Smart Reduction

Can we do it later?

The Clutternomics Decision Process

Deciding what to keep and what to let go of isn’t a one-size-fits-all process.

It often requires deep contemplation.

That’s why I developed the Clutternomics system.

Here are some questions we’ll explore:
What’s the value of holding on to an item?
What’s the cost of keeping it?
Is it increasing or declining in value?
Could someone else benefit more from it?
What’s the replacement cost if you want it back?
Have you used it in the last 12 months?
Is it part of your family history?
What is its true worth today?

Avoiding the Landfill

Here’s how we can rehome your items:
Consignment & Donations:
Find new homes for your items.
Recycling:
Use recycling centers wherever possible.
Garage/Estate Sales:
Host sales to declutter and earn.
Online Sales:
Post ads on Craigslist and eBay.
Lending:
Share items with others who need them.
Repair Clubs:
Support local repair initiatives.

What I do
Step-by-Step

I take a holistic view of your life.
Where are you now? What are your ambitions?
I don’t just ask tough questions; I provide solutions and help implement them.

01.

Initial Consultation 

Let’s start with a chat about your goals.
Are you looking to simply purge, or do you want to transform your way of living?
Do you feel overwhelmed and need clarity?

We’ll discuss whether we’re focusing on physical items, digital assets, or both.

Together, we’ll outline the best approach to begin your journey towards simplification and transformation.

02.

Taking Inventory

You’ll guide me through your space, highlighting what works and what doesn’t.

We’ll reimagine your environment and develop a tailored organization plan designed to meet your unique needs and preferences.

03.

Sorting & Categorizing

By grouping items into categories, we can identify duplicates, prioritize what’s important, and determine the space needed for each category.

I’ll create a system that fits your lifestyle and maximizes the use of your space.

We’ll explore questions like:
What organizational system suits you best?
How can we optimize your space?

04.

Decision Time  

Now comes the critical part: deciding what to keep, donate, recycle, or discard.

We’ll use my Clutternomics system, a method to help you evaluate each item.

While I’ll provide guidance, the final decision is yours. 

05.

Purging

It’s time for the heavy lifting! 

We’ll clear out the unnecessary items, freeing up space and helping you feel lighter and more liberated.

We’ll try to keep as many items out of the landfill as possible and give them another life.

06.

Restoring

With the clutter gone, we’ll thoughtfully place your remaining items back into your space, whether in their original spots or newly designated areas.

The goal is a functional, organized, and serene environment.

07.

Feel Good and Tell Others 

You’ve initiated this transformation and achieved a more functional home.

Now, it’s time to celebrate your accomplishments.

Share your journey to inspire others to embark on their own path to simplification.

Take Action

For Your Consideration:
Two Must-Have Boxes 

Usually, I encourage thinking outside the box. But here, we need two special boxes:

Box 1: Contains passwords, your will, funeral directions, and anything else essential for managing your transition after passing.

Box 2: Holds personal documents to be disposed of after your passing—letters, diaries, and other items highly relevant while alive but not needed after.

The same applies to digital organizing. Box 1 includes directions on finding and managing your digital legacy.

Everything else goes in Box 2 to be erased. Imagine being evacuated due to a natural disaster.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have these boxes ready?

Of course I can help you to prepare these boxes.
