**********************
If clutter is causing stress in your home - and let’s face it, the science shows us that clutter makes it more difficult to relax, unwind and enjoy our time together - then it’s time to deal with it. But, with our already busy schedules, finding time to declutter and organize our homes is difficult to say the least.
Time is our most precious asset. And it’s important to everyone. No matter where you are from, or how much money you have, or how big your family is, or what you want out of life.
We never seem to have enough of it and we can’t stockpile it. The only thing we can do is make the most of it. Today’s episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show explores 13 tips, ideas, hacks, and techniques to find more time in your super busy schedules so you can declutter and get your home in order. And I promise, that once your home has less stuff in it, and you have the space to breathe, you will have more time...it’s almost like magic. But, as with anything it requires that we put in some effort.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:
- How busy families find time to declutter
- 13 strategies you can use to get your home decluttered and organize your home
- Why decluttering will help increase your free time in your home
- How to take some shortcuts and why they are the key to decluttering quickly
- A simple game to play with your whole family so you can declutter faster than you thought possible

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Clutter makes us a bit crazy. When we look around our homes and there is stuff everywhere it’s impossible to relax. There’s a pile in the living room to deal with, laundry to fold and put away, the kitchen counter is loaded up with stuff, and the toys...don’t even get me started on the toys. Somehow they end up EVERYWHERE!
All of this exterior clutter adds to a whole lot of mental clutter too.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to why decluttering is a must for busy families - moms especially.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show explores 7 physical and 7 mental benefits of decluttering and they might surprise you. In fact, I would go so far as to say they are game-changing reasons to finally cut the clutter so you can live the life you really want to be living.
Time and time again I hear from overwhelmed parents, who tell me that they are exhausted, burnt out, and stretched too thin. My first piece of advice is always to get your home and life decluttered.

Do you watch those Tiny Living shows on HGTV or browse tiny homes on Instagram and dream of living small yourself? The homes look so quaint and relaxing and the people living in them swear they are like a secret to finding happiness.
I have always been curious about the movement myself and wanted to see what it was really like.
The best way to see what it’s like is to try it on for size and that’s exactly what we did! This summer I embarked on a tiny living experiment with my husband, our daughter, and my parents. While we did not live in the RV long term - and I do not live with my parents in regular life - we did live in it long enough to get a good idea of what full time living would be like.
These are the top 10 lessons I learned from living tiny that I am taking into my everyday life of living as a wannabe minimalist. Some you are probably expecting, but some may come as a surprise.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:
- What it’s really like to live tiny as a family
- The most important thing to remember when living tiny
- Why living tiny may not be for everyone
- How to see through what others are saying to find what you really want
- A simple hack that works for every home - not just tiny ones.
