498: When You Feel Guilty Getting Rid of Stuff Part 2

Kathi and Tonya are back for part two of how to get rid of your clutter without feeling guilty about it. In episode 1, the duo gave us the hierarchy of getting rid of stuff – give it away, sell it, pitch it. But what happens when you can’t seem to let it go because it feels wasteful? Listen in as Kathi and Tonya give great advice on how to get past the mental blocks that cause us decluttering resistance such as: 

 

  • Environmental impact
  • Money spent
  • Guilt

 

If you feel stuck in your decluttering journey, this series is one you’ll want to put on repeat!

THE CLUTTER-FREE HOME

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!

496: 1 Day Declutter Your Pop Up Clutter Free Focus:
The Great 100 Item Cupboard Clean Out

Kathi and Tonya are here today with details on the upcoming “Great 100 Item Cupboard Clean-Out!” On Wednesday January 26th, Kathi Lipp and Tonya Kubo are hosting a friendly challenge in Clutter Free Academy. You mission, should you choose to accept it: get rid of 100 items in your kitchen. It’s time to throw out those extra soy sauce packets, expired items, donate-able items, and takeout menus (you can find those menus on the Internet anyway). Listen in as the pair give all the details and guidelines for a successful kitchen clean-out.

 

Now, gather your supplies – some of Kathi’s go-to suggestions include:

 

  • Garbage can/recycling can
  • A box for food bank donations
  • A black marker and labeling tape
  • Plastic containers (Kathi’s favorite are the OXO Containers)
You got this!

 

 

Clutter Free: Quick and Easy Steps for Simplifying Your Space

If you’ve ever wished you could clear out your clutter, simplify your space, and take back your life, Kathi Lipp 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.

493: The Four Critical Strategies You Will Need to Stay Clutter Free for Life:

Part 2

Kathi and Tonya are back in part 2 of the four critical strategies we need for staying clutter free for life. Last week, in part 1, we unlocked the secret key of challenges and talked about the power of a calendar. 

Fighting clutter is more about how we deal with it on a regular basis than about our circumstances and situations, yet for some reason, we allow our clutter to cause us to feel shame. One of the best ways we can combat that shame is with the motivation and encouragement that comes through the power of community.

There are a million different cluttery circumstances. The Clutter Free For Life Community has people from all kinds of backgrounds, and they really get it. It is really a place to find your people and gain:

 

  • Great Community that really understands 
  • Checklists that keep you on track 
  • Interactive coaching sessions

 

Is a clutter free home on your Christmas wishlist? Clutter Free For Life is on sale until January 6th! 

 

Let me ask you a question:

  • Is your house the way you want it to be going into 2022?
  • Is your house the sanctuary you want it to be?
  • Do you have a plan to get your house decluttered and organized in a way that makes you feel happy and in control?

 

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
