Ep 435: Overcoming Decluttering Obstacles: Sticking to One Zone

LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST

Hi Friends,

You know that feeling when you start cleaning out the kitchen drawer,  and end up in the laundry room, and somehow wind up overwhelmed in the garage?

Yeah. That.

We’re diving into the power of sticking to one zone at a time—whether it’s a drawer, a counter, or your closet floor—and how that focused approach can help you actually finish what you start (and feel amazing about it!).

Plus, I’m sharing my go-to four-pile method, why emotional clutter is just as real as physical clutter, and how decluttering is a lot like managing debt or weight loss—it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being consistent.

💡 Why you should listen:
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting and stopping your organizing projects, this episode will help you pause, refocus, and find momentum again. I’m giving you simple tools, real talk about the emotions behind clutter, and a gentle reminder that support is always a smart move—not a sign of weakness.
