An online intervention to reduce clutter, save money, and safeguard the planet

Material possessions can be powerfully alluring – whether it’s buying stuff we don’t need or can’t afford, or holding on to things for way too long. To help us overcome this behaviour, Marie Kondo and other decluttering gurus have offered their advice. However, these words of wisdom have not been grounded in scientific research or evaluated for efficacy. This project will be the first to test an online intervention that is based on 20 years of scientific research. Outcomes include an easily accessible and customisable program fit for the general public.
