It took me three days to declutter the mudroom—about 45 mindful minutes. Today, I organized my cleaning products. I know it’ll get messy again but right now I feel good knowing I can find what I need and not trip over shoes and anything else that piles into this high traffic area.

If I would have waited for a larger chunk of time to tackle the mudroom, it wouldn’t have happened. What this 10-minute daily decluttering is teaching me is that it’s better to do a little than nothing at all.

There’s a sense of space here. Simplicity in open areas. Calmness instead of chaos. Mindfulness in the mudroom.

Next up? Two mysterious boxes.
