I write and talk about living with less — the constraint that turns out to be an advantage. I'm the author of Constraint Advantage, host the podcast The Lag, and run Uncluttah, a decluttering practice for rooms, calendars, and heads.
I believe clear is kind, and that the best thing you can add to most things is space.
A little more room, every Sunday.
