The weekend declutter guide
Tidy to Tiny

Keep what you love. Clear the rest. Decide about tiny later.

Most people try to design a smaller life while the house is still full
That’s the part that stalls people. Not the floor plan, not the trailer, not the zoning — the stuff.
This short ebook walks the order that actually works: how you relate to your stuff, what categories to touch first, a simple three-bucket discard, then how to put keepers away so the space stays usable.
It’s built from the original Tiny House Talk Tidy to Tiny course — five modules and a weekend game plan — rewritten as a readable guide you can finish and use. Whether you’re preparing for a smaller home or you just want a house that isn’t fighting you.
You do not have to go tiny. After a pass through your belongings, you’ll simply know more about what you actually use and love.
What’s inside
- ✓The one-question keep filter
- ✓The 7 types of stuff — and the order to go through them
- ✓The 3-bucket discard (Trash / Keep / Recycle — give · sell · donate)
- ✓Organize and clothes storage basics, for keepers only
- ✓Keep-tidy habits — maintenance, not a personality transplant
- ✓A weekend checklist you can run in a few focused days
- ✓Notes on papers and family friction (the sticky spots)
- ✓Honest “tiny or not” decision notes — not a build or finance guide

Who it’s for
- Downsizers clearing a house before a smaller place, cabin, RV, boat, or apartment.
- Escapees who want a usable home first — and can decide about tiny after the stuff pass.
- Anyone stuck in “maybe later” piles who wants a short, ordered process instead of another mood board.
What it isn’t
- Not zoning, financing, insurance, or building advice.
- Not a “quit your job” pitch or a transformation promise.
- Not a multi-month course — it’s a finishable weekend (or few-day) pass.
- Not The Power of Simple Living. Separate book, not bundled here.
