For Thought-full Declutterers who want to do it right ...
not rushed. 

Discover the pdf action guide that tells where and how to start clearing the clutter ... even if you overthink your decisions, are a bit sentimental, and are tired of feeling frozen in indecision.

If you’ve been staring at cluttered shelves and overstuffed corners thinking, “Where do I even begin?” you’re not alone … and you’re not doing anything wrong.

You want your home to reflect who you are now … Not the past, not other people’s expectations, and not the version of you who saved things “just in case.”

But starting? That’s the hardest part.

Maybe you’ve tried decluttering advice that told you to empty a room, pile everything on the floor, and sort through it all in one go. You ended up more overwhelmed than when you started.


And the clutter? It’s still there … plus now you feel stuck and ashamed.

Start with decluttering wins that build your momentum.

✔️ How to choose the best place to start decluttering—without second-guessing yourself.

✔️ Create a visible difference in your home that creates a much-needed sense of accomplishment.

There are no rules about getting rid of everything. Just thoughtful guidance to help you begin.

Why this method works … when others haven’t.

 

Most decluttering methods expect you to turn your home upside down. They want you to pull everything out, sort it all, and make dozens of snap decisions before you’ve even had your morning coffee. No wonder it feels like too much.

Clear Beginnings helps you take a different approach ...

✅ No huge messes that you’ll regret making.

✅ No pressure to get rid of items you’re not ready to part with.

✅ No guilt trips about what you’ve kept.

✅ Just small, clear steps that help you make visible progress.

✅ You don’t even need to wait for a long weekend. You can start today ... and still make dinner tonight in a calmer kitchen.

Recycled Paper

Hi there, I’m Susan!

And I know just what it's like to feel too overwhelmed to start.

I'm a former teacher who became a professional organizer after clearing out my parents’ overfilled home and realizing I was following the same path … saving too much stuff “just in case.”

 

Now, I help women in midlife make confident, thoughtful decisions about their belongings so they can create calm, supportive homes for the life they’re living now.

 

My approach isn’t about checklists or minimalism … it’s about clarity, compassion, and small intentional steps that honor your values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do I get when I purchase Clear Beginnings?

You’ll receive a 40-page downloadable PDF guide that helps you take your first steps in decluttering … without feeling overwhelmed or making a mess.

 

Inside, you’ll find suggestions for where to start, gentle daily actions, and simple routines designed for visible progress and peace of mind. You can print it or read it on your device.

Do I need to set aside a whole weekend to do this?

Not at all. You can use this guide as a weekend jumpstart … but it’s also perfect for slow and steady progress. If you prefer working in short, manageable bursts, you certainly can.

This is about real change at a pace that feels doable, not draining.

 

Is this just for people who want to declutter their whole house?

Nope! This guide is specifically designed to help you begin … without the pressure to tackle everything at once.

 

You’ll focus on visible areas (like surfaces and living spaces), so you can see real results and build confidence to keep going.

What if I’m afraid I’ll get rid of something I’ll regret?

That fear is valid … and common among Thought-full Declutterers. This guide doesn’t pressure you to make hard decisions right away.

 

Instead, you’ll start with easy wins that don’t involve deep emotional attachments. You’ll make space without second-guessing yourself.

How is this different from the free advice I’ve seen online?

Many free resources tell you to pull everything out and sort through a huge mess. That can feel overwhelming and discouraging.

 

This guide offers a calmer, no-drama approach with practical steps that don’t disrupt your home or your life.

Can I get a refund if it’s not for me?

Because this is a digital product, refunds aren’t automatically available. However, if you feel the guide didn’t support you in getting started, you’re welcome to email Susan@ALessClutteredLife.com and share what didn’t work for you.
