Kathi and her favorite “clutter-buster,” Roger Lipp are preparing and equipping us for the One day Master List Challenge that will take place on July 20th over in Clutter Free Academy. Get ready for the challenge and join in the conversation to find out why Kathi says: “my lists give life” and: 

  • How a master list is like jazz
  • Why our list should meet in the middle of an Actual List and an Aspirational List
  • How to break down and divide your list into doable goals 

Then, make sure to join us live on Facebook for an even deeper dive into decluttering our storage on Wednesday, July 20th.

The Clutter Free Home: Making Room for Your Life

 

When it comes to your home, peace is possible…

Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home. 

Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality.  Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.

621 – Unlocking the Secrets of Successful Gardening with AIHave ever struggled to turn your dream garden into a reality? What if we told you that there's a new secret weapon that can help you achieve gardening success like never before? That's right, we're talking...

520: Clutter and Creativity

How Decluttering Helps the Creative Process

Kathi Lipp is talking with Clutter Free community leader, friend, and screenwriter, Grace Church, about how decluttering and creativity can actually help one another. Have you ever struggled to balance decluttering time and creative time? You are not alone. In this episode, Kathi and Grace share how they have found that balance by:

  • Shifting their mentality
  • Doing a little bit every day
  • Establishing routines

If you’ve ever found your creativity blocked by the clutter around you, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Clutter Free: Quick and Easy Steps to Simplifying Your Space

 

If you’ve ever wished you could clear out your clutter, simplify your space, and take back your life, Kathi Lipp’s new book has just the solutions you need. Building off the success of her The Get Yourself Organized Project, this book will provide even more ideas for getting your life and your stuff under control.

Do any of these descriptions apply to you?

  • You bought a box of cereal at the store, and then discovered you have several boxes at home that are already past the “best by” date.
  • You bought a book and put it on your nightstand (right on top of ten others you’ve bought recently), but you have yet to open it.
  • You keep hundreds of DVDs around even though you watch everything online now and aren’t really sure where the remote for the DVD player is.
  • You spend valuable time moving your piles around the house, but you can never find that piece of paper when you need it.
  • Your house doesn’t make you happy when you step into it.

As you try out the many easy, doable solutions that helped Kathi win her battle with clutter, you’ll begin to understand why you hold on to the things you do, eliminate what’s crowding out real life, and make room for the life of true abundance God wants for you.

518: A Complete Guide to “No Buy July”

Part 1

Kathi is joined on the podcast today by two intrepid guides of Clutter Free Academy and Clutter Free for Life. Grace Church and Deanna Day Young are true long-time listeners and first-time guests here to offer inspiring and relatable insights from their own clutter free journey. Listen in as Kathi, Grace, and Deanna explain No Buy July through the four key principles: 

  • Use it up 
  • Wear it out
  • Make do 
  • Do without 

Be sure to come back next week as we continue this discussion on how to strategically participate in the No Buy July.

Overwhelmed: How to Quiet the Chaos and Restore Your Sanity

 

Feeling overwhelmed? Wondering if it’s possible to move from “out of my mind” to “in control” when you’ve got too many projects on your plate and too much mess in your relationships?

Kathi and Cheri want to show you five surprising reasons why you become stressed, why social media solutions don’t often work, and how you can finally create a plan that works for you. As you identify your underlying hurts, uncover hope, and embrace practical healing, you’ll become equipped to:

  • trade the to-do list that controls you for a calendar that allows space in your life
  • decide whose feedback to forget and whose input to invite
  • replace fear of the future with peace in the present

You can simplify and savor your life—guilt-free! Clutter, tasks, and relationships may overwhelm you now, but God can help you overcome with grace.

Kathi and Cheri Gregory, co-author of Overwhelmed, get together for this episode for a little discussion regarding the concepts of being overwhelmed and being clutter-free. So often we find that our clutter overwhelms us and that being overwhelmed contributes to our clutter. It can be a vicious cycle.

Kathi and Cheri discuss five steps to keep from getting overwhelmed as you declutter your home, your heart, and your life. Order your copy of Overwhelmed here.

Kathi is back today for part 2 of “What to Watch While You Declutter” with author and host of “The Couch with Mary Carver” podcast, Mary Carver. Last week, in part 1, the pair gave us criteria for shows we should avoid trying to declutter to. Today, they bring us hope by telling us what we should look for in a show to decluttering to, as well as a ton of great shows they personally recommend. Listen in as Kathi and Mary explain the categories:

  • Competition Shows
  • “60%” Shows
  • Treadmill Shows

Once you have found your 22-minute declutter show, Kathi explains how to make that timeframe work with the Clutter Free Academy method of decluttering for 15 minutes; and you are going to love how she suggests spending the extra 7 minutes.

What show will be your new decluttering show? Tell us in the comments and be automatically entered to win a copy of Mary Carver’s new (in)Courage Bible Study book: “Create in Me a Heart of Hope.”

Kathi Lipp is here today with one of her new favorite people, author Mary Carver, to talk about what to watch while decluttering. Are you the kind of person who needs more than a playlist of worship music to declutter to? Maybe you enjoy a good television show to keep you company while you declutter, but you’re not sure how to strategically choose a show that will allow you to stay on task. In part one of this two-part series, Kathi and Mary share their criteria for shows that you should avoid watching while you declutter including:

  • Shows you’re excited about
  • Shows with complicated plotlines
  • Subtitles

We’d love to know what shows you would add to their list. What shows do you avoid watching while you declutter?
