For the previous 15 years, the driving ardour behind this web site has been easy: to encourage and assist individuals personal much less and reside extra.
I hope, in a method or one other, it’s been useful to you in your pursuit.
At first, this weblog was the one useful resource I supplied. I printed articles 3 times per week and made them freely accessible to anybody who subscribed by e-mail. (You continue to can, by the way in which.)
However a web site constructed on one-off articles has its limits. It turns into a stream of consciousness—matters shared in no specific order, merely based mostly on what I used to be studying, fascinated by, or eager to articulate on the time.
The articles have been useful—and nonetheless are—however now, simply 30 in need of 1,000 posts, they are often tough to navigate. I began receiving increasingly more emails asking, “Do you will have any articles about _____?” And infrequently, I did—they have been simply buried in the Archives.
So in 2016, I printed The Extra of Much less: Discovering the Life You Need Below Every little thing You Personal. The e book laid out an easy argument for a way proudly owning much less helps us pursue greater and higher desires for our lives.
I hoped it will encourage many individuals to embrace a brand new way of life. With over 100,000 copies bought, I’d say that’s a reasonably good begin.
However because the e book and weblog gained readers, I started to note one thing.
Many individuals had examine minimalism and wished the advantages of it—however nonetheless struggled to place the rules into observe.
So 9 years in the past, I launched an answer: The Uncluttered Course.
I created the course to offer the whole lot a e book, weblog put up, or YouTube video can’t: construction, accountability, weekly challenges, a supportive neighborhood, and a possibility to ask questions and really feel heard.
The course has modified numerous lives. I nonetheless obtain emails that say, “I took your Uncluttered Course in 20xx and it modified my life.”
And I at all times reply the identical approach: “I’ll have offered inspiration and construction—however you probably did the exhausting work.”
A number of years in the past, in 2023, I sat down with a pen and paper and requested myself a brand new query: What extra may I do to assist individuals personal much less?
I mapped out the complete journey somebody would possibly undergo—from first listening to about minimalism, to decluttering their residence, to constructing long-term habits that preserve a clutter-free life, to ultimately inviting others into its advantages.
Regardless of the place somebody finds themselves on that path, I wish to assist them take their subsequent step.
That course of led me to a realization: As a lot as I really like this weblog, the books, and the web course, there are nonetheless some individuals who want one thing extra private of their journey.
They don’t wish to undergo the method alone. They don’t wish to determine it out on-line.
They need in-person assist. One-on-one. Of their precise residence.
Generally that’s as a result of they really feel caught. Different occasions it’s as a result of they want private help. And generally, they’re simply too busy to do it on their very own.
Sadly, {many professional} organizers are targeted on organizing what we already personal—not serving to us take away what we don’t want. It may be exhausting to elucidate to somebody that the purpose isn’t higher group—it’s proudly owning much less.
The world wants extra Skilled Declutterers.

In fact, that is their livelihood. Hiring somebody for individualized help will value greater than a e book or course designed for a bigger viewers. However in case you’re caught, the funding is price it—in your residence, your peace, your time, and your life.
