it's about finding YOUR threshold where things flow smoothly, where cleanup feels manageable, and where you can find peace at the end of the day. It's not the finish line, but the starting point that makes everything else possible. Join the waitlist for my Surviving to Thriving Toolkit at survivingtothrivingtoolkit.com if you'd like guidance through all four layers of decluttering and beyond.
