Back when I took art classes, my teacher would have us draw something with lots of care and attention. She would have us rip it up once it looked like we were pretty satisfied with the piece. Yep. Our wonderful art would get ripped up—such a hard way to learn that lesson. But we had to let it go.
Fast forward to this month when I spent most of June with the idea that I was going to create a 90-day declutter program that could get to anyone in the world by text. I had everything ready - all 90 days laid out. EXCEPT the tech isn't there to do this. And I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make it work. I was so invested in this idea of it being by text and was doing everything I could to make it work. But I was stressed unnecessarily and it wasn't working. So I ripped it up. Well, not all of it but the text part - that's completely gone.
What came out of ripping that part of the idea up? Well I'm actually pretty excited. Introducing:
The 90 Day Declutter Program
What it is -
You get an email from me every day for 90 days
Each email is fairly short - most are only 1-2 sentences long
I take you through the declutter process step by step
It's only 15 minutes a day
I have days built in where you take the items to the donation center/bins
We go through your whole home
You learn the decluttering habits so when it's over you can continue on your own if you want
What it won't be -
Hurried - it's a very low-key pace because slow and steady win the race
Overwhelming - we work in small bursts to keep everything from feeling too big a project
We are not tackling the harder-to-declutter stuff (that's for one-on-one coaching)
So ripping up the idea of doing this by text worked because now I'm more relaxed and excited to share this with you.
*Update - this has now been made into two different programs:
30-Day Declutter Program - for an introduction to decluttering in a simple, manageable, and effective way.
Declutter Your World - a roadmap to help you declutter your whole home in 3-6 months.
