Hey Reader,

Let's talk about your next decluttering project. I really believe there is a right way and a wrong way to approach this work.

So many people tell me they struggle to get started. And when they finally do, they dive in, make a big mess…and then run out of time and energy. What’s left behind? Unsorted piles of trash, donations, and keep items all jumbled together—with no clear path to finishing.

I do NOT want this to happen to you.

So, before you start any project—big or small—there’s one step that changes everything:

Set up your workspace first.

Yesterday, we were assembling a new bed frame, and before we even opened the box, I emptied the room. Not halfway. Completely.

​

I removed every piece of furniture, emptied the closet, and even took decorations off the shelves and walls.

Why?

Because when the space is clear, you can move freely. You don’t have to stop and shift things around. You don’t trip over what doesn’t belong. And most importantly, you give yourself room to breathe, experiment, and choose intentionally.

This is the heart of my method:

👉 Remove everything
👉 Reduce what you don’t need
👉 Return only the very best

When you do this, it’s amazing how often a space organizes itself.

Whether you're refreshing a room, editing your wardrobe, or just tackling that one overflowing drawer, start here. You don’t need more bins. You need more breathing room.

What space are you working on?

Until next time,

Amy
