✨🏡10 Clues You Have Too Many Things in Your Home ✨🏡

1. You’re buying duplicates… again.

-If you’ve purchased the same item twice because you “swear you had one,” that’s a classic clutter clue.

2. You can’t put things away because there’s literally no space left.

-A full drawer is normal. A full drawer plus a countertop = too much.

3. You avoid certain rooms.

-If you close the door instead of dealing with it, that’s your home begging for a reset.

4. You can’t find things you use all the time.

-Keys, chargers, water bottles, hair ties — if they always go missing, clutter is hiding them.

5. Your surfaces don’t stay clear for more than a day.

-Piles creep back instantly because there’s no system underneath.

6. You feel anxious or irritated when you walk into your own house.

-Your space should support you, not stress you out.

7. You’re “saving” things for someday… but someday never comes.

-If it’s been years, it’s not a future-use item — it’s clutter in a costume.

8. Your laundry keeps multiplying.

-Too many clothes = too much laundry = too much overwhelm.

9. You have unopened boxes or bags from months ago.

-If you haven’t needed what’s inside yet, you probably don’t need it.

10. You feel guilty letting things go.

-Guilt keeps clutter in your home longer than anything else — gifts, purchases, sentimental items. When you feel that twinge, it’s a sign.
