Decluttering all at once or bit by bit?

[erhlich9788]

Do you prefer cleaning in stages, or do you get it done all at once?

I'm asking bec I just read this blog post about how clutter can actually make us feel more anxious and a bit down. It talked about how a messy space can make it hard to relax or focus and even bring guilt. The blog suggested trying to declutter little by little, starting with small areas first. it was mentioned that clearing things out can lower stress and help create a more peaceful space. Do you agree? Would love hear what worked for everyone here!

Yeah, cluttering can be affect our mood badly, at least for me. As for cleaning, I'm doing in stages because thinking I need to do everything at once is overwhelming.

I usually tackle it in stages, it's less overwhelming and keeps momentum going. Knocking out one drawer or corner at a time really does make the space feel calmer, and the stress relief is noticeable.
