Did you know that decluttering can be fun, energizing and give you a confidence boost?

This might not have been your experience so far!

But have you ever been in a small group of supportive peeps before?  All rooting for you, and decluttering their home too?

Even though you know the benefits of creating a tidy and organized home, decluttering isn’t as easy as it sounds when you have ADHD.

Taking action feels daunting (where to start!) and exhausting. It’s easy to put it off for another day. And another one…  :)

There’s an unexpected knock at your front door. It’s your best friend. She is in the neighbourhood and decided to stop by on the off chance you were home.

You welcome her inside, and feel so proud that you can do this. In the past you would have stalled her at the doorway and suggested you go out for coffee. Anything but let her see your messy home.

While you are in the kitchen making the tea you can hear her admire the nice smell (your new Jo Malone candle) and when you walk into the living room you see her enjoying looking at the bookshelves with your favourite books and travel souvenirs out on display.

It feels SO nice to be a relaxed host and enjoy your friend’s company.

Or

You walk into your home office and it feels spacious. It’s still the same physical size as it’s always been but it seems bigger. You notice your desk that you have had for years and feel a rush of happy emotions. It’s completely clear except for a pretty pen pot holding pens that all work! You casually open one of the desk drawers and admire the organization. You can see each item that is in there. Nothing has been crammed in. If you need your stapler you can find it in seconds. You notice your certificates on the wall for the first time in a long time, and feel proud.

It feels good to be in this room and you can’t wait to come back with your morning coffee and start your day.

Or…

It’s time to declutter your home… one room at a time!

I am not one of those people who was born with an organization gene. Far from it. My default mode is messy.

My mum is the opposite. She is a super organized and tidy person, and she created a lovely family home for us all. That meant I didn’t even know I had a problem until I left home for university when I was 18 years old.

My tiny student room was a mess the whole time I was there.

At the time I thought it was because the space was small, or because I was busy with my studies. But when I got my first apartment and my first job as a qualified nurse, the mess followed me. That’s when I knew I had a problem.

Because this was the start of my ‘real’ life, I didn’t want to be messy any more.

I looked for ways that worked for me to be organized and tidy. Not just because I wanted my home to look nice, but also because of how it made me feel. My head felt organized and I felt less anxious and worried when my environment was neat.

Fast forward a couple of decades…

Being tidy still doesn’t come naturally to me, but I have a system that helps me to keep a tidy space. That means I am productive, focused, proactive and feel calm inside.

It’s the same system that has helped many adults with ADHD to declutter and maintain a tidy environment and it can help you too!

Introducing The Decluttering Project

21 Days to a Shiny, Spacious and Fabulously Organized Room.

It’s time to energize and motivate you so that you can give your home a makeover.

The decluttering project is designed to energize and motivate you, so that in 21 days you will have one beautiful decluttered and organized room.

Now, you might be thinking, “But all my rooms in my home are a mess. I can’t just declutter one.”

That’s okay. That’s normal!

The thing is, when your goal is to declutter ‘everywhere,’ your energy is diluted. It’s hard to know where to start and you might get an overwhelming urge to take a nap or watch Netflix.

The opposite happens when you narrow your focus to one room.

Your energy actually increases, and because it is easier to see progress, you feel motivated to keep going until the room is completely clear of clutter and well organized. Yes, even the drawers and closets.

Q and A

When does the course start?

We start on September 25th! 

I am already a member of Clear and Calm. Do I get a discount? 

Yes you do! Email [email protected] for your discount code.

Why 21 days?

21 days is a good length of time to see significant results without it dominating your life. You still have your day job and loved ones to spend time with.

You aren’t a hoarder but have enough piles of ‘stuff’ that if a friend dropped by unannounced you would feel very embarrassed.

