Have you ever wanted to do a full day of decluttering, but were worried it would be too challenging? Have you ever pushed yourself through a major decluttering session and felt so exhausted afterwards that you never wanted to try it again?
There’s a better way!
When you:
- know what your goals are
- give yourself a reasonable amount of time to achieve each task
- understand how to pace yourself
- schedule in breaks
- hydrate yourself properly
- stretch your body
- are able to stay motivated and excited about the changes you’re making
- understand how to overcome whatever challenges present themselves…
… you’re much more likely to achieve success!
But what if you need a little helping hand?
My ‘DIY Decluttering Day’ self-directed plan is a scheduled, step-by-step framework that guides you through a whole day of decluttering so that you can get things done without experiencing overwhelm, frustration, or burnout.
The plan sets out an entire day of decluttering, plus breaks, that’s timed for you to carry out over an 8-hour period on any day you choose.
During this 8-hour session, you’ll get just under 5 hours of actual decluttering done. The other three hours include four short breaks, a longer one-hour break for a meal, and a few sit-down sessions where you’ll be thinking, writing, and planning.
The DIY Decluttering Day framework includes 5 audio recordings to listen to at specific times during your 8-hour decluttering session to motivate, guide, and encourage you. Each recording is meant to be played at a specific time during the day, and it’s designed to give you exactly what you need right then. Motivation, encouragement, probing questions, and permission to rest and relax – that’s what I’m there to offer you. I’ll be giving you renewed focus so that you can use the day to its fullest extent and get as much done as possible – without burning out or getting tired. It’ll be like I’m right there with you.
The plan also includes a printable PDF workbook that will help you set your goals for the day and keep track of what you’ve accomplished. This workbook has numbered worksheets to use in conjunction with the audio recordings, so that you can record your planning, your thoughts, your accomplishments, and your next steps.
It’s like having me there alongside you to keep you on schedule, cheer you on, ask the questions that will help you do the work, and remind you to take care of yourself!
If you’d love to set aside an 8-hour block of time for decluttering, but logistical or health constraints keep you from doing those 8 hours in a row, the plan also includes instructions about how to spread those 8 hours over a 2-day period instead, with longer breaks in between physical decluttering times. You can work at your own pace!
Best of all, once you’ve got this plan, you can listen to the audio recordings and use the worksheets over and over again to create your own DIY Decluttering Day whenever you wish. Imagine what you could get done if you set out one day a week to do this for a month, or once a month for a year!
Using the DIY Decluttering Day framework, you’ll be seeing a huge difference in your home in just one day!
