WITH
7 STEP CLUTTER CLEARING JOURNEY
THE 7 STEP JOURNEY
Stop struggling and start succeeding by learning WHY you struggle, how to make decisions safely, and finally clear your clutter Forever so you can start living your Best Life!
The Journey to your Clutter Free Life and becoming Clutter Free Forever isn't fast or easy, yet it is possible because the Founder of Clutter Clearing, Clare Baker, did just that in 2001, and she's been sharing the "How-to" of successful decluttering for over 20 years so that others can do exactly what she did and start living their Clutter Free Best Lives too!
Her on the Clutter Clearing 7 Step Journey, you'll learn a tried and tested process to enable you to clear all your clutter - FOREVER - so you can start living your Clutter Free Best Life.
By following a simple online video programme, having access to the online Clutter Clearing Community of other 7 Step Journey members, getting access to the resources you need, and having as much or as little support from Clare and other Journey members as you want, you'll have everything you need to finally succeed at clearing your clutter.
In your home
At your own pace
Fitting in your life
So you can start living your Clutter Free Best Life
No teams of people in your home, sorting through your clutter
No time limit to get it all done by
No fear that you're making the wrong decision
No reorganising to make it look better, or storage solutions or self-storage to try to hide it all
No fear that the clutter will grow back again once it's all done
There's no rush.
Now you're doing this the Clutter Clearing Way.
You'll learn HOW to manage the overwhelm.
You'll clear your clutter slowly yet surely in a way that ensures it will NEVER grow back.
That's great,
but I need to clear my clutter FAST!
I completely understand -
when I had my clutter Challenge I wish there had been a magic wand that would have enabled me to clear my clutter fast.
The trouble is, clearing your clutter so it never grows back takes time.
Your clutter didn't appear overnight, sadly it's not going to disappear - FOREVER - overnight either.
The way to clear your clutter FOREVER isn't easy to explain, other than the fact it's a Journey of discovery and significant shifts (I know, it sounds corny, but it's true!)
You're not going to clear it FOREVER by having a quick blitz in a day or two either, even if you can afford to have someone come into your home to help you have that blitz.
This isn't like the 'keep', 'get rid of', 'charity' methods you see on the TV programmes.
The people you see on the TV programmes don't stay cluttered free FOREVER because they haven't discovered WHY they have their clutter challenge or created a new habits to help them STAY Clutter Free Forever.
This time it's different.
This time you're clearing it so you never,
ever have to deal with clutter again!
No more blitzing, weeding, piling, moving, reorganising or storing your clutter.
With your 7 Step Journey Membership you will:
Learn WHY you have your clutter.
Discover WHY you struggle to clear it.
Learn HOW to make decisions
Learn HOW to deal with sentimental clutter.
Learn HOW to organise your home.
The 7 Steps of the Journey explained.
"Take each day as it comes & don't worry about YOUR pace. Things will soon to start to make sense & you will learn so much about yourself. Keep putting one foot in front of the other & you will see how your thinking changes as your eyes are opened to you new beginnings. Finally I understand WHY I get overwhelmed just looking at my clutter!"
Step 1: Understanding WHY you have your Clutter Challenge
When you start your 7 Step Journey, you'll learn WHY you have your Clutter Challenge. Not just the practical reasons - we all know we have our clutter because too much 'stuff'.
This time you're going to learn why you have your Clutter Challenge at practical level and psychological level.
You'll do exercises to help discover exactly what's going on in YOUR home with YOUR clutter.
- You'll learn WHY you feel overwhelmed and HO to overcome it.
- You'll learn what your triggers are that cause you to accumulate.
- You'll find out how fast the clutter is growing.
"You are about to start doing your first clutter clearing sessions. You may start to feel overwhelmed when you see how much paperwork is in your inbox or your email inbox but it is ok. There is a clearly defined structure as to how to do this Finally I understand WHY I get overwhelmed just looking at my clutter!"
Step 2: Controlling the Accumulation of Clutter
Before you start clearing your clutter you need to control the accumulation of clutter to make sure it doesn't grow back.
In Step 2 you'll start doing the Clutter Clearing Sessions using the Clutter Clearing Method. You'll start work on the clutter that EVERY clutterholic has - Paperwork and Finance clutter, E-mail clutter, Computer clutter.
You might not think the digital clutter matters, but it's a great way to get used to the Clutter Clearing Method and start letting go of things you don't need before you start working on bigger, more emotional types of clutter.
