drawer and focusing only on that small area to start. Giving yourself a scheduled time allows for more work to be done without distractions, and you can compete with yourself to see how much you can get done. Extra stuff isn’t just messy, but could be holding you back from living your best life.

Best of luck tidying up! Start small, be consistent, and remember you are doing this to enjoy your space and your life.
