Reduction Guides
Each guide is built on field-tested methodology. Follow them room by room, or start with the space that weighs on you most.

Photograph every object in the room. Create a simple spreadsheet. Name, category, last used date. No judgment — just data.
Score each object 1-5 on function, frequency, and emotional value. Items scoring below 8 total are candidates for removal.
Place all candidate items in boxes. Label with the date. Live without them for 14 days. If you don't retrieve it, it leaves.
With fewer objects, rethink placement. Give each item breathing room. Clean surfaces become the default.
Photograph the final result. Set a calendar reminder for 30 days. Any new object must replace an existing one.
