My family spends a lot of time at home—more than most families. My wife homeschools our four kids, and I work remotely from a room on the main floor for 40 hours a week. That’s six people within the same four walls for most of the day. We quickly realized that the state of our home had a big impact on how we felt.
When things got messy and chaotic, with piles of clutter accumulating from our busy children, we felt more stress than usual. When we did manage to tidy up things and restore our home to order, we genuinely felt lighter, as if a burden had been lifted.
