When the Clutter Feels Like Too Much: A Simple Way to Take Back Your Space
Let me ask you something I’ve had to ask myself more than once…
Have you ever walked into a room in your home—maybe the school room, maybe the laundry corner (or maybe it’s the same room)—and felt like the clutter was closing in on you?
Not just the toys or papers or piles of “I’ll get to that later”...
But the mental weight of it all?
You’re not alone.
In our home, especially during the homeschool years, life had this magical way of multiplying.
Books, projects, manipulatives, science kits, half-started art supplies, cozy nooks for reading... and then the regular everyday life layered right on top of it.
Add in busy schedules, a few missed laundry days, and that mysterious clutter magnet called “the dining table,” and suddenly, peace felt pretty far away.
But here’s the thing no one tells you:
Clutter isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, too.
It steals your energy. It clouds your thinking.
And worst of all, it quietly whispers, you’ll never catch up.
But I want to tell you the truth, the one I had to learn the hard way:
You don’t need to “catch up” to someone else’s standard of clean.
You just need a plan that works for you and your home.
What If Decluttering Didn’t Feel So Overwhelming?
I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried a lot of systems over the years. Some were great, others were... Pinterest-worthy and completely impractical for a homeschool family with real kids and real life happening every day.
So I created something different—something I wish I’d had when I was knee-deep in books and Legos and forgotten mugs of coffee.
It’s called the Clear Space Kickstart—a plug-n-play prompt that walks you through creating a room-by-room decluttering plan that’s actually personal.
Not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Not a “blitz your whole house in 24 hours” kind of thing.
Just a simple prompt you copy and paste into ChatGPT, and it guides you—step-by-step—to create a plan that works for your space, your time, your goals.
A Home That Feels Like Peace Again
Here’s what I know, sweet friend:
When the clutter lifts, so does your mind.
When the room feels peaceful, your family feels it too.
When you're not buried under mess, you show up more present, more joyful, more like the Momma God made you to be.
And it doesn’t have to take hours.
With this plan, you start with what matters.
One room. One small win. One moment of breathing room.
