Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to declutter the entire house… in the busiest month of the year? And why does December always feel like the moment we should suddenly “get it together” with home organization, even when we’re already stretched thin?

If you’ve ever wondered why big decluttering projects feel impossible in December, you’re not alone.
There’s a real reason your organizing momentum disappears the moment the holiday chaos begins, and it has nothing to do with motivation.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden forces that make December the hardest month for declutter projects, tidying marathons, and anything that requires sustained focus. And more importantly?
I’m sharing 6 simple things you can organize instead that will give you back your time, your calm, and your sanity.

Because sometimes the smartest home organization strategy isn’t doing more... it’s doing what actually supports you in the season you’re in.

If you’re tired of feeling behind, overwhelmed by clutter, or frustrated that your family life gets more chaotic this time of year, this episode is going to help you breathe again.
I’ll show you how intentional, realistic organization can stabilise your days, reduce the noise, and make December feel lighter, without adding another stressful decluttering project to your plate.

What if this month wasn’t about achieving more… but about protecting your energy?
And what if the smallest organizational shifts could bring the biggest sense of relief?

Inside, I'll walk you through gentle, doable declutter strategies that work with your real life, especially if you’re already navigating family routines, neurodivergent needs, and holiday overwhelm.
