The part nobody tells you

You were sold more storage, so you'd keep buying.

The bins

More plastic binsOne rule at the door

Every clear-out ends with a trip for more bins. Bins remove nothing, they only hide it. Many Japanese homes start at the door, by deciding what never comes in.

The bottle

A shelf of spraysOne cloth, one brush

A different spray for every room. Most everyday jobs need one cloth, one brush and one plain cleaner, used a little and often.

The weekend

A lost Saturday5 minutes a day

That a clean home costs you a whole Saturday. Done in the same order every day, it takes five minutes, and the mess never gets the chance to build.

If the clutter came back every time, it was never your fault. Nobody showed you where it starts.
— Gary Sato

Built to use, not to sit on a shelf

Open to any fix and you can start.

Every fix is two pages: the photo first, then the whole method on one page, with a warning wherever a surface could be damaged.

Why this book exists

One comment under my video. That's where it started.

Gary Sato
A note from Gary

Under my video on decluttering, a viewer wrote: “I have been battling with the declutter dilemma for years. I spend hours upon hours and barely make a dent.” She was organized. She was trying hard. And the stuff still won.

That is the trap. Nearly all the advice tells you what to do with the things already in your house. A Japanese home starts one step earlier, at the door. What never gets in never has to be sorted, stored or dusted.

So I wrote the whole method down, in plain words: what stays out, the few minutes a day that keep a house clean, and the old habits that keep it warm and stocked for less. Read one chapter, try it tonight, and see for yourself.

Gary

One fix in every chapter

What you were told, and what works.

Six of the fixes from the book.

What you were told— the usual way, as sold —

Book part

More bins and basketsKeep It Out

One rule at the door: decide what never comes in, then refuse, dispose, separate.

Stocking up in bulk to save moneyKeep It Out

Buy bulk only when it really gets used, and keep every shelf where you can see it.

A whole Saturday of scrubbingKeep It Clean

Five minutes in a fixed order, at the same time every day.

Salt and vinegar to clear a drainKeep It Clean

A hot soapy flush does the work. The fizz is only gas.

Bleach on every patch of moldKeep It Warm and Stocked

Fix the water first, then soap and warm water, and dry it well.

Closing all the vents in empty roomsKeep It Warm and Stocked

Close no more than about one vent in five, and never block a return.

What's inside

From the front door to the first frost.

Questions

Before you start.

Is a paper book coming in the mail?
No, and I say it plainly so nobody is surprised. This is a digital book, a PDF. Nothing ships. Seconds after you pay it opens on your phone, and the same link waits in your email.
I am not good with computers.
You do not need to be. You press one button and the book opens. No account, no password. If it does not open, write to me below and I will help you, or give you your money back.
Do I need Japanese products or a Japanese house?
No. Every fix is written for an ordinary American or Canadian house or apartment. Each Japanese word is explained once, in plain English, and most of what you need is already in your home.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, one time. No membership, nothing monthly.
What if I lose the file?
Use the "Lost your book?" link at the bottom of this page, type the email you bought with, and the link comes right back.
What if it is not for me?
You have 7 days to tell me, and you get your money back. You keep the book either way.

Questions before you buy?

Write to me here and I answer. Every message comes straight to me.

Tonight could be the last time you clean up the same mess.

Gary wrote down the whole method. All you have to do is start at the door.
