Like you're doing the work, making progress, trying to find the \"right system\"… but it keeps turning into that exhausting cycle of forward → back → forward → back . In this episode, I'm sharing the two shifts that completely changed my personal trajectory with decluttering—and finally gave me the progress I craved (and deserved). The first is this: most of us only declutter the easy stuff. The obvious \"donation bin\" items. The broken things. The trash. The surface-level clutter.
