426 Why does my house feel cluttered again two weeks later?

Ever spent an entire weekend decluttering, only to look around two weeks later and wonder where all the clutter came from? Do you feel like you're constantly tidying but never actually making progress? What if the problem isn't you, but the way you're approaching the declutter in the first place? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/426 In this episode, Ingrid and Lesley tackle one of the most frustrating questions they hear from listeners: why does everything feel messy again so quickly? They'll walk you through the surprising difference between tidying and actual decluttering, reveal the hidden culprit called "churning," and share practical systems that keep clutter from creeping back into your home. This isn't about perfection or spending hours deep-cleaning every surface. It's about understanding the root causes that trip people up and building sustainable habits that actually stick. Ingrid and Lesley break down why decluttering is a process rather than a one-off project, and how creating proper homes for your belongings makes all the difference. They'll also share their favourite daily resets and non-negotiables that keep households running smoothly without adding overwhelm.
