Her tip is simple: Spend about 15 minutes in the evening resetting your home. Not cleaning the whole thing. Just resetting it. She said the biggest mistake people make is thinking they need to do too much. In reality, the goal is just to deal with the most visible signs of the day before they carry over into the next one. That usually means focusing on a few high-impact areas:
- clearing off counters, coffee tables, and dining surfaces
- putting away things that clearly don’t belong in the room
- loading dishes or giving the sink a quick clean
- folding a blanket, fluffing cushions, or straightening the main living space
That’s it. No mopping the floors. No reorganizing cabinets. No trying to “catch up” on everything at once. The idea is to bring the house back to neutral.
Because once the obvious clutter is gone, the entire space feels cleaner, calmer, and much easier on the eyes — even if you only spent a few minutes getting it there.
