501: Back to Basics

Asking Yourself the 3 Clarifying Questions as You Declutter

Kathi and her best friend, Roger Lipp, are taking the clutter free journey back to the basics. Do you need specific criteria to guide your decision making for what to keep and what to get rid of? Kathi and Roger are here to remind us of the three clarifying questions we should be asking ourselves as we declutter. Join in the conversation to learn the art of how to keep the best and get rid of the rest by knowing and practicing these three questions as you declutter:

  • Do I love it?
  • Do I use it? 
  • Would I buy it again?

Listen in as Kathi and Roger explain how asking yourself these three questions can get you past the mental block of clearing out your clutter.

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.

497: When You Feel Guilty Getting Rid of Stuff Part 1

Kathi and her Clutter Free OG, Tonya Kubo, are here to help us get rid of the clutter, and the guilt, at the same time. Kathi’s number one goal for herself and us is to only have things in the house that we use, love, or would buy again. A functional home is a home you can be at peace in. We can all achieve this by:

 

  • Getting intentional at giving stuff away
  • Selling stuff – but only if you’re good at it!
  • If you can’t give it away or sell it in 3 days… Donate it or Trash it!

 

You won’t want to miss these valuable tips, and be sure to listen next week for part 2!
