Please join an intimate conversation with Leslie Josel (BS ‘85 and member of the President's Council of Cornell Women) to understand the True Cost of Living in the Clutter Culture.

In today’s world, the conversation around clutter has never been louder. With trends like the KonMari Method, Minimalism Challenge, and Swedish Death Cleaning dominating media, we find ourselves hyper-aware of the spaces we live in and the things we own. But have you ever stopped to consider the true cost of your clutter—not just in dollars but in your time, energy, and emotional well-being?


With over 20 years of expertise, Leslie will guide you through the psychology of “stuff” and challenge you to rethink the connection between what’s in your head and what’s under your bed. Walk away equipped with actionable strategies for letting go, scaling back, and making sure that your stuff truly matters.  Together, we’ll explore the deeper impact clutter has on our mental clarity and daily productivity while uncovering why organizing has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry.

Leslie Josel is an organizational coach, ADHD expert, and guest hoarding specialist from the hit TLC show, Hoarding: Buried Alive.  She founded Order Out of Chaos® – a 20+ years company whose mission is to champion parents & professionals raising neurodivergent students. She's an award-winning author of three books, creator of the award-winning “Academic Planner: A Tool for Time Management®,” and an internationally acclaimed speaker.
