Declutter Your Chaos - Minimalism, Decluttering, Home Organization

Belts, scarves, and hats don't look like a problem — until they quietly take over drawers, bins, and shelves. Because they're small, they often escape decision-making. And because they feel optional, we keep far more than we actually use. In this episode, we declutter the accessories that create background noise in your wardrobe and teach the skill that actually matters: making decisions without perfect certainty.   Hey Friends, Coats and jackets are one of the biggest space stealers in the home. They're bulky, expensive, and rarely worn evenly — which makes them one of the hardest categories to declutter. In this episode, we focus on why letting go of jackets feels harder than it should, and how to make clear, calm decisions without second-guessing yourself.

Hey Guys, Starting over doesn't usually look the way we imagine it will. It doesn't come with a big moment or a public announcement. More often, it starts in places no one else sees.

Hey Guys, If you have a lot of shoes but still feel like you're always wearing the same pair, this episode will help you clear out what isn't being used so your home. Shoes are one of the easiest categories to accumulate and one of the hardest to manage because they tend to live out in the open. They pile up by the door, on the floor, in closets, and under beds. Even when you're not consciously thinking about them, they add visual clutter and take up physical space. This episode walks you through a practical, no-overthinking way to declutter your shoes based on how you actually live now.

Hey Guys, Have too many pairs of pants in your closet?  If they're too tight, too outdated, or tied to a version of you that doesn't exist anymore, your brain avoids them — which is why you might own a bunch but only put on one pair to actually get you through the day.

Hey Guys, In this episode, you'll spend just ten minutes setting up your closet so tomorrow's decluttering session is fast, clean, and doable. No decisions today — only preparation. Wardrobe Decluttering Series Overview This month we're decluttering your wardrobe in four simple categories so you never feel overwhelmed: 1️⃣ Tops Everything worn from your neck to your waist • Hanging vs. folded • Long-sleeve vs. short-sleeve • Goal: Build a foundation you actually love to wear 2️⃣ Bottoms Anything worn from your waist down • Jeans, pants, leggings, skirts, shorts • Clear out anything that no longer fits your life or body 3️⃣ One-Piece Outfits All the items that stand alone • Dresses, jumpsuits, rompers • Keep only the pieces that make you feel confident 4️⃣ Everything Else The final layer of your wardrobe • Jackets, coats, shoes, undergarments, belts, tights, scarves, hats, accessories • Align these items with who you are today — not past or fantasy versions of you How This Series Works • One small category at a time • Clear, doable steps in every episode • Focused attention so you can actually finish each section Why We Do It This Way Because your wardrobe holds old identities — versions of you from the past or imaginary futures. Sorting by category gives your brain clarity so decision-making becomes logical instead of emotional. When you can see what you really own, you can finally choose what supports the life you have now.  

Hey Guys, In today's episode, we're kicking off the December Wardrobe Series with a direct look at why closets feel so overwhelming. It's not the clothes. It's the identity underneath the clothes, and the stories we've attached to them. You'll hear why most people avoid decluttering their wardrobe — not because it's complicated, but because facing who you are right now is harder than letting go of who you used to be. We break down the truth about "one day" outfits, the emotional weight tucked into old tops and jeans, and how your wardrobe becomes a mirror of your self-worth. We also talk about the foundational identity shift for the entire month: You dress every day from the identity you believe you deserve. When you change the identity, the wardrobe follows. This month is not about capsule closets, Pinterest organization, or style rules. It's about alignment. It's about dressing for the life you're actually living and the woman you're becoming. Today's action step: Remove five items from your closet that do not represent the version of you that exists right now. Not the future you. Not the past you. Just the woman you are today. It's a small step, but it starts the identity shift that will carry through the rest of the series.

Hey Guys, In this episode, we're breaking down the reward systems that actually help you stay consistent with decluttering — the ones that create momentum, build identity, and keep you coming back without relying on motivation.

Hey Guys, Today is Day One of the four-day decluttering habit series, and we're starting with the step that makes everything else possible: creating a clear, unavoidable cue for your daily decluttering habit.

