Hey guys!

Today we're continuing our special bedroom decluttering week and working on Zone Two of the primary bedroom — all the surfaces.

This includes:

nightstands
dressers
shelves
the bed (if things collect there)
any flat surface in the room

This is part of the purge phase of our decluttering process. These are longer, contained sessions (about 2–3 hours), different from daily habit decluttering.

Why bedroom surfaces fill up

Bedroom surfaces tend to collect clutter because the bedroom feels private and protected. It's a space where decisions can be delayed without being questioned.

The things that end up here are often:

important
unfinished
something we don't want to forget
or something we're not ready to deal with yet

Today's episode focuses on learning how to stay present long enough to decide, without pushing or abandoning yourself.

What we do in Zone Two

This is not about organizing or creating perfect systems.

It is about:

categorizing
sorting by destination
reducing visual noise
creating mental clarity

You'll be guided through:

how to set up your supplies
how to regulate your nervous system before you start
how to move through surfaces one item at a time
how to stop when your timer goes off

Supplies mentioned

Post-its (to label destinations)
A pen
A task list or notebook
A trash bag

Optional but helpful:

Boxes or bins
Gallon and sandwich-size Ziploc bags for small items
