Publisher's summary

Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Thus began a journey toward decluttering her home, calendar, and soul.

With empathy, grace, and humor, Crawford - who curates the popular Abundant Life with Less site - shares doable ways to own less and live more fully. Laying out practical strategies for reducing waste, curbing consumption, decluttering, and finding lots more joy, Crawford offers no-nonsense solutions for the rest of us. Learn to become a more conscious consumer, create a capsule wardrobe, inspire family members to join you, free up more time for the things that matter, and create a tidy(ish) home. The messy minimalist way is a no-judgment zone, one in which we learn sustainable habits and grace-based practices. It's about living lightly on the earth and making room for purpose.

Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. It's about carrying fewer things so that we find ourselves holding onto what truly matters.

More to learn

I’ve been a messy minimalist for more than 5 years but I still learnt so much from this book. Rachelle’s humour and humility is captivating. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Insightful, Honest, and Considerate

This book was the most refreshing and honest take on minimalism that I have ever come across. She discusses how minimalism can fit into the average family, how it helped her, and how to make it stick. She is humorous and the reading feels like you’re talking to a friend. I highly recommend giving this one a go! I have nothing negative to say about it!

Realistic about Letting Go

Minimalism is an aim not a destination. This book makes that more real and worth working towards less. But it is also about realizing it also mixed in accomplishing it all during regular everyday living.

How to Painlessly Declutter

Introduced several new ideas not read about in other declutterring books, and seems relatable. No judgement.
