    A LITTLE ABOUT ME

    My name is Monica Leed, and Im an art director, professional organizer, entrepreneur, and principal founder of Simply Spaced, LLC a professional organizing company headquartered in Los Angeles. With a background in design and ten years of work in the film industry, Ive transferred my passion for efficient space design, time management, and the power of organizational systems into a growing company that helps people get organized across many areas of their lives. In 2011, life threw me an unexpected curve ball when I got in a serious car accident. At the time, I was living a hectic all-work-and-no-play lifestyle with an out-of-balance home life that left me feeling stuck and overwhelmed. The universe dealt me a blow and forced me to take a step back and focus on the things that mattered most, like my family, my husband, and my well-being. So, I decided to get rid of the inessential extraneous things in my life and I began, what organizers deem decluttering, my home and life. In a time of healing, I started to clear out the physical clutter and, like magic, unearthed an entirely new perspective. I learned that simplicity wasnt just a trend, it was the catalyst for creativity. I wrote a screenplay. I launched a business and I learned that a less-is-more approach to life spoke to far more than the number of shoes in my closet.

    My passion for creating livable spaces led me to professional organizing at a time when the field was really beginning to hit its stride. What I found missing from the newly-popularized decluttering movement, however, was any mention of style. After years of creating environments that told a story for fictional characters, I was drawn to the idea of helping real people curate their own spaces to reflect their real lives. I believe everyone deserves to live in a home that inspires creativity, calm, and purpose, regardless of its size.

    You wont walk into my house on any given day and see it looking like my Simply Spaced Instagram feed (follow me if you dont already!), which is aspirational and showcases my organizational systems at their peak. The photos capture perfectly decluttered, tidied spaces that have been styled by a team of people over the course of several days in preparation of the photo shoot. Of course, this doesnt mean its fake. Its real, just not real life.

    Now that you know a bit about me, tell me about you. What is your story? What would your home tell me if I stepped through the front door? Also, do me a favor and stop apologizing for the imperfections and forget about ever being perfectly organized. Being organized is a journey, not a destination. You will never have all your stuff togetherand what fun would that be anyway? The goal is to feel in control. People are so fascinated by the phenomena behind organization and tidying up right now, but as someone who has been doing this for seven years, I am not surprised at all. I know what it feels like to live in chaos, and Ive also seen lives change when they take back control.

    WHY GET ORGANIZED?

    This is a common question we ask ourselves all the time. The truth is, most of us dont need perfectly folded clothes tucked neatly in color-coded drawers, but rather a relief from our frenetic, out-of-control, distracted lives. But how do we create such a serene lifestyle? Where does it start? The first step is to look at our home, since it is, by nature, a reflection of ourselves. How we set up our living space either supports, or thwarts, our flow. When we stop and really think about the sheer amount of time we spend in our homes, we soon see the significance of how it makes us feel. When out of balance, our home can drain energy and stymie our progress. However, when it is in alignment, our home becomes the energy source that propels us to realize our wildest dreams and live our most rewarding life. We are hard wired to crave three things: ease, order, and inspiration, and this book will give you everything you need to arrange your home to attract all three.

    Yes, this is a blueprint for clearing clutter, but even more importantly, its a guide to becoming aware of your relationship with your environment and how it affects your life. Its not enough to just declutter and give everything away without first committing to a shift in perspective and desire for clarity. You will see in the following pages that once youve cleared some space, youll feel excited to create a home that feels beautiful and intentional, but my greatest wish is that youll feel empowered. Your environment shapes, and sometimes dictates, how you feel and behave. My goals are to (1) draw attention to your habits and offer simple solutions that reduce feeling overwhelmed, and (2) help you to clear the physical and mental clutter thats holding you back, while giving you permission to be a hot mess in the process.

    This book is meant to be a guide for those of us who often get caught up in a bigger, better, someday way of thinking. That is, a bigger house will solve all our problems, a better life exists elsewhere, or someday I will have a happy home. After six years of working as a professional organizer, Ive learned that more space only means more headaches if you cannot get to the root of your mess. If you fail to get a handle on your clutter and get intentional about your shopping, youll spend the rest of your life treading water in a bigger fish bowl. I challenge you to see the house you live in right now as an asset in your life, rather than the enemy, so lets take a moment for gratitude and commit to aligning with that ideal home now.

    LETS BE REAL

    As with any organization project, you will certainly hit roadblocks. You may get frustrated; you may cry; and it probably wont be easy at first, but in this awareness, youll unleash your intrinsic power. Once you get started, you will find yourself begin to let go of your attachmentsand frustrationsand in the process learn some tips, experience unexpected joy, let go of negative energy, and move on to the important things life has to offer.

    I know this process works because I have seen real-life results over the years with my clients. They got their houses in order and their lives changed. They conquered fears, birthed children, married, divorced, wrote books, launched careers, and realigned with their purpose. Im so excited for it to happen for you. My hope is that you use these tools and concepts to shift your mindset around clutter and accumulation. Im teaching you a shorthand and giving you a handbook so that you can set up your house to run it like a boss.

    Heres a scenario I have seen play out time and time again: one partner, usually the main breadwinner, decides to buy a house. All the money goes into that big and beautiful home. If theres money left over, it is used to buy furniture, a smaller amount is spent on styling and almost nothing is allotted to organization and maintenance. The responsibility of maintaining the house falls onto one domestic partner, who eventually becomes distraught over trying to balance the houses never-ending upkeep with his or her own personal life and career responsibilities, and everyone is overwhelmed, resentful, and feeling malaise at home. By domestic partner, I dont necessarily mean a non-working partner, since very often one person assumes the responsibility of domestic management while also working a full- or part-time job. So, what can be done? My goal is to convince you that the organizational systems you set up in your home are as important, if not
