NEWORDER_ART_001_betterperfect.jpg

New Order™ was born in 2006, as a then-"side business" to my artistic career. (spoiler alert: Now I have multiple careers.)

Working with mostly creative folks in their homes, offices, and studios for over 15 years, I’ve developed an interest in the exciting connections between decluttering, productivity, imperfection, and creativity.

In 2016, New Order: A Decluttering Handbook For Creative Folks (And Everyone Else) was released by Ballantine / Random House. The book is a culmination of the work thus far (in how-to form!), and is illustrated by Jeremy Gates. The Spanish edition was released in 2019 by Oberon Libros. Un Nuevo Orden is available here.

I love working with creative folks because I am one. Art-making has brought lots of glee and wonder (and therapy) into my life. And a big reason I've been able to create efficiently is because my decluttering and productivity skills are in check (usually). So it's all connected here, see?

I also do the speaking engagement + Workshop thing.

Topics can lean toward digital clutter, physical clutter, productivity, creativity, or any combo therein. I also may crack a joke or eight. Learn more.

    And Here’s an official Bio and such:

    Fay Wolf founded New Order™ in 2006. Since then, she’s guided hundreds of creative folks (and everyone else) toward less inner and outer clutter, more creativity and productivity, and maybe even a happier adulthood. A keynote speaker at Etsy’s first seller’s conference in New York City, she also has a One-Minute Tip video series with Apartment Therapy and has been featured as an expert on OWN Network's Home Made Simple. Her first book New Order: A Decluttering Handbook For Creative Folks (And Everyone Else), published by Ballantine/Random House, has been praised in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Fast Company, and Refinery29, among others; and Fay was named a 2016 Stylemaker by Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Fay's many celebrity clients were the inspiration for "Order, She Wrote", a scripted short originally released by Hello Giggles, featuring Fay alongside real-life client Emily Deschanel. As an artist, Wolf digs through her own clutter to release songs and creative projects out into the world. Her sad tunes, available on iTunes and Spotify, have been heard on a long list of TV shows, including Grey's Anatomy, The Fosters and the Pretty Little Liars Official TV Soundtrack. She's also acted on stages across the U.S., and in shows like 2 Broke Girls, Children’s Hospital and Bones. Wolf is a Golden Circle member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals and lives on the West Coast.
