Got Clutter? Make 2012 the Year to End It!

If you're ready to bust your clutter once and for all, I'M LOOKING FOR YOU!

You know who you are. Maybe it’s boxes. Or piles. Or drawers that make you cringe every time you open them. The Garage of Doom (or Storage Room of Doom, or Attic/Basement of Doom).

Oh, how you dream of living in one of those zen-like spaces you see in magazines!

Oh, how you envy your naturally-neat-and-organized friends!

You really WANT to unclutter. It’s just actually making it happen that’s the problem.

Perhaps you secretly long for elves to appear while you sleep and clear all the clutter away… but that hasn’t happened yet and you’re starting to realize it never will.

(And though you’d never admit it, sometimes you might even fantasize about a fire burning everything to the ground, just so you can start fresh without having to deal with the overwhelming task in front of you…)

It doesn’t have to be that way!

The secret to accomplishing an enormous task, whether it’s climbing Everest, building Rome, eating an elephant, or busting your clutter, is to do it one, tiny bit at a time.

Every monster project is achievable when you break it down into tiny-enough steps.

“Yeah, but I tried that!” you say? Let me guess: you did it for awhile, but then couldn’t keep up the momentum.

That’s where many naturally-cluttery-types get stuck…

What if you had a whip-cracker to hold you accountable?

What if you had a whole gang of fellow clutter-busters helping you? Not just listening to you complain, but actually coming over to your house and cheering you on?

Wouldn’t you actually get stuff done?

Imagine for a moment if that gang came over and locked you in your house for a week — all day, every day, instead of going to work, you’d be cleaning and purging and sorting. It would be a rough week, for sure, but I bet with 40 hours (48 if you include a weekend day) your space would be transformed.

Seriously, though, a week like that is probably never gonna happen, right?

But what if you spaced that solid week of work out over the span of a year? An hour a week, say — that’s 52 hours over the course of a year. Even a half-hour a week is 26 hours — still a lot. Enough to make HUGE progress.

Well, I DO have a gang that will come over to your house!

Okay, not physically, but virtually. And we’re gonna BUST YOUR CLUTTER!

Announcing the ClutterBusters Pilot Program!

Here’s how it works:

Every week, at the designated time(s), all ClutterBusters dial into a secret hotline. Each caller gets to share what clutter they’re going to bust during the time period of the call, then after a brief pep talk, everyone heads off to bust some clutter right then and there.

We keep the line live, so your ClutterBusting Coach (that’s me!) can shout periodic encouragement, and let you know how much time is left.

This is where I need your help.

I want ClutterBusters to be GREAT — I want it to WORK, and I want it to be as helpful to you as possible.

In order to do that, I need to know what you want.

If you’d like to participate in the FREE month-long pilot program, sign up in the form below (and be sure to click the confirmation link). Then answer the survey questions below that.

FYI, I’ve already scheduled weekly ClutterBuster calls for Mondays at 5pm PST (6pm MST, 7pm CST, 8pm EST), but if there’s enough interest in an additional time slot, I’ll make it happen — so be sure to fill out your preferences below.

YES! Sign me up for the free ClutterBusters Pilot Program!

 


Don’t forget to answer the survey questions! I’ll be tailoring ClutterBusters to YOUR needs, but I’ve gotta know what they are first!
