About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
This is a book about living intentionally and taking responsibility for creating the life you want. It is also a book about what happens when your dog throws up on the carpet and your back inexplicably goes out, and both of your kids come home from school with lice the day before you’re hosting a holiday party (true story).
But let’s back up. I’ve dedicated much of my life and work to solving the challenge of too-muchness, using principles of minimalism as my guide. I’ll admit that while it’s always been easy for me to keep clutter out of my home, balancing all the moving parts of my life has proven to be far more daunting. As a wife, mother, daughter, friend, entrepreneur, and author, it’s easy to feel like I’m always falling short or failing in one area or another, and I often find myself yearning for more hours in the day. And I’m not alone.
Over the course of my lengthy career helping thousands of people organize their homes and lives, I’ve gained an inside perspective on what people are struggling with. Here’s what I’ve learned: So many of us are teetering right on the edge of total burnout, riddled with imposter syndrome, trying to figure out how to continue to do it all while barely keeping it together. If you’re feeling like it’s all too much to manage successfully, that’s probably because it is.
In America, as well as most other Western cultures, we are oversaturated, overstimulated, overextended, overscheduled, and exhausted. The cumulative effects of a cluttered home and life can lead to anxiety, depression, and other serious mental health challenges. Lost passports, missed medical appointments, and cluttered calendars are more than just a minor inconvenience. I’ve been inside the homes of some of the most successful people on the planet, and I’ve been witness to every type of breakdown and tearful confession you can imagine—people at the top of their industries who’ve confessed they can’t even think about getting their house in order because they’re completely depleted, overwhelmed, and underwater in their lives.
Amy, a successful attorney and mother of three, told me she fantasized about getting sick just so she could get a break from her frenetic schedule and spend the day in bed. Elena, a producer in Hollywood, confessed that she sometimes neglected to eat, or even go to the bathroom, because she was so overscheduled. My client Holly only semi-jokingly asked if I could accidentally set her garage on fire so she wouldn’t have to deal with it. Between daily household responsibilities, family and career obligations, and the seemingly endless buzzing of emails, texts, and news notifications clamoring for our attention, it’s only natural to feel a bit like we’re drowning.
Fortunately, there is an actionable antidote to an overextended life, and it involves making better and more intentional decisions about how to invest our precious time, energy, and resources. Since it is impossible to do everything well all at once, it’s up to us to decide what matters most at any given time. Using principles of minimalism to get more intentional about where we place our attention, and simple systems of organization and habit formation to ensure that our priorities get met, we can create more spaciousness, ease, and joy for ourselves, and radically alter the course of our lives—and we can start today!
In my first book, Minimalista, I taught readers how to edit, elevate, and maintain their homes using a minimalist mindset and my fivestep process. In my second book, Organized Living, I brought people inside the homes of twenty-five organizing experts across the globe to illuminate how organization can be leveraged as a tool to create more order, ease, freedom, and joy. In LifeStyled, I will share how you can take these same principles and use them to transform your entire life. I’ll share specific examples from my work with clients as well as my own experiences (we’re in this together!), and provide small, actionable steps you can take to improve every part of your life—from community and relationships to health and wellness, career and finance, and personal development.
Throughout the book, you’ll discover lots of quick and impactful things you can do to make progress—even when you don’t have a lot of time. The methods I teach are approachable, practical, and for everyone.
In part one, I’ll share a simple tool kit and framework you can use to reduce mental clutter and transform how you approach your home, schedule, and life. In part two, I’ll break down specific prompts and strategies to improve every aspect of your life, choose-your-ownadventure style. Throughout the chapters ahead, you’ll see “Try It” or “Quick Win” to cue you when it’s time to reflect, jot down some notes, or take action. Also look out for “Fifteen-Minute Wins,” tiny things you can integrate or practice to start seeing results now. Little effort, big reward. This entire book is designed so you can revisit individual chapters any time to recalibrate as your values and priorities shift and evolve. I want to help you activate your best self, even if you’re short on time or capacity. If you’re one of those people who’s like, “Just cut to the chase and tell me what to do” (I am that person, too.), I’ve provided a concise roundup of small, actionable prompts you can pick and choose from to get started right away on page 236.
