I’m helping the crew over at Kathi Lipp’s Clutter Free Academy kick off a Clutter Free Christmas today. Together with about 3,000 of my closest Facebook friends, I’m embarking on a 21-day challenge to eliminate the stress and mess associated with Christmas. Check out today’s Clutter Free Academy podcast episode for a glimpse of the simple steps we’re taking to bring more joy to the season, and it all starts with a Holiday Mission Statement – a blueprint for what we’re focusing on this year.

Tonya Kubo is co-director of the Clutter Free Academy Facebook group, founded by author/speaker Kathi Lipp and based on her best-selling book, Clutter Free. She and her husband, Brian, are raising two spirited girls in the agricultural heart of California. By day, she cultivates community in digital spaces for a public university. At night, you can find her either cooking, cuddling or helping others to fight the demons of comparison, clutter and compulsion.
