If decluttering feels overwhelming, the problem may not be how much you have — but where you’re starting. In this episode of the Downsizing Roadmap Podcast, we take a different approach by focusing on tiny, high-impact spots that quietly affect your stress and daily routines. Instead of tackling entire rooms or emotional categories, we walk through 15 small areas — like nightstands, entry drop zones, counters, and drawers — that can be cleared quickly and create immediate relief. These overlooked spaces often create constant friction in everyday life. Clearing them doesn’t take long, but it can make your home feel noticeably lighter right away. This approach is especially helpful if you’re downsizing, preparing for a move, or simply feeling tired of managing your home the way you used to. Pick one tiny spot today and give it ten minutes. The relief adds up faster than you expect.
