My #1 Decluttering Tip


Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 5

Dear Reader,

Almost a decade into my minimalist journey, I am fairly ruthless about getting physical clutter out of my house.

Case in point - yesterday was Valentine's Day. My boys came home with backpacks FULL of valentines, candy, and "treasures". I use the term treasure loosely. But what I see as knick-knacks and junk, they see as something precious.

We took a moment to go through their treasure boxes and play my favorite game "Love Like Maybe No" - using the container concept to decide what stayed and what got trashed.

In fact, the container concept is the #1 tactical decluttering tip that can simplify decluttering. Even a 6 year old can do it!

It's no wonder that my episode about the container concept is one my top downloaded episodes ever! And speaking of episodes...

We just reached 100 episodes and I celebrate on today's podcast with audio clips of the top 10 downloaded episodes of all time!

Thanks so much for all your support on this journey! I couldn't do it without you.

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, Have you ever heard of the Law of Attraction? At its core, it means "like attracts like". If you focus on the things you want in your life (including health, relationships, finances, and more), those things are more likely to come to you. What does the Law of Attraction have to do with decluttering motivation? I'm glad you asked! On the Podcast Decluttering is decision making. Decision making is hard. Therefore, decluttering is not necessarily fun in...

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, Our house is getting packed up on Monday and we are officially moving to Pennsylvania in two weeks. Needless to say, my mind is racing with a million to-do's. Unfortunately, most of the to-do's aren't fun but rather boring "adulting" ones like going to the dump, putting together Banker boxes, and making phone calls. I wish I could have a positive attitude like our friend Ted Lasso... ...but often I find myself unmotivated and procrastinating. So how...
