Decluttering is not a one-time reset. It is part of managing a real home that real people use every day. If clutter overwhelms you, I invite you to my free workshop: Decluttering Made Simple: 3 Surprising Ways to Get Organized WITHOUT Tossing Everything - Sign up at simplyconvivial.com/declutter
In this episode of my decluttering series, I show you how to turn decluttering into a small daily habit instead of a stressful life overhaul. I walk through three real spaces in my home and demonstrate how much progress you can make in just a few minutes at a time.
In this video we talk about:
Why homes will never stay “done”
Why systems always require maintenance
How to declutter in 3–5 minute pockets
How to manage changing family needs
Why clutter is not a moral failure
How to think like a competent home manager
Your family will grow. Your seasons will change. Your space will be used. That is not a problem to fix — it is life to manage well.
This video is part of my decluttering series for Christian homemakers who want peaceful, functional homes without chasing minimalist ideals.
Christian homemaking takes deliberate practice, not perfect systems. Every week on Simply Convivial, I share practical mindset shifts and small, steady habits that help you build a home anchored in truth and run with cheerful consistency. If you want less overwhelm, stronger routines, and a more faithful way to manage your day, you’re in the right place. Grab a basket of laundry, press play, and let’s grow in cheerful productivity together.
