This week, we’re throwing it back to one of our most talked-about topics: the 5 Clutter Pitfalls.These are the sneaky little roadblocks that keep us from tackling our clutter and staying organized—and trust me, we’ve all fallen into one or more of these traps.

✔️ The 5 major clutter pitfalls holding you back
✔️ Why procrastination and indecision are besties with clutter
