You can declutter your entire home and still end up right back where you started. I know because I’ve lived it. This episode is the piece that makes everything permanent. I’m teaching you the closing shift, the exit bin, and why stacking habits beats scheduling them every time.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why I went from owning almost nothing to filling up a house, and what finally broke the cycle
• The restaurant-inspired closing shift my family does every night
• What the Lightning Tidy is and how to make it fun for your whole family
• Why the one-in-one-out rule doesn’t work (and what to do instead)
• The habit stacking trick that makes routines stick forever
