Clearing the Clutter

This may be what your office looks like.....
It could be what your office feels like.

Now transfer that into your head - is this what it looks like in there?
Do you have a goldfish running around in there on one of the screens while your other screen is open and featuring goodness knows what because you can't quite put your finger on it?
Are there chairs and clothes and coffee cups all over?

Do you need to de-clutter what is going on in there and find some space?

This is an activity I engage in quite regularly with my clients.  You can call this action any number of things:
De-cluttering
Brain-Dumping
Clearing Head Trash

How does this work?

  1. Clients are open to sharing what is in their head
  2. We chart out their thoughts
  3. We review and focus them into segments or buckets
  4. We take time to determine what can be eliminated or reserved for future action

It helps - once they start to have some clarity around all the things swimming between their ears, they can build a manageable plan of attack.

Want to try it? Let me know - happy to help, of course!
