Episode 588: How to Eliminate 1000 Clutter Pieces in 30 Days: The Clutter Free Academy Method
What is Kathi’s favorite thing in Clutter Free Academy? The 30 Day 1K! What is the 30 Day 1K, you may ask? It is a challenge to eliminate 1000 pieces of clutter over 30 days. If this sounds daunting, listen in as Clutter Free Academy queen Tonya Kubo answers common objections to the 30 Day 1K.
- There’s no way I have 1000 things in my house to get rid of.
- I have so much clutter that 1000 things won’t even make a dent!
- I don’t have time to declutter 1000 things.
- November is so busy. I can’t possibly tackle this challenge then.
Tonya also shares her secret to making the 30 Day 1K work in her home.
How do you join the challenge? Easy – join the free Clutter Free Academy group in Facebook! In November, group members will receive a printed action plan for the month with simple tasks, weekly live coaching workshops, and the encouragement of nonjudgmental friends. This is going to be a life changing 30 days, and we hope you will join us as we get control of our stuff together!
