30-Day Declutter Challenge

Clutter doesn’t appear overnight—but it sure does feel like it!

One day, your counters are clear, and the next, there are piles of mail, random tote bags, and that box you’ve been meaning to unpack for months.

It happens to all of us, but the truth is, a cluttered space often leaves us feeling scattered, anxious, stressed, and low on energy (research even backs this up).
