The Californer/10335285

VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- As families look toward a fresh start in 2026, home organization and decluttering continue to rank among the most common New Year's resolutions, yet most households feel far from organized. According to a 2025 ZipDo Education Report, 80% of Americans admit to experiencing stress because of clutter; 75% say their homes are cluttered enough to cause stress; and 70% report that clutter negatively impacts their happiness. Only 39% of Americans say their homes feel well-organized while nearly half report difficulty finding items, spending an average of 55 minutes each day searching for misplaced belongings.

Declutter one room at a time – Avoid becoming overwhelmed by focusing on a single space, moving items you're unsure about into a PODS portable storage container to clear the room while you decide what stays.

Create temporary storage zones – Use a PODS container as a dedicated space for seasonal decor, extra furniture, or rarely used items, keeping your home functional while you reorganize.

Sort before you store – Take advantage of PODS' on-site storage option to sort belongings at your own pace, without the pressure of strict moving or storage deadlines.
