Summary

Hey Clutterbugs! It’s time for some decluttering motivation, organizing tips, and a step-by-step January roadmap so you can stop feeling behind and start taking action fast.Happy New Year, friends. Ready for a little tough love Cas (with love)? We’re not doing the “new year, new you” pressure spiral, and we are not making a giant, unrealistic plan for all of 2026. We’re using January as a container and focusing on one small doable decision that you can repeat—because that’s how real change sticks.I’m also introducing what I’m calling the Boss Rule. If you have to negotiate with an item—debate it, justify it, imagine a future version of you who finally fixes it, paints it, returns it, uses it, or finds the “perfect system”—that item is breaking the rule. You’re the CEO of your home. You don’t negotiate with clutter.   #declutter #decluttering #homeorganization #homeorganizing #cleaningmotivation #januaryreset #newyearreset #lifelessons #mindset #newyearmotivation #productivity #toughlove #selfimprovement #declutteringtips #homehacks #clutterbug   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/

Here's what I need you to know before we do anything in 2026. You do not need a perfect plan this year.

0:07.3

You don't have to lose 20 pounds before June. You don't have to become a minimalist. You don't have to

0:13.0

get completely out of debt. You don't have to map out the entire year and have this step by step

0:20.4

system. You only have to do one thing and then

0:25.1

repeat it over and over. That's it. That's the secret. One small, doable decision and then just

0:34.4

repeat it. Today I'm going to give you a roadmap you can actually follow. A real

0:39.9

plan. We are not looking at our entire year. We're not getting overwhelmed. We are creating a container.

0:46.4

Just like when we organize, we have a container to put one category in. We are going to have one

0:52.4

container, one little bin for our goal for January.

0:57.8

We do this thing when we plan, you know, something.

1:00.2

We're like, I'm going to do something amazing this year.

1:02.2

And then we create this plan and we set up this system and we dedicate hours, right?

1:07.3

I'm going to every day spend one hour doing this and two hours doing this and 12 hours

1:12.5

dedicated to what you don't have 12 hours nor will you ever have this extra time. It isn't like

1:20.5

some magical new year and now you've become a different person. We are the same stressed, overwhelmed,

1:26.9

time crunched person that we've always been.

1:30.3

And so how can we make it doable? We really can still have all the things we're craving,

1:35.8

but it has to be realistic. And it has to be planned for our worst day when you're busy and the

1:42.3

kids are sick and you're exhausted and you just don't have it.

1:46.5

If you can follow this really simple roadmap, this will be the year you no longer feel behind.

1:53.1

This will be the year that you stop negotiating with your clutter.

1:57.5

When I say that you aren't going to negotiate with your clutter anymore,
