Why Your Home Is Cluttered After Tidying

10 Reasons Why Your Home Is Cluttered After Tidying

 

It happens to the best of us: You have already tidied, yet your home remains cluttered. It’s incredibly, frustrating, sure. It is also quite common.

Tidy homes can often feel messy, even after the work is done. Why is that?

The answer is threefold:

First, there’s a perceived inverse relationship between clutter + cleanliness.

Second, you overlooked some important places (10 important places, to be exact!) when decluttering.

Finally, you neglected the tenets of minimalist organization.

On this week’s episode I tackle all 3 reasons why your home feels messy when it’s clean. The cherry on top? Each simple, actionable step I outline today is designed to take each + every messy space from cluttered to calm, without extra work.

Happy listening!

The Shopping Conspiracy

Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste.

Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions.

A note from Stephanie: This episode was recorded before the Los Angeles wildfires. If you're able, please consider donating to one of these organizations
