Clutterbug - Real-Life Hacks and Tips to Declutter, Organize and Clean your Home Fast

Hey Clutterbugs!  Today is about decluttering tips and home organization systems to match your current season of life. If your life has changed but your home hasn’t, you’re probably feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and tempted to shop for “solutions” instead of update your systems. We’re going to talk about why your home isn’t a museum—it’s a living organism that has to evolve as you do. I walk you through the seasons of life (solo starter, early family/merging households, “city girl” single-income leveling up, school-age chaos, career sprint/burnout prevention, boomerang kids, empty nest feelings, and downsizing) and the exact shifts your home needs in each stage. We’ll cover how to identify your current “dominant energy,” how to declutter what no longer fits your life now, and how to build simple, low-friction systems so your home stops feeling like a part-time job. You’ll also hear my real talk on scarcity mindset, why “filling the space” too fast can lead to debt and clutter, how container limits protect your budget, and why every item you let go of gives you something you can’t buy: time. Plus, I’ll challenge you to declutter two guest-notice zones (bathroom + kitchen) so you can feel proud of your space immediately—especially with the holidays coming.   #clutterbug #podcast #emptynest #starterhouse #decluttering #phasesoflife #seasonsoflife #planning #future   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/

It's a great way to start the New Year. Decluttering, believe it or not, is a financial strategy! We’ll talk about the hidden costs of clutter (duplicate purchases, food waste, storage fees), how to track real savings each week, and the mindset shifts that stop impulse buying. I’ll share quick wins—like a 20-minute Weekly Financial Reset, pantry “use-up” lists, and 3-minute decluttering tasks—that reduce decision fatigue and protect your budget.

Perfectionism is a trap, and today we’re talking about how letting go of it can transform your productivity, time management, and overall happiness. Why? Because embracing 'average'—yes, average—is actually the secret to freeing up your time, energy, and mental bandwidth for the things that really matter. I know, I know, the word 'average' doesn’t sound appealing. Nobody wants to feel mediocre, right? But here’s the truth—most of us waste so much energy trying to be ‘perfect’ at things that don’t actually move the needle forward in life. And when we focus on perfection, we burn ourselves out and have nothing left for the stuff that truly makes life extraordinary.In this episode, I’ll share why embracing 'good enough' in the areas that don’t matter—like household chores, decluttering, or even certain work tasks—can give you more time to focus on what does matter. I’ll also explain how taking shortcuts, like my ‘Do It Shitty’ method, can actually lead to more success, not less. Whether it’s cleaning your house, improving your career, or strengthening your relationships, I’ll show you where you can cut corners, save time, and still get things done without the stress of perfectionism holding you back.   #clutterbug #podcast #mondaymotivation #motivation #mindsestshift #doitshitty   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/
