About the Author
We’re Gunna Kick Your Clutter to the Curb, Literally!
Your home is your oasis. It’s meant to be an escape from the work and stress of the outside world, not a chaotic place where you simply store your stuff.
If you walk through your front door and are greeted by piles of papers, laundry, and dishes, you may start to dread coming home in the first place. Maybe every surface in your home seems to be piled with stuff
or you’re constantly misplacing things, like the bills that need to be paid. If you struggle to find a clear spot on your countertop to make dinner or you have to step on dirty clothes and wet towels on your bathroom floor, your home could be making you feel unhappy and overwhelmed.
Every single thing you own is one more thing you have to think about and take care of. The stress and pressure of keeping up with your physical belongings can really take a toll on your happiness and your health.
If you’re feeling resentful for having to constantly clean, tidy, and maintain the stuff in your house, you’re not alone. Thankfully, your home doesn’t have to be just another chore on your never-ending to-do list. Your home can really be the beautiful, relaxing space you and your family deserve.
But How Do You Create a Home That Makes You
Feel Calm and Happy Instead of Super Stressed and
a Little Ragey?
One word: declutter.
You can buy dozens of storage bins and make all the to-do lists you want, but if you don’t understand why you are cluttered and take the right steps to declutter properly, you’ll never be able to stop the cycle of clutter for good. Decluttering means less stuff to clean and keep
