314: 1-Minute Habits to Keep a Clutter-Free Home Even in Summer Chaos


Listen Later

What if keeping your home clutter-free didn’t require a weekend marathon… just one minute?

This week, we’re ditching the pressure to “go big” and embracing the power of micro-habits. I’m walking you through 5 tiny-but-mighty strategies you can use right now to simplify your space—even on the busiest, messiest summer days.

Whether you’re juggling beach bags, snack wrappers, or just the mental clutter of a full calendar, these 1-minute habits are about to become your new secret weapon. No stress. No perfection. Just progress.

🧺 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • My go-to 1-minute reset for mess magnet zones (looking at you, kitchen counter)
  • How to sneak in decluttering “audits” while living your everyday life
  • A surprisingly fun trick that turns the date into your decluttering goal
  • The reason donation bags never leave your trunk—and how to fix it
  • The OHIO principle (a clutter-free rule that takes less time than scrolling IG)
  • A daily mindset question that’ll change how you show up in your home
✨ Why It Works:

Because decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming. These habits don’t require a big chunk of time or mental energy—they work with your real life, not against it.

And when they stack up? Total game-changer.
