We reveal the top 5 anxiety-inducing clutter zones in a family’s home. Researchers from UCLA did a study of how families live, what they keep in their homes and how they use the different spaces.

We’ll share the findings and talk about how to deal with the biggest clutter culprits in our homes.

Sentimental items are one of the toughest things to minimize. This week, we discuss those items that are saturated in memories: the coffee cup from college, the cabbage patch doll from our childhood, your wedding dress, your grandmother’s costume jewelry, your daughter’s artwork from preschool, or a clipping from your son’s first haircut. Do we purge them? Do we store them? What do we do with them? We hope this conversation will inspire you to look at what you’re holding tight to and what you may (may) be able to part with.
