Summary

Ready to start 2025 with more clarity and calm?

Let’s be real—the holidays, as joyful as they are, can leave our homes (and our minds) feeling a little full. Between the decorations, the gifts, and the aftermath of hosting or traveling, you might be craving a reset right about now. If so, you’re in the right place!

In today’s short and sweet episode, I’m sharing a simple, stress-free strategy that’ll help you reset your home and create a fresh start for 2025. Whether your dining table is buried under leftover wrapping paper or your kitchen counters look like they hosted the entire holiday season, this strategy will help you:

Bring your home back to a manageable, feel-good baseline—without spending hours cleaning.
Identify sneaky clutter that doesn’t belong anymore.
Build daily rhythms that make your space feel calm, clear, and inviting.

I’ll walk you through exactly how to get started with quick and easy “Daily Resets,” including how to:

Choose the right Reset Zones in your home—and why small, focused actions make the biggest impact.
Decide how often to reset each zone based on your home’s unique rhythm.
Anchor your resets to routines you already have, so they feel automatic (not like another to-do).

Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s episode:

Why quick “Daily Resets” are the ultimate clutter-busting hack for your home.
Simple, actionable strategies to make resets part of your everyday routine—without overwhelm.
How resets can give you clarity and help you tackle bigger decluttering projects with confidence.

Ready to reset, refresh, and start 2025 feeling lighter? Let’s do this!
