Decluttering with Kathi and Learn the 4 Strategies for Staying Clutter Free for Life

with Special Guest Tonya Kubo

With Roger and I holding down the mountain fort amid snow and downed power lines, Clutter Free OG Tonya Kubo is hosting this week’s live decluttering session.

Watch this video to learn how challenges, calendars, checklists and community can help you get back on track with your decluttering goals when you fall off the wagon.

Because — trust me — falling out of our routines is not a matter of IF but WHEN. Life happens to us all. The difference between those who go back to old habits and those who stay clutter free is how you handle it.

Clutter Free For Life:

You’ve been thinking about how this will be the year to finally declutter your house and create the home you’ve always dreamed of. One that is filled with peace instead of stuff.

Is the idea of changing your home something you’d like to start working on? Because, right now, I have a plan that will show you how.

Today, I’m so excited to introduce you to our PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY, Clutter Free for Life. After years of living our Clutter Free lives, Tonya and I decided to create this membership for people who don’t just want to change their homes, but also their habits and minds one day at a time.

One of the biggest factors in clutter, I have come to understand, is decision fatigue. Having to make decisions of not only what you are going to get rid of, but also what room to work on first, how much time to spend decluttering (and when to stop), where to put things? Because when everything feels like it is just completely overwhelming, it is, well, overwhelming.

So, our goal is to take some of those decisions off you.

Our Clutter Free for Life program is based on my book, The Clutter Free Home.

We will spend a day a week cycling through the rooms in your home. Week in and week out. Your entire house will start to become less cluttered and more focused over the course of the year.

And if you’re worried about burning out, we have you covered. We have planned a series of action-oriented challenges to keep you motivated and to boost your decluttering efforts as you make your way through your home for the year.

When you follow the Clutter Free for Life program, after just 12 months, you will have:

Thought through every area of your house and how each space should be used
Worked on decluttering every room of your house
Created routines that not only keep you decluttering your house, but keep up on the spaces that you’ve already decluttered
Found your people – you will be surrounded by other people who are on your Clutter Free journey – and leaders who have turned their lives around

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.

Surrendered: Letting Go and Living Like Jesus

Are you facing a problem in life that you can’t fix, no matter what you do?

Are you disappointed by unchanging circumstances? Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, “Let go and let God,” which suggests that surrender is God’s path for peace for your life. It maybe true, but it’s easier said than done, isn’t it?

In this six-week Bible study, you’ll learn how to let go by exploring Jesus’ time of testing in the wilderness.

As you look to his example, you’ll discover six principles that will equip you to let God lead you to victory as you deal with the problems and pain you are facing. Along the way, you’ll compare Jesus’ responses to those of the Israelites, who also faced a long wilderness season centuries earlier.

This study will equip you to give up control, reach for God, let go of fear, and experience the blessings of the surrendered life. It’s possible to let go and live like Jesus and the result is experience God’s power and peace as never before.

The Simple Difference: How Every Small Kindness Makes a Big Impact

We’ve all got a lot of questions these days: In a world marked by division, how do we create bridges of meaningful connection? When despair runs rampant, is real hope possible? When competition is elevated, is compassion still relevant? And at the end of the day, can one person really make any impact at all?

When the world’s problems loom large and your ordinary life stretches you thin, it is still possible to be a difference-maker–one small, intentional, extravagant act of kindness at a time.

Rather than telling you to do more, The Simple Difference shows you how to see more: more of the people in front of you, more of God’s lavish love for you, more of his power within you. The Simple Difference will help you

– stop getting buried in busyness and distraction and discover countless opportunities for impact right where you are
– remove your perceived limitations and learn to see that your “not-enough” is exactly what the world needs
– discard expectations of what it takes to make a difference and delight in the life-changing power of simple kindness

The Simple Difference isn’t about totally changing the course of your life; it’s about letting God change you and work through you in the midst of your ordinary days. To say, As I go on my way, Lord, have your way with me. Be a part of The Simple Difference movement–your life and the world will never be the same.
