A Final Word of Encouragement
Remember, the goal of decluttering and home organization is not to have a perfect, magazine-worthy house. The goal is to create a home that supports you, keeps you safe, and brings you peace. This is a journey of a thousand small steps, and every single step forward is a success. Be patient and compassionate with yourself throughout the process.
Your home is your sanctuary. By intentionally choosing what to keep within its walls, you are not just cleaning up; you are curating a life of greater ease, safety, and joy. Your very next step is simple: choose one drawer, one shelf, or one small tabletop. Set a timer for 15 minutes and begin. You can do this.

I wish y’all had a free app I could put on my tablet to help me with the decluttering and cleaning up my home. I am a senior sometimes frustrated with the “ move something from one place to another place” just to get that one area cleaned
Moving things from one place to another – I do that to.
I am also a senior.. that seems to be the problem, doesn’t it? We all need to declutter BUT most have a fixed income and can’t afford the subscription to find out the best way to achieve this. Its a catch 22!
So true
The problem is, people like to collect “stuff”, thinking they will need it someday. It costs money to hang on to things; the storage cost, the handling cost over and over again. Now where did I put that? If I can’t find it, I’ll just have to buy it again! Oh, and then there’s that item I bought, but now that I want to use it, it has aged too much to be useful. What a waste! A waste of my efforts!!!
You know all those “trinkets” you bought because they are cute? Now, how much time does it take you to dust them off? Who has that kind of time?
It costs to throw things out. Spend less up front. You’ll be glad you did!
