Do you feel a sense of dread and despair in dealing with your clutter? Does it lurk in dark drawers or sprawl over any flat surface? Have you tried other programs, books, or sheer will power without achieving the results you want? |
|
We have a different approach - and it works! Using Kaizen principles and creativity tools we help you find a way to keep your clutter at bay!
Clutter comes in many forms and is often the result of unresolved decisions. We know about clutter because we have clutter too. And we know about clearing clutter - because we found an approach that works for us. Now we would like to share it with you. Our approach lets you shift your perceptions about clutter and provides a method for building a gentle and sustainable momentum for clearing your clutter—one that helps make the process easier, less stressful, and, yes, (drumroll, please), even fun!

I would recommend this course for anyone dealing with clutter issues. Donna and Mary provide a comfortable, safe, and nurturing space in which participants can share how they deal with clutter in their lives. I personally found the sharing very beneficial because it gives a tangible level of support to tackle this difficult issue, which can have so many layers. The tips and tools are helpful and challenging, which helped bring a fresh perspective to this whole issue. I am grateful to Donna and Mary for this course, having been able to address some ‘areas of clutter’ that have consistently affected my life. And, I also found it to be fun as described in the course description |
At only $89 for 4 weeks, it's an opportunity you can't afford to miss!

I enjoyed exploring my need for some of my belongings, and my appreciation for those same items. I loved connecting with the group and sharing what we go through, the way clutter is defined a little differently by each of us, and how it affects us all differently. I’m looking at things around me with new eyes—with much-increased awareness. Is it useful? Does it give me pleasure? Does it work? Does it make sense to hold onto this item? This Master Mind brought a softer, non-judgmental perspective on clutter, gave gentle nudges to come up with small steps to get started, and built momentum. If you have clutter issues, this is the place to come! |

Why a Master Mind? and What is KMI?
A KMI Master Mind™ is NOT A COURSE. Each master mind is unique and with customized content based on the needs and interests of its members. A master mind provides the perfect opportunity to dive deep into a topic, an issue or problem with the collaborative support of a group you will gain multiple perspectives, have access to new resources, tools and ideas to help you determine your next small action step.
A KMI Master Mind is a Kaisen-Muse™ Infused (KMI) Master Mind™. This means that is it uses the gentle but powerful building blocks of Kaizen (tiny thoughts, curious questions, small steps and relevant rewards) and is filled with creativity and purposeful, playful productivity. This particular model has the feel of a circle with the power of a focused master mind that creates sustainable momentum towards your goals - in this instance, for getting your clutter cleared.

Thanks to the KMI Master Mind™, I’m more aware of why I’m cluttering, and thus have developed more compassion for myself around this issue. I really benefitted from the group support, the new tools, and the accountability for doing some decluttering each week. I’ve definitely made inroads in dealing with my clutter. Since this master mind was so helpful to me, I’d absolutely recommend it to others! |
Here's what each 90 minute master mind session includes:
- A very short guided imagery to bring us together for relaxed focus
- A tool specifically designed to help you with a particular aspect of clearing clutter
- Time to brainstorm your specific issue, using the group’s ideas, insights and know-how to tap into your own wisdom and find a creative solution
- Time to actually clear some clutter, so you experience concrete progress
- Celebration time, to help keep your momentum going
And here is what you will leave with:
- A greater awareness of what causes your clutter
- Tools and techniques to reduce and remove your clutter while keeping your humour and sanity
- New connections, ideas and inspiration, and
- More time and energy to spend on what matters most to you!

The KMI Master Mind™ helped me in several ways. It increased my subconscious awareness of the clutter in my life—I am seeing things that I hadn’t noticed before, even though I’m not actively looking for them. I'm looking at my clutter control strategy in a new way. I don't hide clutter anymore. I'm now taking possession of my possessions and am focusing on what I really value rather than what I want to cling to. |

Hi, I'm Donna Mills, co-creator and co-facilitator of Creative Clutter Clearing: a KMI Master Mind™.
Clutter clearing has come to the forefront for me because I’m at a point in life where I’m more interested in downsizing than in upscaling.
Finding a gentle, creative way to work with my stuff was the driving force behind applying the KMI Master Mind™ model to the process of clutter clearing. The Master Mind, with its tools, individual and group support, and actual work time, gave me the gentle nudges I needed to start creating an environment that suits me. It’s been a joyful journey!
Credential-wise, I’m certified as a hand analyst, a Kaizen-Muse™Creativity Coach, an ARTbundance™ Coach, a Muse Group Facilitator, a KMI Master Mind Facilitator, and a FranklinCovey™ Coach. All of which means I’m at home working with both right- and left-brained creatives. (And yes, we are all creative!) You can learn more about me at www.printsonpurpose.com.

Our Story
If you have any doubt that clutter is a major challenge for many folks, just check out the self-help section of any bookstore. Perhaps, like us, you have tried other programs and techniques to rid yourself of clutter—programs that told you that "if you just do it this way," your clutter will magically and permanently melt away. If you are reading this, chances are those ‘one size fits all’ programs didn't work for you, either.
So we got together to look at what did help. And to figure out what would make it fun and easy to start and sustain a clutter clearing habit.
The result of that quest was Creative Clutter Clearing: a KMI Master Mind™, which combines creativity and group support with the Kaizen approach of small steps to big results. Because clutter isn't just about having too much stuff! It’s about your relationships, your stories and your history.
Creative Clutter Clearing: a KMI Master Mind™ not only incorporates a variety of the best, most creative tools and ideas. It provides a flexible structure to help you show up, and gentle nudges to keep you accountable but not overwhelmed. It’s a place to explore and experiment with some new ways of relating to and clearing your clutter.
And best of all, you will begin to feel a new sense of abundance and joy as you start your own personal clutter clearing journey!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a master mind work for clutter clearing? I thought master minds were just for business.
KMI Master Minds™ are different. They provide all the wonderful benefits of traditional master minds, with the addition of oodles of creativity and the Kaizen approach. This includes focusing on the process of clutter clearing and taking action steps during each session. Think of clutter clearing as your project or your business. You will have breakthroughs you will be excited to share, and you will have road bumps to navigate with the support and help of your fellow members.
What is Kaizen?
Kaizen is a philosophy of small steps to continuous improvement. The process breaks down large projects into such small, manageable bites that you are able to bypass procrastination and perfectionism--two enemies of real progress. Kaizen defuses resistance and overwhelm and allows you to accomplish your goals in a gentle, safe manner.
What sort of experience do I need to be in a KMI Master Mind™?
No experience is necessary. You don’t need to know about Kaizen or even consider yourself creative. All will be explained in a gentle and fun manner.
How many hours do I need to commit per week?
Each Master Mind is 90 minutes long. During that time, you will be taking small actions on your clutter clearing project. If that is all you want to do, that’s fine. Your time commitment can run the gamut--from the 90-minute Master Mind session only, to any extra minutes or hours you’d like to devote to clearing your clutter between sessions.
What kind of technology do I need?
The Master Mind sessions will take place on a video conferencing platform called Zoom. You can access Zoom via computer/laptop, tablet, or mobile device. You just need to download and install a free piece of software. If you don’t want to videoconference, you can also call into the session via telephone although you may incur long distance charges.
What does KMI stand for?
KMI originally stood for Kaizen-Muse Infused Master Mind™, but that was a bit of a mouthful, so we shortened it to KMI. Kaizen is the approach we use, and the Muses are a whimsical way to refer to creative principles. The muses are taken from Jill Badonsky’s work.
