Have you ever left something out on purpose so you wouldn’t forget it…
Only to watch it slowly turn into clutter?
You’re not lazy.
You’re not failing at tidying.
And you’re definitely not the only one doing this.
In this episode, I’m talking about the fine line between intentional visual reminders and everyday clutter. The kind that builds up quietly and then suddenly feels overwhelming. Especially in busy homes. Especially when you’re juggling family life, mental load, and a brain that works fast and forgets faster.
Is leaving things out actually helping you remember
Or is it adding to the chaos?
I share a real conversation from my own kitchen that sparked this episode and why it highlighted something so many women struggle with when it comes to decluttering, organizing, and home organization. We dive into why “I’ll put it away later” so often backfires and how even small habits can either support your organization or completely derail it.
This episode is about:
- Making declutter strategies work in real life
- Understanding the difference between clutter and intentional systems
- Reducing friction in your home without lowering your standards
- Overcoming overwhelm without trying to be more disciplined or perfect
Because the goal isn’t a spotless house.
It’s an organized home that supports your life.
And a family system that doesn’t rely on you remembering everything.
What if your reminders didn’t live on every surface?
What if tidying didn’t create tension in your home?
If you’re working on decluttering, organizing, and building habits that actually stick, this episode will give you a fresh way to look at how your home organization supports your brain, not fights it.
🎧 Press play and let’s rethink how we remember things without creating more mess.