- You'll learn about the importance of habits and routines to clear your clutter and stay clutter free.
- You'll learn about the importance of giving yourself permission to be 'not sure' about a decision
- You'll learn about and discover which Clutter Clearing 'gremlins' you have that have sabotaged you in the past
- You'll learn about how to protect your identity as you clear your clutter
"In step 2, you are going to learn a lot of valuable information about making decisions. You are also going to shred bags of pepper and get your main email inbox down significantly. You will have to be patient with yourself and with life."
Step 3: Making Decisions
On Step 3, you continue to do your regular paperwork, e-mail and computer clutter clearing sessions.
- You'll learn HOW to make balanced, realistic decisions SAFELY
- You'll learn about the Clutter Clearing Method
- You'll learn the importance of giving yourself permission to be not sure
- You'll learn about the 12 Values that you need to consider (not just financial)
- You'll learn about the Clutter Keeping Cycle
- You'll learn about the Clutter Clearing Decision Making Equation
- You'll learn about the Clutter Clearing Decision Making Scales
"I thought I'd be endlessly repeating Step 4 until I'd cleared all my cluttered rooms, but that's not the case. I can't quite believe that I'm at the end of Step 4, having cleared two whole areas that have been cluttered for decades, and after dreading Mount Everest it was a bit of an anti-climax. I feel I must have cheated!"
Step 4: Mount Everest, Backlog Clutter
Now you understand why you have your clutter challenge, got control of the accumulation of clutter to make sure it doesn't grow back and learnt how to make decisions, you can start working on the big and bulky visible clutter in areas and rooms, rather than just piles of paperwork clutter.
- You'll use all the learning and experience you've gained on steps 1, 2 and 3 to help you make balanced realistic decisions.
- You'll be surprised how FAST you are able to clear your first two areas and rooms.
- You'll find it EASIER to make decisions on your big and bulky backlog clutter than you ever thought possible.
- You'll SEE and FEEL a different FAST
- You'll notice the habits you've broken and the habits you've started creating on Steps 1, 2 and 3 are helping you.
- You'll learn how to keep the areas you've cleared Clutter Free Forever
"On Step 5 I cleared 5 rooms, so it's definitely becoming a habit! I don't feel right if I don't do my Journey, and I can take time off, eg holiday, if I need to without struggling to get back into the routine afterwards."
Step 5: Sentimental
Now you've been through some of your big and bulky backlog clutter, we can learn how to deal with the sentimental things that you've found, whilst continuing to clear whole areas and rooms in your home.
- You'll learn the unique Clutter Clearing way to make decisions about your sentimental belongings
- You'll learn HOW to keep the memories without having to keep the physical thing
- You'll learn the difference between sentimental things and inherited things
Lots of people say this is a fun step because they get to be creative whilst also honouring the sentimentality of their belongings.
"In the past I did an interior design course, thinking it would help me with my clutter. The irony is that organising areas and rooms become obvious when there's no clutter in them!"
Step 6: Organising
Now you have multiple Clutter Free areas and rooms you can learn about how to organise them in a way that works for YOU, as you continue clearing whole areas and rooms.
- You'll learn about the Zones Concept
- You'll do the Clutter Clearing Trace Exercise
- You'll learn about the psychology of colours
- You'll learn how to deal with Clothes Clutter
"I never imagined when I started my Journey that I would clear my clutter, and I certainly never believed I'd be able to keep my home clutter free. But looking at my home now - I have! Yes, it's taken longer than I thought it would, but it's definitely worth it."
Step 7: Control
You'll leave your biggest, most cluttered area or room to clear on Step 7, whether that's an attic, garage or storage unit. Most people find they clear their biggest, most cluttered area or room the fastest, because of all the practice they've had on their Journey at making balanced, realistic decisions.
- You'll perfect your new habit that will enable you to control your home clutter so the clutter never grows back again
- You'll have created the home you dreamed of when you started your Journey - and it will be better than you every imagined it could be.
I will be your Guide and Advisor on your Journey
Just like a sherpa guides you on a mountaineering expedition, I’m your guide on your Clutter Clearing Journey across the 7 Step mountain range.
You’ll be safe with me – I’ve safely guided hundreds of people around the world on this Journey. I know the short-cuts to take and the beauty spots to stop and appreciate.
My mission is to enable and empower people to take back control of their homes and their clutter, and as a result start living their Clutter Free Best Lives.
I’ve seen too many people dive in at the deep end, trying to be ‘ruthless’ with their decision because they either put themselves under pressure or other people have expectations that this can be done FAST.
