Description

Description:

Do you struggle with decluttering?

Does decluttering make you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or anxious?

Do you begin to declutter only to get overwhelmed and end up have even more mess than when you started?

Do you struggle to organize your home because you have chronic medical issues or other life stressors?

Do you find many courses or resources on decluttering, or organizing your home, to go too fast, to be too involved into the process?

Do you feel lost when you try to organize your home? Not sure where to start?

Welcome to the Inside the Clutter Method! This method involves 3 stages for decluttering. Stage 1 is planning and preparing to declutter. Stage 2 is preparing for the emotional overwhelm that comes from decluttering. Stage 3 ties everything together, and approaches decluttering using the work we did in stages 1 and 2.

I understand how difficult it can be to organize your home, to declutter, to make decisions about what to keep, what to throw out, and what items can be donated. I am a multiple brain injury survivor with numerous medical conditions. When I first began decluttering, I could only do the top drawer of my desk. It was so overwhelming, I had to nap after and could not think about decluttering again for months. I spent many years working with different organizers. Through it all, I found what worked for me and what didn't. I can declutter now much more easily and quickly. I eventually created the Inside The Clutter Method. I hope you enjoy it and find something inside that works well for you.
