Weeks 1–2 · Easy wins
Bathrooms, medicine cabinets, one kitchen drawer.
The programs, in detail
Four programs of 4 to 10 weeks, all built on short daily tasks and weekly photo reviews.
Program 01 · Start anywhere, finish somewhere
Room by room
We order the house so early wins come fast, then work through it in fifteen-minute pieces. Decisions get easier with practice, which is why we start with the bathroom cabinet rather than the box of photographs.
Weeks 3–5 · Main rooms
Living areas and bedrooms, surface by surface.
Weeks 6–8 · Storage
Closets, the garage, and the places things go to hide.
Weeks 9–10 · Sentimental
The hard category, saved for when the skill is built.
Weeks 1–2 · The paper pile
Keep, scan, shred — with a simple retention rule.
Weeks 3–4 · Digital files
Folders, naming and a backup that runs itself.
Weeks 5–6 · Photos and mail
Taming the photo library and stopping paper at the door.
Program 02 · Find anything in a minute
Paper & digital
Paper and files follow the same rules as physical clutter: fewer categories, obvious homes, and a five-minute weekly reset. We sort what has to be kept for legal or tax reasons, then set up something simple enough that you'll actually use it.
Program 03 · The rooms you use daily
Kitchens & closets
The two highest-traffic areas, done properly. We map how you actually use the space — where you stand, what you reach for daily — and place things accordingly. Storage products come last, if at all; most homes need fewer bins, not more.
Weeks 1–2 · Kitchen zones
Cooking, coffee, lunchboxes: everything within reach of where it's used.
Weeks 3–4 · Pantry and fridge
Visible, rotated, and no more duplicate spices.
Weeks 5–6 · Closets
Daily clothes in front, everything else stored or gone.
Week 1 · The reset
Ten minutes each evening that resets the main rooms.
Week 2 · Inflow
One in, one out, and stopping things at the door.
Week 3 · The household
Getting partners and kids to use the systems too.
Week 4 · The monthly check
A short audit that catches problems while they're small.
Program 04 · For after the decluttering
Systems that hold
Clearing a house is the easy half. This program builds the maintenance: a ten-minute evening reset, a permanent donation box, rules that the rest of the household can follow, and a monthly check that catches drift early.
