🧠 Mental Clutter Starts With Physical Clutter—Here’s How to Beat It

There’s a reason it feels impossible to think clearly in a messy space. Science proves clutter increases stress hormones—and no one’s got time for that.

Here are five luxury-inspired ways to clean without overwhelm:

• Try the 5-minute reset: Set a timer and clean one small surface completely. Just one. Often, the energy to continue follows.

• Focus on touchpoints: Wipe door handles, remote controls, and faucet bases—tiny areas, huge impact.

• Tuck things away: Use lidded baskets or trays to corral keys, mail, or skincare. What you see affects how you feel.

• Clear surfaces = clear mind: Keep dining tables, bathroom counters, and nightstands as clutter-free zones.

• Clean as a ritual: Open windows, play soft music, and think of cleaning as an act of self-care, not a chore.

You deserve a home that nurtures your peace of mind, not your to-do list.
