Hey hey everyone!
It’s been a loooong time since I first ventured out into these blogging streets, but I’m back and haven’t been away without good reason! As you can see when looking around the DeeCluttered website, things look a lot different from the original site. I’ve been working hard on the redesign and have some exciting plans in store for the DeeCluttered brand!
But before I get into what’s new and on the way, let me back up and share a little about myself and how DeeCluttered Professional Organizing got started for those of you who are new around here.
For years, my friends and family told me that I should start an organizing business. That I would be great at it. That there were so many people who would love to have someone help them get their home/office/life in order. I’m almost 100% positive that some of that encouragement came out of them wanting me to stop trying to organize THEIR stuff all the time lol, but it did get the wheels turning in my mind. Even though it sounded like something worth exploring, I didn’t get serious about researching how to start DeeCluttered until 2016.
Around that time I had also decided to get the ball rolling on a dream I’d had for 5 years - to start a nonprofit community center focused on empowering underserved communities. I’ve spent my entire professional life working in the nonprofit sector and this plan was the natural progression of my career and passion. But few dreams are free and this one was no exception! Despite what people like to spread on social media *insert eye roll*, the nonprofit sector isn’t exactly where you go looking for the big bucks (especially in grassroots community health like my area of the field). So in order to have my dream and not go back to living like a struggling grad student, I needed a second hustle that would be flexible once I got my center started.
Enter professional organizing! Not only could it be flexible, it was also something I loved to do as much as my first profession. It seemed like a win all around and I got to work putting together what would become DeeCluttered at the end of 2017. I had two strong years of growth with DeeCluttered, supporting clients and branching out into custom organizing products with my labels.
** Enter COVID **
The pandemic forced me to pivot with the business, transitioning to trying to work with clients virtually and focusing more my labels and new digital products. I also had to pivot with my 9 to 5 after the organization I had been working with for 6 years closed its doors. Life took me away from DeeCluttered for the past few years, but I never lost my love for organizing.
Fast-forward to today and things are moving in the right direction...with some exciting new additions to DeeCluttered offerings coming soon!
Over the next few months you'll see my custom labels make their return, with the launch of new fonts and bundles that help you save money when organizing in common spaces. You'll also see the introduction of some helpful new digital tools to help you get started on your organizing journey and stay on track.
Since these new projects aren't quite ready to launch, I wanted to create something to support your organizing efforts in the meantime. That's where the What's Your Clutter Personality? quiz comes in!
This quiz will help you identify the unique things about your personality that may be contributing to your clutter and give you some tips to get your life in order. Once you take the quiz, you'll also get the free DeeCluttered Home Reset Checklist to help you start getting small wins on your path to a more organized space. I hope you find it helpful!
I’m super excited about the other new offerings I'm working on, so stay tuned for even more from DeeCluttered in the months ahead!
