About this episode
In this episode, Jess Przulj discusses the mental exhaustion of home organization and how habit stacking can alleviate decision fatigue for busy moms.
Hey momma! Do you ever feel like you spend your entire day cleaning… only for your house to look destroyed again an hour later? Have you ever wondered why organization feels so mentally exhausting even when you’re trying so hard to stay on top of things? In this episode, we’re talking about the mental load behind keeping up with a home full of kids and why it’s not actually the cleaning itself that wears us out, it’s the constant decision fatigue. I’m sharing how quickly our homes can spiral from Cheerios on the floor to Legos all over the living room, why our brains feel stuck in “scan mode” all day long, and how trying to manage every single thing we see is actually pulling us away from the routines that matter most. Ultimately, I’m challenging you to stop trying to manage everything all at once. Just because you see something doesn’t mean it needs your attention right now. Start paying attention to the routine you’re in, the outcome you’re working toward, and the distractions that are constantly pulling you away from it. If you haven’t grabbed the Declutter Scorecard yet, this is the perfect episode to pair it with because we’re talking all about the mental clutter that comes…
