Shame creeps in when we start connecting our surroundings to our worth. A messy kitchen becomes "I'm failing at being a mom." But clutter is just stuff in the wrong place, or too much stuff for the space it's in.

Save yourself time, money, and frustration by focusing on only the swaps that make a real difference.
