5 Key Areas I’m Decluttering Before School Starts (Because Chaos Isn’t the Vibe)

Author: Joelle Suess | Podcast Producer & Entrepreneur August 21, 2025 Duration: 11:48
In this episode, I’m walking you through the five spots I’m decluttering and resetting before the school year kicks off — because let’s be honest, mornings are already wild enough without tripping over shoes or digging through a messy pantry. These are the zones I’m focusing on to make the back-to-school transition smoother and saner for everyone: The kids’ closets and drawers (because suddenly nothing fits??) Our backpack and shoe storage (aka the disaster zone by the door) The pantry — think easy grab-and-go lunch prep + after-school snack flow My car, which has become a traveling trash can this summer The drop zone where backpacks and shoes should land after school I’m also sharing little tips that help me keep these spaces tidy (without having to overhaul them again next week) and why setting up a few of these systems ahead of time makes such a difference in how we all show up. Let’s get organized — and stay in sync — for the season ahead.✨ Thanks for listening! Come say hi over on Instagram: [@joellesuess] and share what YOU’RE resetting before school starts!
