How to Declutter Your Life and Your Business

Organisation and decluttering are essential for maintaining productivity, focus, and growth in life and business. By implementing a few simple strategies, you can create an environment that is conducive to success. Decluttering your physical space, setting routines and goals for yourself, and utilising tools such as calendars and task lists are all great ways to keep yourself organised. With a little time and effort, you can create an efficient system that will help you reach your goals more quickly. But how do you do that? In this episode with Lesley Spellman, we will talk about how to organise and declutter your work environment so that you can focus on being more productive and growing your business.

Lesley Spellman lives in Manchester with her husband and three grown-up kids who keep her feet firmly on the ground! She has been running the Clutter Fairy business with her lovely team for over 12 years in Manchester, UK. She also partnered with her friend, Ingrid Jansen, to start The Declutter Hub. The spark was initiated after crossing paths in March 2012 at the first Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO) conference. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