That never works.
I know because I tried that many times with my own clutter, and I failed every time.
You either clear your clutter FAST or you clear your Clutter FOREVER.
You can’t clear your clutter FOREVER, FAST.
If you’ve been trying to clear your visible clutter that you have in 4 or more areas (hallways, attics, garages, storage units) and rooms of your home for 4 or more years, then I know exactly what you need to do to start succeeding.

Testimonials
Still wondering if the Journey is for you?
-
You have a deadline. You’re not going to be clearing your clutter FAST on the Journey. If you had a deadline – real or imagined – then the best thing to do is put your clutter into self-storage and IMMEDIATELY start your Journey.
-
You get jealous of other people succeeding. We are all on our own Journey, clearing our clutter together, using the same method. Everyone on their Journey – especially the Group Journey Members – are a supportive group of committed Clutter Clearers who know that we achieve more when we learn from each other and support each other through the bad days and tough weeks we all have on our Journey. No judgmental members allowed!
-
You think you can clear it in a matter of days, weeks or even months. Realistically, the Journey will take you a minimum of 2 years to clear all your clutter – longer if you do less than the maximum of 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, or have more than 10 areas and rooms to clear.
-
You don’t want to clear your clutter FOREVER. If you’re happy to have quick temporary clutter free areas in your home, then it’s best you find a Professional Declutterer and Organiser in your area who can come to your home and help you achieve that.
-
You are not prepared to protect a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of your time to ‘Do the Doing’. Many people experience resistance to simply watching and following their Journey videos when they start their Journey. Other people tell themselves they’re ‘too busy’. That’s fine. If you genuinely believe you can’t protect a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week to make progress on your Journey, then it’s not for you.
-
You don’t believe you can get the help you need to clear your clutter remotely / virtually. That’s fair enough. It does sound crazy, especially with all the TV programmes. If you’re not open to trying it then the Journey isn’t for you.
-
You believe the only help that will work for you is a home visit. If you believe that having a stranger in your home pressurising you to make decisions about your clutter based on ‘keep’, ‘get rid of’ or ‘charity’ is the best way for you to deal with your clutter challenge, then that’s fine. It’s best you find a Professional Declutterer and Organiser in your area who can come to your home and help you achieve that.
-
Get started FAST. You’ll get instant access to the online Journey videos as soon as you become a member.
-
Get the help you need – in secret. No one will be coming to your home, so no one needs to know you’re getting help with your clutter clearing.
-
Go at a pace that is comfortable and safe for YOU. There are no deadlines on the Journey. You’re in control of how much you do and when, so you don’t get overwhelmed.
-
Understand WHY you struggle with clutter. There are reasons why you struggle with your clutter. You’re not lazy or stupid like you – and others – might think! Once you discover what they are on Step 1 of the Journey, and why there are psychological reasons why you struggle you’ll understand why you’ve never been able to clear it Forever in the past.
-
Be in control of the Decision Making. You’ll learn how to make decisions safely and without regret.
-
Break Clutter Creating Habits, create Clutter Controlling Habits. There are no deadlines on the Journey. You’re in control of how much you do and when.
-
Never feel alone again. You want to be able to talk to and share with others who know - REALLY know - what it's like to struggle with clutter. Who know it's not about the 'stuff'. Who won't judge you or pressurise you to 'get rid' of your clutter. Who will carry you through the bad days and tough weeks we all have on our Clutter Clearing Journey.
-
Have a Practical Plan for how you're going to achieve MORE with your decluttering over the next 12 months than you did over the last 12 months. Not just a wish or New Years Resolution. No more procrastination or 'when I have time'. This time next year you WILL have less clutter!
-
Finally break your Giving Up Cycle because you've got the support you need from Clare and others to help you, plus the support, structure and routine to build the momentum and motivation you need to succeed.
-
Have Built in Accountability when you’re a Group or Private Journey member.
-
Build your Routines FAST when you’re a Group or Private Journey member with your weekly Clutter Clearing Sessions with Clare.
-
Get regular Help and Support from others either online in the community, on zoom in the Group Sessions, or 1-2-1 from Clare. They’ll be further along their Journey by hearing their experiences, and they can help you get through the bad days and tough weeks we all have on our Journey.
-
Clear your Clutter Forever Yes, it’s going to take longer than you want it to, you’re going to feel impatient, but this time you’re clearing it FOREVER……
It’s time to Start your Journey!