Before we get started, I want to acknowledge that crafting an intentional life can feel more possible—both intellectually and functionally— depending on your access to resources and privilege. This pursuit is made more challenging by very real cultural and systemic obstacles, including poverty, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination. The philosophy and perspective shared in this book are informed by my own lived experience (one of a decent amount of privilege with some challenges woven in), but guided primarily by my intention to share methods and strategies that will be universally applicable and useful. The goal is to empower you to take specific and consistent actions toward a more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling life—whatever that may look like for you.
I truly believe that no matter who you are, and how you’re feeling right now, you’re only a few decisions away from beginning to completely transform your life. I promise you this: If you commit to completing even a fraction of the steps outlined ahead, you will see real and powerful changes start to occur. Relief is on the way.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024If you've scrolled down to the reviews, rest assured this book is a MUST READ. The hardest part about getting through Life Styled was: every time I sat down to read a few pages, I'd feel motivated to go fix or re-organize something. Shira's tone is gentle and wise and she discourages over-rotating on organizing / streamlining efforts but rather takes a practical approach, which (IMO) makes every effort much more sustainable. Life Styled will support whatever area of your life needs more intention: health, relationships, finance, home. I LOVE her philosophy around creating a low-bar morning routine and her guidance around using a calendar to both plan and enjoy your day. The photography in this book is beautiful, Shira's anecdotes are powerful. This book would make the BEST gift for a mom, sister, teacher- anyone really!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024LifeStyled by Shira Gill is an inspiring and practical guide for anyone looking to transform their daily routines and spaces into personal goals and values. This book effortlessly blends insightful advice with actionable strategies, making it relatable and highly effective for readers at any stage of their organizational journey.
The book is filled with simple yet impactful tips for decluttering, time management and designing a lifestyle that aligns with your true intentions. It’s not just about organizing your space; it’s about reshaping your mindset to embrace purpose and joy in every corner of your life.
One of the standout features is how adaptable the strategies are—whether you're a busy parent, a professional juggling work and home life, or someone seeking clarity amidst the chaos, LifeStyled meets you where you are. The beautifully designed pages and thoughtful exercises make the journey toward intentional living feel exciting rather than overwhelming.
Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024The world and our lives seem to be getting faster, more complex, overwhelming and chaotic by the day – not a great recipe for physical or mental health. No one has all the answers for more simplified and sane living but Shira Gill has a lot of the ingredients, which she presents beautifully and coherently in her latest offering: LifeStyled. I love that her writing and the book’s presentation match the intention. Her voice is personal, encouraging, warm and real. The generous content is well organized, clear, accessible and easy to turn into manageable actions. A great gift for yourself and others you care about!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024This book is on par with “Minimalista” - practical and full of ideas that you can actually implement, while also funny, beautiful, and enjoyable to read. I’ve already de-cluttered my phone and figured out why my morning routine wasn’t working. Can’t wait to finish reading this one!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2024Shira Gill's LifeStyled book is just as amazing as her first two! Her thoughtful and easy-going style, personal and client anecdotes and beautiful photos make this one of the better lifestyle advice books I've read. She has quick action items in each section that make it easy to start implementing small changes into different areas of your life. The advice about "adjusting the volume" of our lives and creating systems in health to home to finances really resonated with me even though I'm in a different stage of life and a different situation from Shira. I highly recommend this book, whether you're new to personal development or really experienced.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024I loved Shira’s first book Minimalista and was excited to get this book right away. Like all of her books, this one is very organized and easy to reference later. She makes the steps in the guide so easy to understand and feel doable in real life. The examples are relatable and the advice is customizable. There are many prompts that will have you truly evaluating your lifestyle and inspire you to make changes that are important to you. I really enjoy her writing because it’s easy to digest and at times quite humorous. Everyone who is into minimizing, de-stressing, and just prioritizing their life could benefit from this book. If you’re on the fence then download the free kindle sample. You could also check out Shira’s blog or listen to her on one of the podcasts she has been on to get an idea of her writing style and advice. Lastly, the book is a nice neutral cover and makes a nice display or coffee table book. Overall, I’m happy with this book and would recommend it to others.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024Beautiful, elegant, concise, warm, witty, and deeply human. What's not to love? Just having it on my lap is a comfort.