• Are you clutter-blind and don’t really see the mess until you have been on vacation or are expecting a visitor, and then you notice it everywhere with fresh eyes?
• Or do you see the piles of stuff every day, but have no motivation or energy to put things away?
• Does your head feel unorganized because your ‘stuff’ is everywhere?
• Does it take you a long time to find your passport or other important item when you need it?
•  Do you feel anxious when you need an item for work and you aren’t sure where it is?
• Do you tidy up before the cleaner arrives? 
• Has ‘declutter’ been on your do list for as long as you can remember?
• Do you have cool furniture and interesting ornaments that are hidden by the clutter?

It’s about understanding how your ADHD symptoms show up in relation to email, AND then using ADHD-friendly strategies that are do-able for you, so you can be productive and have peace of mind.

Inbox management is bigger than keeping on top of your emails, it’s about relationships and showing people you care. Plus, it’s a way to demonstrate how capable you are (even if you don’t feel like you are at the moment).

Even if you have never been able to keep on top of emails before, or have tried techniques in the past that didn’t work or weren’t sustainable, it is possible to tame your inbox!

I have been helping individual clients with their email management for over a decade. My clients range from super users, who get hundreds of emails a day, to more casual emailers who use email as a way to keep in touch with friends.

That is why The Email Club! was created. I decided to put all that knowledge into a comprehensive step by step system that will help you to feel in control of your inbox and your life!

I use Outlook/Gmail/Yahoo! Will this course help me?

Yes! The Email Club will help you manage your emails no matter what platform you use! The course is about the operator (you) and your habits rather than the specific technology you use.

I get 70 emails a day. Will The Email Club help me?

Absolutely, the module that will be especially beneficial to you is step 4, the “Processing” Module. It outlines a method that will help you quickly know what to ‘do’ with each email when it arrives. Also in the Organize module we talk about how get your inbox to zero (if that goal excites you)

The thing that causes me the most stress is the possibility of missing important to-do items. Does The Email Club address this?

This is a really common issue with ADHDers and email. Its a topic we cover in Step 2, the Reduce Module.

I am not good at technology;Can I still take The Email Club?

Don’t worry. This isn’t an advanced technology course. If you know how to send, receive and delete emails, you are all set.

I am very busy! How much time will it take?

The course was designed with the busy ADHDer in mind. You will only need 10 minutes a day to turn the steps of the course into habits. The Email Club is a happy balance of enough information that will help you feel informed and ready to take action without causing information overload or being time consuming.

How long does The Email Club last?

The email club is a 6-week course. However, you have the content forever! Don’t worry if you go on vacation or get busy at work. You can come back to the course when your life has settled down again.

How long are the videos?

The videos are made with the busy ADHDer in mind. Each video is 5 minutes or less.

 Here is what one ADHDer said.

 “Jacqueline! You seem to have a natural ability to break information down and zone in on what is important. Plus, you give solutions in such a way that I can’t wait to jump into action. Thank you!”

How many videos in a Module?

It varies with each topic; however 5 is average.

What format is the content delivered?

Each step includes videos (with slides). There are also PDF versions of the slides, so whether you are a visual or auditory learner, you will be able to enjoy the great content.

How long are the group Q and A calls?

It depends how many questions there are. Usually Q and A’s in other courses I offer run a little over an hour. I will keep answering questions until they have all been addressed!

Will the group Q and A calls be recorded?

Yes! The recordings will be posted in the course library where you can access them any time. If you have questions and can’t attend live, just email them to me, Jacqueline and I will be sure to answer them all.

Is there a refund policy or guarantee?

Absolutely! There is a 30 day guarantee. If you implement the strategies yet don’t see any results, send me an email within 30 days of purchase. I will be happy to issue a full refund.

Is there any one-on-one time with you in the program?

There isn’t any one-on-one time with me in this program.  However, you are more than welcome to book an individual coaching session if you would like some additional support.

I am confused! If there is no one-on-one time with Jacqueline, so who are the monthly Q and A calls with?

The Q and A calls are with me, Jacqueline! I love interacting with the course members, so the Q and A calls and comments within the course are all replied to by me personally. Because the Q and A calls are ‘group,’ they aren’t technically one-to-one time with me.
