Welcome
A calmer home, with less effort.
Elegance after sixty isn’t about owning more. It’s about keeping less, and keeping it well: the lamp that flatters the room, the flowers that are alive, the table with room to set a cup down.
Each week, gentle, practical ways to make a home lighter and lovelier. Most of it costs nothing at all.
“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”William Morris, 1880

Why it works
Built for real energy, real homes.

- Easiest first. Week one starts in the spaces with the least emotion attached.
- Decisions made for you. Five questions for any item, and an A–Z of 157 things.
- Kind on harder days. Five-minute and seated versions, and rules for never lifting anything heavy.
- Large print. About 16 point on cream pages, easy on a tablet or printed at home.

Questions
Good to know.
Is this a printed book?
No. It’s a PDF you download straight after checkout. You can read it on a tablet, phone or computer, or print it at home. The quick cards, tracker and box labels are designed to be printed.
Do I have to do it in 30 days?
Not at all. Each day is one small task. Many people take two days off a week, or stretch it over six weeks. There’s a 7-day restart for when life gets in the way.
What if I can’t lift heavy things?
The plan has no-lifting rules, seated versions for harder days, and word-for-word scripts for asking family, neighbors or a local service to help with anything heavy.
I live in an apartment. Will it work for me?
Yes. Days that mention a garage, attic or spare room have apartment swaps.
How big is the print?
The body text is set at about 16 point, larger than most books, on cream pages with lots of space.
What if it isn’t right for me?
