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 provided. I revealed articles thrice per week and made them freely accessible to anybody who subscribed by electronic mail. (You continue to can, by the best way.)
However an internet site constructed on one-off articles has its limits. It turns into a stream of consciousness—matters shared in no explicit order, merely based mostly on what I used to be studying, serious about, or desirous 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 an increasing number of emails asking, “Do you’ve gotten any articles about _____?” And sometimes, I did—they have been simply buried in the Archives.
So in 2016, I revealed The Extra of Much less: Discovering the Life You Need Underneath The whole lot You Personal. The guide laid out a simple argument for the way proudly owning much less helps us pursue larger and higher desires for our lives.
I hoped it might encourage many individuals to embrace a brand new way of life. With over 100,000 copies offered, I’d say that’s a fairly good begin.
However because the guide and weblog gained readers, I started to note one thing.
Many individuals had examine minimalism and needed the advantages of it—however nonetheless struggled to place the ideas into observe.
So 9 years in the past, I launched an answer: The Uncluttered Course.
I created the course to supply the whole lot a guide, weblog submit, or YouTube video can’t: construction, accountability, weekly challenges, a supportive neighborhood, and a chance 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 all the time reply the identical means: “I could have offered inspiration and construction—however you probably did the arduous 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 your entire journey somebody may undergo—from first listening to about minimalism, to decluttering their house, to constructing long-term habits that keep a clutter-free life, to ultimately inviting others into its advantages.
Irrespective 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 net 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 house.
Generally that’s as a result of they really feel caught. Different occasions it’s as a result of they want private assist. 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 arduous to elucidate to somebody that the objective isn’t higher group—it’s proudly owning much less.
The world wants extra Skilled Declutterers.
So over the previous two years, I’ve been coaching each professionals and passionate people in my strategy to decluttering and minimalism.
Throughout our reside skilled trainings, I work immediately with contributors—instructing the simplest strategies I’ve discovered to assist individuals personal much less and reside extra.
At present, practically 100 people have accomplished the coaching. They reside all around the world and are outfitted to come back into your property (or work nearly) to stroll with you step-by-step by means of the method.

In fact, that is their livelihood. Hiring somebody for individualized assist will value greater than a guide or course designed for a bigger viewers. However in case you’re caught, the funding is price it—in your house, your peace, your time, and your life.
*I don’t obtain any fee from their work.
Every of those professionals has my full suggestion. I’ve skilled them personally. They’ve confirmed their understanding of my strategies. And I imagine they will help you.
