Your home isn’t just full of stuff; it’s a mirror of identity. Stop tidying. Shift within to live free from messy patterns.
On the outside, you hold it all together: the job, the people, and other demands of busy life. But on the inside—that is, inside your front door—lurks a mess that persists. Piles return, space vanishes, weekends disappear to cleaning. Despite storage systems and cleaning hacks, you’re caught in a cycle of maintenance, guilt, and frustration.
The truth is, clutter isn’t the real problem. It’s a symptom of something deeper: a conflicted identity. Tidy Less, Live More introduces a new way forward—an identity-based approach to decluttering and organizing. While most home-organizing books will tell you how to physically clean a room, Tidy Less, Live More addresses the root cause of clutter. By aligning your space with self-awareness, you’ll finally create lasting order and free your time for what matters most.
Don Suttajit knows what it’s like to be overwhelmed by clutter. He lived it himself. As a brand strategist and certified life coach, he blended identity, design, and psychology to create a method for profound breakthrough. Bridging self-discovery and practical systems, this book is less about managing stuff and more about knowing yourself and what you love—so your home finally follows.
Inside this book, you’ll discover: - Why most tidying solutions fail and why real change must come from within. - The hidden role of ego in clutter and steps to create an authentic self and home. - How to spot limiting beliefs that fuel self-sabotage and adopt a mindset shift for new outcomes. - Why our attachment to things is really a search for self and how self-love clears your space. - How to design spaces and systems that naturally maintain order and support your life.
Stop letting the mess control your story. Your home should support you, not drain you. With this identity-based approach, you’ll tidy less and live more.
