Simplification Foundations: Decluttering Strategies
I’ve always loved decluttering and have practiced some form of a minimalist lifestyle since 2010. Beyond the practice itself, I’m fascinated by the philosophy behind minimalism and enjoy exploring its ideas. Over the years, I’ve read countless books, blogs, and articles, and watched plenty of videos on the subject. This month, I thought it would be fun to gather and list all the concepts and strategies I can remember, creating a central resource for anyone who wants to simplify their life.
This post covers some of the most well-known decluttering and minimalism strategies, as well as lesser-known ones. Some of these ideas even contradict each other. For example, the KonMari method recommends decluttering by category (like books) throughout your home, while other methods suggest tackling one room at a time, ignoring categories. Decluttering is deeply personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I encourage you to experiment and see what works best for you. I will credit the original sources whenever possible, though tracking down who first came up with each strategy can be tricky. I also plan to keep adding to this list as I come across (or remember) new techniques.
Refine Behind the Scenes
Remember last month when I mentioned I was working through some personal stuff? That was actually visa-related. Long story short, due to my visa changing, keeping the business side of Refine running has become too complex. So, I’ve made the decision to stop selling products.
But don’t worry, I’ll continue creating content, and I’ll be answering all the great questions you sent in for the guide through upcoming blog posts.
A quick practical note for anyone who purchased Refine products:
All of my products are currently hosted on Kajabi. Since Kajabi is quite expensive and it doesn’t make sense to keep it without active sales, I’ll be ending my subscription when the next billing cycle comes around: April 30th, 2026. That means you’ll have access to your courses on the platform until then.
If you prefer to work through Kajabi, make sure to complete your course before April 30th 2026. I’ll be making all course content available to download and keep. I’ll let you know when those downloads are ready (likely closer to the end of this year.)
As always, you can reply directly to this email with any questions or comments (and also just to say hi).
Have a wonderful month,
x Coco
