Why Clutter Overwhelms Busy Moms (And How to Reclaim Your Home)

Clutter isn’t just about having too much stuff—it’s about how that stuff impacts your energy, focus, and mental load. As busy moms, managing a home filled with clutter makes even small tasks feel impossible. Research shows that a cluttered environment contributes to higher cortisol levels, leading to increased stress and frustration.

How to Take Control:

• Start Small: Pick one space, like a junk drawer or a single shelf, and tackle it first.

• Set a Timer: Spend just 10-15 minutes decluttering daily instead of trying to do it all at once.

• Adopt the “One In, One Out” Rule: For every new item you bring into your home, remove one.

By focusing on small, manageable steps, you can reduce clutter and create a home that feels lighter and more peaceful.
