The Power of Starting Small
The Power of Starting Small
When I first began decluttering, I thought I had to tackle everything at once. You know that feeling, standing in front of a closet or a room and thinking, “If I don’t get it all done today, what’s the point?” That mindset kept me stuck for years.
The truth is, when we expect ourselves to clear decades of clutter or change deeply ingrained habits in one big swoop, we set ourselves up for overwhelm. And overwhelm almost always leads to avoidance.
What finally shifted things for me was realizing I didn’t need to do it all. I just needed to do something. One drawer. One pile of laundry. One decision at a time. That’s where the idea of the 10-Minute Club was born, just committing to what you can do in 10 minutes.
Here’s what happens when you start small:
🌿 You build trust with yourself. Every time you complete one tiny step, you prove to yourself that you can follow through. That’s powerful.
🌿 Momentum takes over. Have you ever noticed how clearing one counter makes you want to wipe down the table too? Small steps create ripples.
🌿 The pressure disappears. Instead of staring at a massive project, you shrink it down into something doable. “I’ll just set the timer for 10 minutes” feels a lot gentler than “I have to clean this whole room today.”
I still remember the first time I used this approach in my laundry room. I didn’t have the energy for a full overhaul, so I told myself, “Ten minutes.” I folded what I could, put away what I could, and when the timer went off, I stopped. It wasn’t perfect, but it was better. And the next day, it was even better.
Starting small doesn’t mean you’re thinking small. It means you’re laying the foundation for lasting change. Because here’s the truth: lasting transformation rarely comes from one big leap, it comes from a series of tiny steps you keep showing up for, day after day.
So if you’re looking at your space today and feeling that familiar weight of “too much,” I want you to take a deep breath and remind yourself: I can start small. I can start kind. I can start now.
Because small steps still move you forward. And forward is all that matters.

Testimonials
''I highly recommend her for your
next organizational project!''
''Everyone needs a non-judgmental “best friend” who will work shoulder-to-shoulder with you as you work toward your organizational goals. Julie is that best friend. In the kindest and gentlest way, Julie helped me work through a large project in smaller, more manageable tasks. She kept me focused on the task at hand, dealing with both the physical and emotional attachment I had with some of the items I had held on to for much too long. Whether it’s a short-term or long-term project, Julie can help you get to the finish line! I highly recommend her for your next organizational project!'' - Kathy
''She opened my mind to new tools and strategies into my daily life''
''My experience with Julie was incredible. She is a kind, calming, safe space. I enjoyed the exercise we did together. It really help me view my emotions from a different perspective. She knew what questions to ask and how to help me analyze my feelings. She’s educated in what she does. I would love to do it again with her!! She opened my mind to new tools and strategies into my daily life. ❤️❤️❤️''- Kate
''It quickly gave me perspective on how I allow my emotions take control''
''The exercise was quick and effective. It quickly gave me perspective on how I allow my emotions take control. It’s interesting how I had immediate answers to the questions I was asked. I can only speak for myself, but this changed my thoughts for that day and I was present. I did continue to think about the exercise the following day and tried to remember how I felt when I answered the questions. I believe it was effective. I plan on using that exercise or at least remember what I answered when I feel like I’m spiraling or overthinking my thoughts'' - Maritza
''I feel about myself and take care of myself is related to so many aspects of my life, including my relationships and decluttering my home.''
''Being in this community with Julie’s guidance has helped me to understand about Self Care and Self Love, two concepts that were very foreign to me. I get it know, and I’m learning more all the time about how the way I feel about myself and take care of myself is related to so many aspects of my life, including my relationships and decluttering my home.'' - Laura
