Ready to exercise your autonomy and make a positive life change?

Starting on January 8, 2025, I’m taking a charter group through “1,2,3…🎬 Action!” Limited to just 6 participants, this 8-week virtual program includes weekly 1.5-hour group sessions and two private coaching sessions with me. Identify one personal or professional goal (e.g. be more courageous, create a website, organize a room) and receive support in achieving it.

We’ll work together to help you gain clarity and create meaningful change.

As a Charter Member, you’ll receive a discounted rate for your feedback.

When I ask clients if they want to keep or  donate items, a common response is “I don’t know.” That phrase extinguishes decision-making. Not only do decisions not get made (resulting in stagnation and clutter), they have told themselves they don’t have answers.  If you relate, what if you followed up with another creative question?  Over my 18 years in business, I’ve compiled a list of “Powerful Questions” to ask when considering keeping or donating.

TIP: As you catch yourself about to say “I don’t know”, try asking a different question and bask in the confidence that you DO know.

Organizing “experts” may claim one way is best.  Truth is, it’s what works for YOU. 

We all have different brain types and preferences.  The key is acknowledging your style and stop perseverating about “being behind”.

Do you prefer restoring order a few minutes daily or prefer 4 hours once a month (project-style)? As you read this, your body & mind will viscerally respond with its preference.  Honor that. 

DECIDE which you’ll try and implement that system for 1 month. You can then make a different decision if needed.

TIP: Release yourself of the other option while you’re committing to one.

If I relied on motivation to get me to my exercise class, I’d never show up.  Instead, I make a commitment. I think about my desired outcome, and what steps I’m willing to do to get what I want. 

Experiment using commitment to organize an area of your home or work. 

TIP:  Release the fantasy that you must feel motivated before taking action.

Can you commit to organizing 10 minutes per day? 1 hour per week? 1 weekend per month?

As always, block that time off in your calendar.

I realize this sounds “idealistic”.  Have you tried it though?

I’ve come up with a strategy (for myself) to keep from accumulating clutter.  When buying something, I pretend the price has another zero on it, or is double the price.  Then I ask “Will I pay this price?”  My answer tells me how much I really want the item.

It may be easy to spend $20 for a t-shirt; do you love it enough to pay $200 though?

TIP: Especially apply this method if an item is FREE.  I once told a client “Free = trouble.” Sometimes, our sound reasoning disappears when we see “free.”
