What Is the Best Decluttering Method?
Decluttering is a very rewarding experience. Purchasing less and experiencing more have shown to have health benefits and make us feel emotionally fulfilled. Purchasing less also impacts the environment as we move away from consumerism. There are many methods for decluttering. Let’s look at a few of them.
What Should I Remove First When Decluttering?
Clothing is worn close to our bodies and, therefore, close to our hearts. By decluttering clothing first, we get in touch with our heart center. Digging deeper, it is most important to start decluttering with the clothing worn on the upper body. This is where we get in touch with ourselves. Based on the KonMari Method® by Marie Kondo.

What is the First Thing to Declutter?
When we approach a new client, we often discuss which direction they would prefer to go. Some of our clients prefer to use the KonMari Method®. The KonMari Method® moves in a sequence. This sequence is: Clothes, Books, Papers, Konomo (Miscellaneous Items) and finally, Sentimental Items.
How Can I Declutter My Life and Reduce Stress?
Let’s face it. Clutter is stressful. It overtakes your life and makes it feel heavy, cumbersome, and difficult to manage. The more clutter you have, the heavier your life can feel. For that reason, it’s extremely important to take an approach to decluttering that confronts all the places clutter can collect. Really, it’s all about decluttering your life.
Make Space for Abundance by Decluttering
When you have more space around you, you have more space in your mind to think clearly, calmly, and from a fresh perspective. This serves you in making decisions, large or small, and moves your life forward. When you are overwhelmed with clutter, it’s hard to think clearly. We teach you ways to keep your mind focused and clear.
Wabi-Sabi and Kintsugi Help You Embrace Imperfection
The philosophy of Wabi-Sabi applies not only to nature but to our living spaces. Beauty is expressed in the minimal and simple. It increases our appreciation of simplicity. The blank wall with one work of art. One treasured keepsake on the desk. One elegant flower in a thin vase alone on a bare table. All simple, yet so beautiful.
Don’t Put It Down, Put It Away
By putting things away instead of putting them down, we are able to stop clutter in its tracks. Clutter tends to accumulate when we do not put things back in their designated spot or they do not have a spot to live in. Everything needs to have a home so it has a space to accommodate it. That trick reduces clutter and disorganization.

This, in a nutshell, saves you money and waste. We help you organize and declutter, create a home where you actually know what you own, and why you own it.
The KonMari Method® - Abbreviated
The KonMari Method® (by Marie Kondo) is a very cool process. It actually works. I’ve been trained in the method, and have achieved the Master Organizer distinction. It’s 1500 hours of work, lots of clients, and multiple reporting sessions. I find that each organizing opportunity gives me insight into the way people think about clutter.
How Do I Organize and Declutter By Myself?
Here is the first question to ask yourself when deciding to tackle decluttering and organizing by yourself: what does my ideal life look like? This is the first question the KonMari Method® asks, too. If we imagine our ideal lifestyle, we are able to take steps to organize our homes in ways that reflect how we truly want to live our lives.
Why Do I Feel So Overwhelmed By Clutter?
Not only does clutter take up space in your home, it takes up energy. Lots of it. Clutter gets in the way of moving forward in life and makes you feel “stuck” because it’s always pulling you down. It needs attention. It begs for it. When clutter gets this heavy, it’s time to make a change. It’s time to declutter.
The Uncluttered Life® and Our Organizing Philosophy
Many of us hold on to images and concepts of ourselves that no longer apply. We also hold on to clutter that reinforces that image. Holding on to things that no longer serve us keeps us “stuck” in certain emotional and physical places and patterns. It’s often tough to get out from under these patterns. We offer suggestions that help.
