Anyone who has ever lived in a cluttered home and then finally gotten it organized will tell you what a difference it has made to their well-being. A clutter-free environment reduces stress and anxiety while promoting productivity. Remember, home clutter can have a direct impact on mental clutter; when your space is messy, your brain has trouble focusing, thinking clearly, and feeling at ease!

Start your seasonal switch with a clear plan. Set aside a dedicated day or two to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
