Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your life? A pile of laundry on the floor, a stack of papers on the table, or just too much stuff? You are not alone. The tough part is, you know that shoving it all out of sight isn’t enough—you need to start throwing things away. But you don’t have to become a minimalist. You just need to learn how to remove the excess, so you have more time for what is important in your life. And that’s just what this course teaches you.

Sophie Largen has made it her passion project to help motivate and encourage others by providing tips for efficient cleaning, organizing, and productivity. This practical guide will walk you through decluttering your spaces step by step. It will help you work through common pitfalls, and it will provide you with a plan for success for achieving a simplified—and more joyous—life.

Sophie starts by helping you build a road map and a schedule that are attainable for you and your family. She then shares her favorite decluttering strategies, providing exercises and asking questions to get you through challenges, such as parting with sentimental items. She then offers tools and techniques to help you maintain the organization and simplified life you’ve established.

By the end of this course, you may find yourself with new problems, like what to do with all your extra free time and that newly emptied drawer!

Actually Helpful

I have listened and read many organizing/ dec littering books. They all pretty much help in some way if not just to help me focus. This one was VERY short but also VERY helpful. I love the organizational map /zones of the house and the methodical way to handle organizing and decluttering. I love that she takes us through a peaceful process and at a peaceful pace! Very doable. I love the visual Sophie painted of what life looks like when we lose the clutter. I can’t believe I am saying this but I am actually excited about doing some decluttering.

Helpful, concise and awesome

Loved this read. Especially how useful the tips and insight were. I enjoyed the ability to work through it with the author and also by virtue of it being concise, you can refer back as needed.

A good quick and easy refresher even for experienced organizers

The program is only about an hour but definitely covers great hi-lights in how to get organized and stay organized.

Simple and effective

I don’t understand the reviews that say her plan is unrealistic. She says in the very beginning that you can take as much time as you need and that 6 months is just the average time it takes. I spent my entire lunch break coming up with a plan to Declutter my home by the end of june and I am actually looking forward to organizing my bookshelf tonight.

Motivational

it motivated me to start decluttering my bedroom. Keeps you on task while doing so. enjoyable to listen to while cleaning.

Clear concise plan

Loved this book for the approach and mapping technique described. Would love to see and hear more.

Simply put … Thank you!

This book is full of simple and attainable goals that you can set for yourself in a way that fit your life and free your mind. Thank you so much.

Need to have in paper

I like that she is talking about the road map of decluttering a space you need to tackle on.

Basic - more a walk thru how to make a plan vs shifting mindset

I didn’t finish this. I was hoping to get a few key strategies or ways of thinking. There’s a lot of “grab your pen and paper “ and “here’s step 1”. Probably good for those who are looking for step by step; I didn’t want to sift through all of that

Less Toys for Tots & Junkless Junk Drawer

I understand everything she was saying and she has some great ideas but something’s I just could not get behind. No I don’t think a child needs 100’s of toys or that we need a dozen junk drawers but there are compromises.
