Introduction

Hello everyone, and thank you for joining me. I’m Stephanie Seferian, and this is The Secrets of Successful Declutterers, a course from Scribd Coach.

Have you ever walked into a perfectly tidied, wonderfully decluttered home and asked yourself: How did they do it? What is their secret?

The truth is that perfectly tidy homes aren’t always flawlessly maintained, though there are some tried and true minimalist secrets that can make your life a lot easier. There’s a lot of time, effort, and intention that goes into creating and maintaining a tidy home, and not everyone who sets out to declutter their space is successful.

In this course, we’ll cover those tips and tricks and more, as I share with you minimalist principles and decluttering techniques that have worked for me and countless others. Decluttering and living minimally go hand in hand, and, throughout the course, we’ll learn ten secrets to decluttering your home, where and how to even begin, and how to declutter guilt-free and sustainably.

You might be asking -- why me? Why am I qualified to teach you about decluttering? Well, I used to think I was the world’s greatest multitasker. I had two children, and still, I pressed on at a punishing pace. I vacuumed the house with an infant strapped to my chest while picking up my toddler’s discarded, forgotten toys. I hosted playdates while preparing dinner for my family.

I was forever playing catch-up, forever behind. I thought that being busy meant I was doing it right. I assumed adulthood was supposed to be this way. It wasn’t until one afternoon, as I stuffed a pacifier in one kid’s mouth, sang to the other, scarfed down a half-eaten granola bar, and sped through a yellow light, that I realized there’s got to be a better way.

Now, I know better. What’s more is that now, through my podcast, blog, and book, I am able to share with other people what I learned.
