Frequent Questions
How does it work?
After you sign up, you will receive a welcome text message. If you register today, your first challenge will start tomorrow morning at 9 am your local time. Your receipt will come via email.
Every morning for 30 days, I’ll send you a short audio message by text message to your mobile phone explaining your decluttering challenge for that day. When you’ve completed the task, you’ll text me back so I can congratulate you.
This challenge is flexible- if you’re going away or need to pause, you can stop and start at any time. All you need to do is reply STOP to stop or pause receiving new messages and then reply START to begin again.
After I purchase the challenge, when will it start?
If you register today, you will immediately receive a welcome text message and your first challenge will arrive tomorrow morning at 9 am your local time.
What happens when the challenge is over?
When the challenge is over you will feel so proud of yourself for all you have accomplished to create more order and peacefulness in your home! By taking small steps everyday for 30 days, you can get a lot accomplished. Plus, I’ll send you a fun “certificate” acknowledging that you’ve completed the program.
What happens if I miss a day?
If you’re unable to complete the challenge for one day, you will still have access to the audio message on your smartphone, so you can listen or relisten to the audio message anytime and send the reply word when you’ve finished. However, one of the reasons I love this new program and hope you will too, is the accountability aspect. By responding to the SMS message each day, you’ll hold yourself accountable for accomplishing each task and stay on track all 30 days.
As a reminder, if you would like to stop or pause these messages, just reply STOP at any time. Reply START to begin again.
I have already read your book, is this still for me?
Even if you’ve read my book, Outer Order, Inner Calm, this simple tool will help you implement all the ideas and tips, plus it offers accountability that a book simply can’t. These daily challenges offer a combination of practical support, outer accountability, and fun to help you follow-through on creating outer order.
What countries does this work for?
The 30-day challenge is available in the US and Canada via SMS, or in any other country through WhatsApp.

This is by far the most useful/productive challenge of any type I’ve ever done. I was actually looking forward to getting the texts each day and loved the accountability without feeling hounded. I would love for the challenge to last longer – it was a great experience!

I really wanted to get organized but it felt so overwhelming. This broke it down into easy, manageable steps. I looked forward to my “task of the day.” I also felt that texting back when I finished a task kept me accountable.
