Listen Later

Ever looked around your house and thought, “Where would I even start?”

Maybe the idea of decluttering feels overwhelming—like you need a whole weekend, a label maker, and a small army to make progress.

But what if I told you that big results don’t require big time?

In this episode of the Maximized Minimalist, I’m flipping the script on what it really takes to simplify your space—and your headspace. I’m sharing 7 ridiculously doable decluttering wins you can grab in five minutes or less… even if your schedule is slammed.

No perfect conditions required. No color-coded bins necessary.

If you’ve ever felt stuck because you didn’t have time, energy, or motivation—this episode will help you get started (and feel good doing it).

What You’ll Learn:
  • Why traditional decluttering advice might be sabotaging your progress

  • The nightstand trick that can create a domino effect of calm

  • What your purse really says about your stress level (👀)

  • My favorite way to clear digital clutter that takes less time than brewing coffee

  • And the one drawer you definitely need to rename ASAP

Real talk: It’s not about doing it all. It’s about doing something.
