Does your clutter lurk in dark corners or in deep drawers?
Has it found a way to multiply when you step out of the room?
Is it hiding in your closets? Tucked away in boxes? In countless files on your computer? In plain view on open shelves, table tops, and counters? Or does mental clutter keep you from focusing on what really matters?
If you want to:
- Reduce the clutter in your life, but don't know where or how to start
- Understand why you have clutter, and gently change your relationship with it
- Focus on one (or several) of your personal clutter ‘favorites’
- Find support, systems and strategies that work for you
- Build sustainable momentum towards clearing your clutter
- Have more time and energy for the things that matter most to you,
then Creative Clutter Clearing: a KMI Master Mind™
is for you!

Clutter is more than just excess stuff. It comes in many forms, and can make competent, capable people like you feel overwhelmed, guilty and inept.
Would you like to:
If your answer is “Yes!” then join us for one, two, three, four, five or six sessions of Creative Clutter Clearing: a KMI MasterMind™. |

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! |
And you can RELAX,
because there's no judgment here!

After

Yep, we (Mary and Donna) have clutter, too. Piles here and there, some hidden in drawers, binders and manila folders, some tucked away in closets or digital files. So what makes us qualified to offer a KMI Master Mind™ on clutter clearing?
Because we have been able to shift our perceptions and build a gentle and sustainable method of clearing 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 |
Here's what each 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

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! |
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. |

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!

Clutter has been an issue all my life. But until recently, I just didn't know how to deal with it in a positive and productive way. This master mind’s practical tips and tools, and imaginative and creative setting, helped me move past overwhelm and guilt into playful productivity. I can't wait to share these with you. As well as being a creative clutter clearer, I am a Master Kaizen-Muse™ Creativity Coach, a Master Kaizen-Creative NLP™ Practitioner, a Modern Day Muse Group™ Facilitator, a KMI Master Mind™ Founder and Facilitator, and a Co-Proprietress of The Purple Ink Cafe.

Hi, I'm Donna, 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. |
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, but add 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.
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.
