Organizing Made Simple – It’s Boot Camp Timeboot-camp

Boot Camp, by far, has proven to be the most requested and successful event that I present.  It’s a program like no other.  So back by popular demand, I will be taking Roll Call the week of February 15, 2016.

What is Boot Camp?
A training program that can possibly change your life!

Why Boot Camp?
You see, it has been my experience that people who struggle with task management, procrastination, and clutter have “something” in common. That something is the lack of follow-through.

 

What I also found is that people sometimes equate the experience of following through with the word “discipline” which can conjure up negative feelings, possibly an experience of punishment or something of that nature.

 

Now this belief system can potentially limit them in this area until one comes from a place of understanding and acceptance, but I also found that sometimes, yes, sometimes, the best way to overcome the lack of follow-through is to just jump in with a “Boot Camp” attitude.

 

With your new “Boot Camp” attitude, you will no longer be saying things such as this:

  • “I can’t take it anymore”
  • “I can’t stand myself for being late”
  • “I’m so overwhelmed & frustrated”
  • “I’m so embarrassed I can’t have anyone over”
  • “I feel like a failure”
  • “I have too many things going on”
  • “I’m such a mess”

What can you expect from Boot Camp?

  • To be challenged.
  • To break self-defeating patterns.
  • To experience giving and receiving support.
  • To be part of a team.
  • To feel like a winner.

Now don’t worry, there will be no one dressed in army fatigues screaming at you, but there may be whistles, alarm clocks and a few obstacle courses… (lol) boot camp

 

Here’s how it works:

 

Step One

You will show up to a Group Conference Call with everyone who has enrolled in Boot Camp.  There will be a meet and greet and sharing of each person’s challenge and struggle. This will now be your Peer Support Group to access through your training.  Count on making new friends. Date:  February 15, 2016.

Step Two

You will send me pictures/video of your entire home and/or office environment.  I understand I will be entering your world and I take that invitation very seriously.  You can count on confidentiality, respect and no judgement.

 

Step Three

We will set up a private one hour conference call, otherwise known as an “Intake Session” to review your pictures.  This session allows me the opportunity to assess your living conditions and consult with you in a very private and personal way. This will be invaluable information for me to understand you better, i.e., patterns, behaviors, circumstances. This must be completed the week of February 15, 2015.

 

Step Four

You will be given a suggested plan of action which will take into consideration your ability to invest physically, emotionally and financially.  And I’ve added something new!  You will now have your very own Personal Accountability Tracking Form to measure your progress for the 7 weeks in Boot Camp!  Awesome!!!

 

Step Five

We will engage in a one-on-one weekly coaching program for 30 minutes for a period of 7 weeks.  That’s a total of seven (7) sessions.  They will be set each week on the same day and same time.  In these sessions we will:

  • Set your agenda for the devised plan
  • Create next steps
  • Have deliberate target dates
  • Have measurable outcomes

Step Six

We will develop a “Best Practice” for you to then utilize moving forward in your organizing pursuits and maintenance routine.

 

Step Seven

You will attend two more Group Coaching Calls.  Halfway through and then at the closure.

 

Please Note:  Our time together is considered just like “Real Time.”  You have the option to engage via internet, telephone or Skype. This is a modality that I have used for many years to service clients nation wide and is just as effective as if I were there “live.”

 

What Does Boot Camp Cost? bootcamp

 

For the “purpose” of Boot Camp I am making an outrageously low offer that you simply will not be able to resist…that is, if you are truly serious about seizing an amazing opportunity to change the course of your life.

 

Remember, you will receive a private, one-on-one consultation & assessment with me and seven private coaching sessions.  A value worth thousands of dollars.  But for this Boot Camp Special the price is an amazingly low price of only $399.99

 

Since I am only able to take a handful of clients at this deeply discounted offer, you will have to act swiftly if you want to guarantee your spot in Boot Camp.

 

So show me your new Boot Camp attitude and…

Once you register you will be sent your Welcome Package with all the detailed information and specific dates about Boot Camp Organizing!

So what will it be?

Will you be showing up with your sleeves rolled back, ready to jump in, combat your clutter and disorganization, and win the battle…

 

Or will you continue to find excuses of why you can’t enlist and spend the next year complaining and unhappy?

 

The choice is yours!

How To Soar To New Heights

/in , , , , , , , , /by
“How does it feel to be completely blocked from achieving your highest potential? You know you want to get there; you feel you can do it; you even imagine it in all its glory.  But nothing happens.  You can’t make the transition.”~ B. E. 

