Hi, I’m Fay Wolf. I help creative types declutter their lives and feel better about being adults.
My book New Order: A Decluttering Handbook for Creative Folks (And Everyone Else) is an easy-to-digest How-To for tackling your physical, digital, creative, and inner clutter. It’s available in English (from Ballantine/Random House) + Spanish (from Oberon Libros). And the online course version can be taken from the comfort of your favorite device.
My work has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Apartment Therapy, Better Homes & Gardens, Oprah.com, Refinery29, PopSugar, Huff Post, Wall Street Journal, Bustle, HelloGiggles, and more.
The best way to stay updated is to add yourself to my email list. I share info on decluttering + my own art practice. Thanks for stopping by.

WE DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AROUND HERE...
This isn't about getting it right all the time or the perfect "after" photo. It’s about getting rid of the things that weigh you down and making it easier to do what you wanna do and make what you wanna make.
Oh, and screw perfection. A little better is a little better.
"Fay is dynamic and engaging and full of life in her approach to simplifying spaces in the home, in the head, and in the heart."—Zachary Quinto, Actor/Producer, Star Trek, American Horror Story
"Fay dialed me back in to what's important and reminded me how to prioritize my life. You think you're having a normal conversation, but when it's all over, she's turned you into a warrior of the heart." —Matt Gould, Composer/Director, Witness Uganda, Lempicka

“It's not just about the stuff, it's about the mental clarity, and thanks to Fay, I've got it." —Michael Urie, Actor/Director, Buyer & Cellar, Ugly Betty
“I justified the chaos and clutter in my life for a long time with this idea that I'm just an inherently disorganized person. (After all, I'm creative, maybe tripping over piles of shoes is just part of my process.) I know now that that kind of thinking is truly insane. Fay doesn't change who you are, but she helps introduce systems into your life that make the flow of clutter and stuff more manageable.” —Sian Heder, Writer/Director, Tallulah, Glow
