When we feel overwhelmed by the state of our homes, it’s tempting to want to fix everything all at once. But trying to declutter, clean, and organize an entire space in one go can lead to burnout or make things even worse. Taylor Flanery encourages us to avoid “choking on our homes” by taking small, manageable bites—15 minutes at a time—rather than trying to overhaul everything in a weekend.

A big thing that can get in the way of us reaching our goals is running out of time. There are days when we don’t have a minute to spare, but there are also days when we run out of time because a lot of our day was spent doing things we don’t actually care much about.

Mark Twain has been attributed as saying if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you won’t do anything else more unpleasant the whole day. What that means is do the most daunting task first. Sometimes it’s the hardest, sometimes it’s just the most unpleasant. 

Almost always these are relatively quick tasks and the anticipation is worse than the reality. But, sometimes it’s not a quick task and it really is as bad as you t...

Habits are those things that you train yourself to do almost on autopilot. Habits can help reduce the mental load we have when we spend time debating with ourselves about doing a task or when we’ve had a long day and now we’re having to make all new decisions about what we need to do. Essentially, establishing habits is a great way to get more energy back into your day.

What constitutes a small space? The answer is going to be different for everyone, right? It might depend on what part of the country you grew up. One may have grown up where two story homes with basements were the norm, while someone else thought those types of homes only belonged to the very wealthy.
