Feeling overwhelmed by clutter? You’re not alone. Studies show that physical clutter creates mental clutter, increasing stress levels and reducing focus. Today’s micro-shift is simple but powerful: declutter just one drawer.

Why This Matters

🧠Clutter increases cortisol, the stress hormone, making you feel more anxious and distracted.
💡 Even small decluttering wins create a ripple effect, helping you feel more in control.
✔ Studies show that cleaning even one small space improves mood and productivity.

Your home should feel like a place of peace, not a storage unit for things you don’t use. Today’s challenge helps you start small and build momentum.

Your Challenge: Declutter One Drawer

Pick one drawer—your nightstand, junk drawer, or even your Tupperware cabinet.
✔ Take everything out.
✔ Decide what stays, what gets tossed, and what needs a new home.
✔ Put it back neatly.

That’s it! One small win, but a big step toward a more organized, balanced space.

The Science Behind It

🔹 A UCLA study found that people who live in cluttered spaces have higher cortisol levels throughout the day.
🔹 Decluttering improves mental clarity and lowers stress.
🔹 When you start small, it’s easier to keep going—momentum builds motivation.

Make This Shift Stick

• Set a 10-minute timer. You don’t need hours—just commit to 10 minutes.
• Use small organizers. Keeping things tidy is easier with dividers or bins.
• One drawer at a time. Today it’s one, tomorrow maybe another!
