Kristyn is a decluttering expert and lifestyle enthusiast who has dedicated herself to helping others live a clutter-free and organized life. She discovered her passion for decluttering after reading "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo, which sparked a profound shift in her perspective on the importance of decluttering.   Driven by a desire to redefine what it means to be clutter-free, Kristyn adopted a radical self-care and radical self-organization approach, leading her to develop her own unique method known as the Kon-mari Method. This method sets itself apart from others by focusing not only on what to get rid of but also on what to bring into one's life.   Throughout her journey, Kristyn has realized that tidying is not just an exercise but an event, and she aims to inspire others to embrace this mindset. She believes that fixing the root of the clutter problem is crucial and encourages individuals to join the clutter bug group and utilize clear bins for effective organization.   Kristyn is also experienced in marketing and promoting herself on social media, having successfully used platforms like Instagram to share her expertise. She has taken up challenges and shares valuable insights on organizing multiple platforms for different audiences.   In addition to decluttering physical spaces, Kristyn emphasizes the importance of decluttering and digitizing files. She understands the fear associated with letting go of sentimental items, particularly paper, and offers practical advice on how to separate them from essential documents and capture their essence through photographs.   For those seeking to optimize their lives, Kristyn recommends embracing the Kon-mari method, utilizing the Tidy Home Joy Journal, and seeking guidance from experts on social media. Her relatable and engaging approach to decluttering and organizing has earned her a strong following and the reputation of being an expert in the field.   Follow Kristyn     0:00 How did you get into decluttering?   4:09 Redefining what it means to be clutter free (radical self care)   9:07 What to get rid of and what you bring in.   16:21 Fixing the root of the problem.   21:58 Marketing  on social media.   25:34 The challenges of having multiple different platforms.   29:18 Decluttering and digitizing files.   34:49: The importance of taking a picture of what you want.   41:52 Advice for people who want to optimize their life.   Join my newsletter The Optimization Toolbox Newsletter https://newsletter.jennaredfield.com   Download Notion! https://notion.grsm.io/jenna-redfield   Notion Foundations Online Course (with ADHD Life Tracker Notion Template included) https://notionfoundations.com   Get My Notion Templates Content Calendar Template, ADHD Life Tracker, Business Tracker https://notion.jennaredfield.com/templates   Join my Notion FB Groups!
