Mastering Clutterfree Living Step 2: Create a Strategy

Posted by Carolyn on

Create a Strategy and Find your Stepping Stones

After getting really clear on your goals, mastering clutterfree living step 2 is to create a strategy.  A strategy gives you a set of stepping stones to success.  It’s like using a map; once you know where you want to end up, finding the road to take is easier. The Waze app can’t find you a route until to say where you are going.

Here are some simple guidelines to creating the strategy for your clutterfree living goals:

  1. Break it down, break it down, break it down.  And then break it down again.  The most common reason clients don’t succeed at their decluttering projects is that they make the steps too big.  They end up frustrated and discourage.  Want to declutter the garage?  Start with getting the clutter out of your car.  Want to declutter your kitchen? Take it one shelf, one drawer or one utensil tray at a time.  Success is more likely and you will feel better.
  2. Look for the next best step.  Make it easy. Starting the kitchen with the pantry? Take it one shelf at a time.  With that complete, try using that dry-goods success to tackle another cupboard.
  3. Stick with each step until its complete.  Starting with the pantry? Finish each shelf before you move to the food container drawer. That way you can enjoy your accomplishment as each section is complete.
  4. dishesPurge before you splurge!Before you head to the basket/bin/box store to buy the best container to replace open bags of pasta, clear out the old pasta hiding at the back of that pantry shelf.  Find out exactly how many containers you need based on the END of the purging exercise.  That way you will know the size, shape, volume, type and number of containers you need for only the items you are keeping.

Digital Declutter For a Clutterfree Business

Posted by Carolyn on
 September 27, 2020

In adversity lies opportunity ….

and a chance for a digital declutter and a clutterfree business.

What a year 2020 has  been….

With the world in the grip of a global pandemic, I hope that you have stayed well.

Like many people, lockdown during the pandemic has offered me a time for reflection.  Like many people, I have revised my business to make more sense in the increasingly digital world in which we live.

With changes afoot, it was time to give my audience an update. Here is a digital declutter and a clutterfree business update from 2020 thus far.

Too Much Stuff!

Following the establishment of Caldwell Evolution Inc in 2016, I used the brand Altered Organization to represent the organizing side of the business. Caldwell Evolution became the brand for coaching, productivity and all my other professional work.  A good idea at the time. Instead, however, I had created a lot of digital assets to be managed. They included a couple of Facebook pages, groups and Instagram accounts. The result was a lot to look after and it wasn’t being handled very well.  There was more to schedule.  There was more to post. Nothing was getting done.

Simplifying and Decluttering

What then, does a productivity coach and professional organizer do when looking for  digital declutter and clutter free business?

Declutter

It was time for digital and brand decluttering.

Taking a page out of my own client handbook, I have spent 2020 decluttering the business and online presence of Caldwell Evolution Inc.  Here are some changes that you may have noticed:

1. Caldwell Evolution Inc services are all consolidated under one brand.  Altered Organization as a brand has been retired. You can find information on all services one website www.caldwellevolution.com. 

2. Instagram has been consolidated.  You can find Instagram stories and Instagram posts all under the one brand Caldwell Evolution.

3. The @wellrich Twitter account has been brought in line with the Caldwell Evolution branding.  You can find me there @CaldwellEvolutn.

4. The Altered Organization Facebook page has been merged with Caldwell Evolution Organizing and Productivity. I invite you to join us in the new Caldwell Evolution Facebook group, Mastering Clutterfree Living.  Here you can find tips, strategies, challenges and conversation with other individuals seeking a more clutterfree, productive life.

5. On Pinterest, you can find me @caldwellevolution
Check out my LinkedIn profile which has also had a declutter fresh look.

Hopefully, these changes make resources and information easier to find. This will help your efforts to create clarity, create space and accelerate your evolution to the best version of you. My intention is that you find this simplified, decluttered digital presence helpful.  I would love you hear your comments.
