An optimalist guide to decluttering your home: Methods and systems specially designed for full-time working and commuting parents

If you’re looking for a method to declutter your home with speed but without the overwhelm, this book is for you.

This guide is intended for full-time working and commuting parents like me, although it would work for anyone.

If you’re the kind of person balancing a nine-to-five job, five days a week, with an employer, a commute, nursery or school drop-offs and pick-ups… this method is for you.

If, after preparing, cooking, serving, cleaning up dinner, and putting the kids to bed, you barely have a moment to yourself before it’s time to sleep… this method is for you!

If you’re looking for a decluttering approach that doesn’t stir up a lot of emotions, bombard you with questions, or leave you feeling awful… this method is for you.

This book is straight to the point, only actionable solutions to your decluttering challenges. These steps can be implemented by anyone, no matter where they are in their decluttering journey.

In this book, we skip the theory on the effects of clutter and my personal life (though my story is at the end, after the conclusion, if you’re interested). The first and second chapters dive straight into my two-phase decluttering method which relies on instinct, rather than reason or emotion. You will get a solution within 15 minutes, and a complete system within an hour.

This book is the result of my experience, and my method was developed over 15 years, which is the age of my eldest child at the time of writing.

This book is solely focused on decluttering your home, not organising your home or decluttering your mind. It’s designed to help you get rid of the excess and unnecessary items among your physical possessions.
