✨ When you realize your home has more clutter than you’d like, it can feel overwhelming, right?! 😩😅 It’s easy to think you can tackle it all in one day and never struggle again. BUT, the key is to take it one area at a time and steer clear of these 5 common mistakes most people make:

1️⃣ Skipping Routines - Without a daily or weekly routine, clutter can quickly pile up again. Set small, manageable tasks to keep your space tidy!

2️⃣ Lack of Delegation - Trying to do it all yourself? Delegate tasks among family members to share the load and make organizing a team effort.

3️⃣ Ignoring Categories - Sorting items by category (like books, clothes, or papers) rather than by room can make a huge difference. It helps you see exactly what you have and need.

4️⃣ Keeping Just-In-Case Items - Holding onto things “just in case” you might need them someday? This often leads to unnecessary clutter. Be honest about what you really use and need.

5️⃣ Forgetting to Verticalize - Not using vertical space effectively? Shelves, hooks, and over-the-door organizers can free up a lot of space.
