Excess Phone Notifications: Unless it’s an important message or call, most notifications we get are unnecessary and distract us from what we’re doing in the moment. Go to your settings and turn off notifications for any apps that distract you or stress you out.

If fewer items come into your space, you have fewer items to manage, clean, care for, and use, which means less work!

Seasonal Decor You Have No Place For: If you have seasonal decor, reflect about how often you use each piece. Just a few...
