Start with one small zone
A single drawer or shelf is the best place to begin. Quick wins build momentum and reduce overwhelm.
Use a timer so you stay focused and stop on time.
Create simple keep rules
Ask: does this item have a home, or do I use it weekly? If not, consider donating or storing it elsewhere.
Consistency matters more than perfection.
Maintain with a weekly reset
Set a 10-minute reset once a week. Put items back, clear surfaces, and keep flow lines open.
This keeps your home feeling calm between deeper cleans.
Pair decluttering with a clean
Decluttering makes cleaning faster and more effective.
Combine it with a Deep Cleaning session for the best results.
