Clutter Free Academy

Kathi is back with another one of her favorite segments: questions with Kelly and Kathi. This past year has left many of us wondering how to keep our house clean and clutter free with everyone at home. Thankfully, Kathi has some great ideas for doing just that:

• Establish what an acceptable space is.
• Don’t face the clutter alone.
• Teach our kids how to be zero sum kids and care for themselves and their things.
• The importance of routines and boundaries

When it comes to your home, peace is possible…

Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home. 

Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality.  Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.

Kathi is back for another one of her favorite segments, questions with Kelly and Kathi. This time they’re talking about how to keep our cars clean and clutter free. Thankfully, they aren’t talking about dedicating a Saturday to this task. Instead, they offer practical ways that can easily fit into our lifestyle. Listen in to learn about the four ways that helped Kathi keep her car clean even with kids and teens:

• Minimize things allowed in your car and have a system for getting things out of it
• Have trash bags in the car
• Use your gas station stops
• Kick it back into play

Kathi is here with Tonya Kubo, “the princess-in-training” of clutter free, talking about how to keep clutter to a minimum even when you have kids. As kids and families grow, so does the clutter situation. With things changing at the speed of life, how do we help our children appreciate and care for their things? Join in the conversation as we dive into one of our clutter free principles: anchoring our systems and routines. In anchoring our routines with children, we will learn to:

• Limit the number of items in our house
• Empower kids to care for themselves and their things
• Create simple routines, stability, and expectations

Kathi and Tonya are back with part two of creating a kitchen you will actually cook in. In part one they discussed the first few principles of creating a kitchen you will want to cook in. They are continuing the conversation this week by helping us limit our decision making so we can get dinner on the table easier and enjoy doing it. Instead of allowing the thoughts and ideas of what we should do direct our decisions, let’s think about what we actually need and how we can:  

• Find and reach everything we need  
• Set up stations in our kitchen  
• Make our kitchen really work for us

Our physical spaces aren’t the only ones that get cluttered in this digital world. Do you wonder how to stay on top of email and keep your inbox from remaining cluttered?

Feeling overwhelmed? Wondering if it’s possible to move from “out of my mind” to “in control” when you’ve got too many projects on your plate and too much mess in your relationships?

Kathi and Cheri want to show you five surprising reasons why you become stressed, why social media solutions don’t often work, and how you can finally create a plan that works for you. As you identify your underlying hurts, uncover hope, and embrace practical healing, you’ll become equipped to:

• trade the to-do list that controls you for a calendar that allows space in your life
• decide whose feedback to forget and whose input to invite
• replace fear of the future with peace in the present

You can simplify and savor your life—guilt-free! Clutter, tasks, and relationships may overwhelm you now, but God can help you overcome with grace.

Kathi and Cheri Gregory, co-author of Overwhelmed, get together for this episode for a little discussion regarding the concepts of being overwhelmed and being clutter-free. So often we find that our clutter overwhelms us and that being overwhelmed contributes to our clutter. It can be a vicious cycle.

Kathi and Cheri discuss five steps to keep from getting overwhelmed as you declutter your home, your heart, and your life.

Kathi and Kelly Wilbanks share about decluttering fast when company is coming. This common question from the clutter-free community comes to a peak during the holiday season. When the in-laws or other company come to visit, how can we declutter fast and create an inviting atmosphere, focusing more on making connections than a good impression?

• Clear surfaces first
• Ask for help
• Decide your intent
