The 30 / 30 Minimalism Rule: Declutter Your Life in 30 Days

Ready to simplify your life and clear out the clutter once and for all?

Let’s talk about the 30 / 30 Rule—a powerful challenge to help you create space, not just in your home, but in your mind.

Here’s how it works:

  • On Day 1, you let go of 1 item.
  • On Day 2, you part with 2 items.
  • On Day 3, 3 items.
  • And so on… until by Day 30, you’re getting rid of 30 items in one day!

By the end of this challenge, you’ll have removed 465 items that no longer serve you or add value to your life.

Why This Rule Works: The gradual increase in items lets you ease into the process. It starts small, making it manageable, and as you build momentum, you’ll find it easier to make decisions about what truly matters.

Each day, you’ll feel lighter and more in control, as the unnecessary clutter that was once holding you back starts to disappear. Minimalism isn’t just about owning less—it’s about living more intentionally and surrounding yourself only with things that support your goals and bring joy to your life.

The Power of Momentum: One of the best parts of this challenge is the momentum you build along the way. With each passing day, the act of decluttering becomes a habit. As you see your space clearing and your mind becoming more focused, you’ll find it easier to keep going—not just with the challenge but also with other areas of your life. Momentum makes it easier to let go of what no longer serves you and makes the whole process feel more natural and empowering.

Actionable Steps:

  • Start Today: Look around—what’s one thing you can let go of? Something you haven’t used, don’t need, or won’t miss? Release it.
  • Set a Daily Reminder: For the next 30 days, remind yourself each morning to follow the challenge. Make it part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth or having your morning coffee.
  • Reflect on the Journey: As you declutter, take note of how your environment and mindset shift. With fewer distractions, you can focus more on what’s important—whether it’s your goals, relationships, or personal well-being.

Minimalism isn’t about deprivation—it’s about freedom. Freedom from the things that weigh you down and distract you from what really matters. This challenge helps you make room for more of what counts in your life.

Let’s take on the 30/30 Rule together and create space for growth, peace, and clarity.