If your spice drawer or cabinet is overflowing and you want a simple win today, this is it. In this episode you'll create space, cut the chaos, and actually start using your spices again because you'll know what you have and where it is. What You'll Do Today (Just Two Steps): 1. Alphabetize your spices and remove duplicates Pull out your spices, line them up in alphabetical order, and combine any duplicates. 2. Toss anything expired Check dates as you put them back. This alone clears a surprising amount of space. How to Stay on Track: This isn't a full-kitchen project. Don't let it domino. Stay focused on only the spices. If you have oversized bottles that don't fit with the regular ones, keep them in their own alphabetical section. You can handle two lists. Your Quick Action Plan: • Walk into your kitchen • Open your spice drawer or cabinet • Alphabetize • Remove duplicates • Toss expired • Put everything back neatly Take a deep breath and get it done — it really will only take a few minutes if you stay focused.

Hey Guys, Today we're finishing the three-day pantry series by focusing on how to arrange and organize everything you kept. We covered: 1. Placement How to decide what goes at eye level, what belongs down low, what needs prime reach space, and how grouping items by height improves visibility. 2. Containers Simple tools that make a pantry functional, like lazy Susans for deep shelves, tiered risers for spices, and vertical dividers for high cabinets. 3. Labeling When labels are helpful, when you don't need them, affordable label options, and how to use P-Touch labels or bin tags to keep systems easy to maintain. HERE  are the labels I mention in this episode.

Hey Friends, Today is Day 2 of your three-day pantry series, and this is the actual decluttering day. In this episode, I walk you through a simple, five-step process that makes even an overflowing pantry feel manageable. Decluttering the pantry can be a fun, relaxing, almost meditative project when you break it down into these steps. The 5 Steps From the Episode: 1. Space Planning If you did Day 1, your post-its are already on your shelves. If you didn't, Amber walks you through doing it quickly so you can start. 2. Duplicate Your Post-Its Write the same category labels again and place them on your counter, table, or floor. These become your landing zones as you pull items out. 3. Pull Everything Out Remove items shelf by shelf and place them under the correct duplicate post-it. Trash anything stale, open, or expired. Add new categories only if needed. 4. Clean the Shelves Wipe crumbs, sticky spills, and bottle drips. This takes a few minutes and makes the reset feel fresh and new. 5. Put Everything Back Now that everything is grouped, placing it back is fast and easy. Follow the original post-it map you planned yesterday.

You will learn the four rules that make removing kitchen tools simple: • If you have multiples, keep one • If a basic tool can do the job, the specialty gadget goes • If you haven't used it in 30 days, it's not part of your real life • If it's damaged, it gets thrown away today This micro-declutter makes your kitchen easier to use every single day.

Hey Guys, In this mini episode, I walk you through letting go of one of the most challenging things to let go of - mugs!  They are extra hard to say goodbye to because we receive them as gifts, we get them as sets, and we get attached.  But the problem is we don't have unlimited space for these things.  And they start to interrupt the flow of the space, so it is time to say goodbye.  Don't worry, you don't have to get rid of all of them.  Just some.

Hey Guys, Your kitchen is not a storage unit for the whole house. In three minutes, you will choose ONE recurring non-kitchen category that keeps sneaking into your kitchen and you will remove all of it today. This is a micro-habit that keeps the kitchen clear without constant cleaning. In this episode you will: • stand in your kitchen • identify your most common non-kitchen offender (like pet food, toys, electronics, meds, school papers) • move that entire category to its true home outside the kitchen Do not overthink this. Do not wait for "perfect." One category at a time is what shifts the kitchen permanently. Share this episode with someone who wants a cleaner kitchen but gets overwhelmed.

Hey Guys, This is the first long episode of Kitchen Month. Today you will learn how to begin your kitchen reset in a way that is simple, sustainable, and actually sticks. You are going to start with one counter surface. Not the whole kitchen. One surface. This gives you a quick win and creates a new "set point." We are using James Clear's Atomic Habits principle: make it obvious. Your environment starts driving the behavior, not your willpower. This month includes eight longform episodes (each focused on a key kitchen zone) and daily 5-minute "reminder" minisodes designed to keep you moving with gentle, judgment-free nudges. Mini homework: Pick ONE surface. Clear it completely. Protect it every night this week. HERE is my Amazon link for you to check out the boxes I mentioned in the episode.

