Ep. 210: Clutter Help: What If Clutter Isn’t About Motivation? (Why ‘Just Try Harder’ Keeps Failing)
About this episode
You’ve tried decluttering.
You’ve tried motivation.
But the stuff just keeps coming back.
What if the problem isn’t you?
What if the reason you can’t keep up… is because you were never meant to?
In this episode, we unpack the real reason clutter keeps returning—and it’s not about trying harder. It’s about capacity, nervous system load, and how your current season is silently shaping your decisions.