Hey Guys! In this episode I talk with Judy, who has been working with me in my 3-month decluttering program.  Judy has made a ton of progress in her home and I thought it might be helpful for you to hear about her progress.   If you would like me to help you declutter your home email me amber@declutteryourchaos.com and we can talk about your specific project.  XO, Amber Let's connect:

Hey Guys,   Here are 8 rules, or boundaries, you can give yourself while decluttering.  Don't try to use them all.  Just try one or two and use what works for you.   Strategy 1: Clear Decision Criteria Before you touch anything, you give your brain rules to follow.  This keeps you out of emotional negotiation. Ask yourself: Do I use this regularly?   Does it serve a real purpose in my life right now?   Would I buy this again today?   Does it align with who I'm becoming?   Strategy 2: Binary Decisions Yes = it stays. No = it goes. Maybe = it goes in a 30-day box. If you don't touch it in 30 days, it's gone.     Strategy 3: Set Limits Clutter thrives without limits. Space limit: A shelf, a drawer, a bin. When it's full, something must leave.   Quantity limit: Only keep the number you actually use.   Time limit: Work in short, focused bursts to avoid decision fatigue.     Strategy 4: Tests for Clarity If this disappeared today, would I replace it? Does this item fit the life I'm creating, or is it tied to a past version of me?     Strategy 5: Function Over Story Sentiment is valid, but function decides what stays in your active space. Keep the memory, not the object.   Take a photo if needed.   One small sentimental box only. Clear boundary.   Strategy 6: Exit Strategy Every item needs a destination the second you decide. Donation box.   Trash bag.   Maybe box with a date.   Drop-off or pick-up scheduled.   Strategy 7: Decision Hierarchy   Function trumps sentiment   Space trumps guilt   Future trumps past     Strategy 8: Prevent Backslide Touch once. Decide once. Use post-its with the destination of object written on them to help with this. Hope this helps! XO, Amber Let's connect:

Here's the link to sign up for the Workshop: https://declutteryourchaos.com/workshop Here is a link to the facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryourchaos/ Here are the steps we talk about in the workshop so you have them handy: Step one: NOTICE THE BODY Grab the object you are attached to. Touch it. NOW notice what's happening in your body, Not your thoughts. Tight chest Clenched jaw Shallow breath These are signals of attachment Step two: NAME THE FEELING Say out loud what's under the resistance: fear of loss, regret, scarcity, control. Naming interrupts the automatic grip. Step three: SEPARATE THE OBJECT FROM THE EMOTION Remind yourself the feeling lives inside you, not the object. The object isn't safety, the mug, the jacket, the pants, the bracelet…it isn't safety, it isn't identity. Step four: REGULATE Slow steady breathing or grounding (touching a wall, pressing your feet into the floor) calms the nervous system...once your body settles letting go stops feeling so dangerous. Step five: RELEASE Only after the shift happens. The shift from placing your emotions on the object, people let go more easily because the charge is gone. The emotional charge. Hope this helps!

Here is your link for this weekend's workshop: https://declutteryourchaos.com/workshop Hey Friends, In today's workshop episode, we go deep into what minimalism actually means and how it can transform not just your home, but your entire life. This is not about a Pinterest-perfect house or counting your belongings — it's about creating space for what actually matters. Here's what we cover: ✨ Minimalism Defined: Why it's a mindset and a lifestyle, and how it helps you focus on what truly matters. ✨ Core Philosophy: Removing physical clutter, mental noise, unnecessary obligations, and even limiting beliefs — so you have more space, time, and energy. ✨ Practical Minimalism: Decluttering your possessions, your calendar, your digital life, and even your relationships. ✨ Benefits You'll Feel: More clarity, freedom, presence, and alignment between your outer world and your inner values. ✨ Giving and Receiving: Why so many women struggle to receive, and why receiving is essential before you can truly give. ✨ Your Home as a Guide: How clutter is not your enemy but your teacher, showing you where you are overwhelmed and what needs attention. ✨ Boundaries & Self-Love: How to take accountability for your side of the street with compassion — not self-criticism — and why filling your own cup is not selfish. ✨ Overwhelm & Putting Yourself Last: Why putting yourself first changes everything, and how it shifts the energy of your home and relationships. ✨ The Power of Possibility: Why changing your environment creates possibility — the antidote to depression — and why this work is worth the courage it takes. This is a heart-centered episode about loving yourself enough to create an environment that reflects who you are and who you are becoming. I hope it helps you!  And I hope to see you tomorrow!