The above is a fairly typical example of  how my clients express themselves when they feel stuck.
Perhaps there are moments when you feel this way too?It is also fairly common to gain moments of clarity in the stuck process.  You start to get energized and take steps to get yourself out of the rut.  You feel like you are making progress and you feel excited.  Then “something” happens.  You are not sure exactly what that something is, but it stops you from moving forward.  You find yourself pulling back again, this time even further.  You’re not sure why you pull back but you do. Your primary instinct is to seek comfort.  Comfort from your internal tug of war.
So what is this all about – what’s really going on when a person feels this way? Although a person may feel stuck, it is important to understand what “stuck” represents.  Often you will hear the comparison of being stuck to being in the middle of something.  The middle of something that one may feel they can’t get out of or not sure which direction to go.This is a very accurate description.  The truth is, the person who is feeling this way is  indeed stuck in the middle of something!  And that something usually represents the past and the future. This is why feeling stuck can be very confusing and needless to say, emotional.
So how do you get unstuck? 
On Monday, August 31, 2015 from 7:30pm until 9:00pm ET, I will be presenting an on-line workshop that will help you sort it all out.  Following will be Q&A time.  Just imagine what it will feel like when you are no longer trapped in the middle of your past and future.  Take a moment and envision being unstuck.  Do you see yourself soaring above – perhaps soaring to your higher self? 
Life Recovery
Take a look at what my client has to say now (the one who wrote the quote above) about being unstuck…
“I feel like I’m soaring like a bird.  I smell the sweet, sweet air with the gentle wind against my face.  It’s delightful, it’s exhilarating, it’s freeing!” ~B.E.
It’s not fun being stuck in the middle! Let me help you! Register for this event!
Once you register you will receive a Welcome Package that includes detailed information on how to attend the event.  You will also receive a Workbook that will guide you through the PowerPoint presentation that evening.  There will be time for a Q&A period so please bring your questions.
*Workbook
*PowerPoint
*Q&A Time
*1.5 + Hours
Since I believe in providing value to my clients, I try throughout the course of the year to offer events that are affordable for all to participate – this is just my way of giving back.  This is why this event is only $69.99. ($1,000. value)The event however is only open to the first ten (10) people who register.  Then it is locked.  Since all of my workshops sell out, I encourage you to register now so you don’t miss this event.  This one is sure to be POWERFUL!
Note:  Please come prepared to learn and be open to a fresh perspective on how to get unstuck.  Remember, the more open you are to learning, the faster the understanding will come.  Once the understanding arrives, you are more apt to accelerate change.  Just a hint…xo

Opportunity Knocks!

Consultation & Assessment

On-Site:
I will personally come to your home and provide you with a consultation and assessment of your physical environment and clutter condition. This process generally takes from 2 to 2.5 hours. Think of it as an Intake Session that has a series of questions and exercises for you to participate in. A suggested action plan will then be provided with a step-by-step outline. I will also take into account the investment of time, resources and finances it will require to complete the proposed plan for a successful transformation.

Virtual:
You will receive the same quality of care as the On-Site Assessment & Consultation except it is done via telephone or Skype. Prior to our time virtually, you will send me pictures of your environment through email or text. We will then spend 2 hours together virtually just as if I was there in person conducting the Intake Session. A suggested course of action will follow taking into consideration your overall investment of time, resources and finances that will be necessary for the proposed transformation.

*Please note that your overall physical and emotional well-being is always a factor when considering your action plan.

On-Site Half-Day Sessions
These sessions are available when it’s necessary to assist you hands-on. This can involve purging, sorting and organizing. These sessions are designed to support you through the process of decision making and provide organizational training – they do not include labor. All sessions must have the consultation and assessment performed before booking. Each session is 3 hours long and can be purchased in blocks of time from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm or 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

On-Site Full-Day Sessions
These sessions are available for 5 hours from the hours of 10:00 am – 3:30 pm with a half-hour lunch break unless other arrangements are recommended. Time purging, sorting, organizing to de-clutter your environment for a full day is considered a more aggressive approach and requires a deeper commitment than half-day sessions. Arrangements for off-site hauling and labor are usually considered and discussed prior in the consultation and assessment that is mandatory before booking.

 
Virtual Organizing Sessions
In the comfort of your own home you will receive guidance and training virtually through the telephone or Skype. This can be done in blocks of time that are broken down into process segments or if you choose they can be done throughout the entire session. These sessions are available from 1 to 3 hour segments which can be applied towards getting your environment in order. This is a great alternative to on-site organizing as it provides you with a pro-active approach to achieving your goals with support.

What Can You Do In 15 Minutes?

Tasks You Can Do Each Day To Lessen The Load

What Can You Do In 15 Minutes?

What Can You Do In
15 Minutes?

Spring is the season for cleaning things up and getting organized.

Although we may have the desire to bring order to our lives, it can still be challenging to dedicate the time.  I’m sure if given a choice most of us would opt for play time instead.

It’s not unusual to feel conflicted between wanting to get all the chores done yet want to spend quality time with friends and family.

So what can we do to lighten the load and still have time to do the things we want?

Begin with utilizing one of the Golden Rules of Organizing; The 15-Minute Rule.

Each day choose a task for 15 minutes or so and begin chipping away a little at a time. Before you know it, you will soon have everything under wraps and have more time for fun and relaxation.

Speed Clean Your Bathroom

Choose what you can clean for that day in 15 minutes – toilet, sink, shower, bathtub, tile, or floor.  A little at a time goes a long way to get the entire bathroom shiny and sparkling.

Vacuum Your Floors

Carpet, hardwood or tile – it all needs to be vacuumed.  Pick a room and clean away.  If you have time to spare – try damp mopping the floors to make it extra clean.

 Empty All The Trash

Go from room to room and empty the trash.  Then take it to your outside disposal or dumpster and be rid of it! Put a fresh liner in the baskets.

Clean Out The Refrigerator

Get rid of your leftovers, wipe down the shelves, and prepare your grocery list. Now you can go food shopping and put away your food in a clean refrigerator.  Nice!

Throw Out Expired Medicines

This is a good habit to get into – take inventory of your meds and get rid of all the expired ones.  Include non-prescriptions, vitamins, first-aid items, and cosmetics.  Just remember to be responsible when throwing away.

                                                                                                    

Organize Your Pantries

Take out what doesn’t belong there and put “like with like.”  Categorize all your soups, pastas, can goods, etc.  Have the labels face forward for easy viewing. Before you know it, the whole kitchen will be finished!

Clean Out Your Drawers

Today it’s your kitchen drawer, tomorrow it may be a desk drawer.  The point is, a little at a time and eventually you will work your way up to getting all the drawers done. That will feel good!

Program Your Cell Phone

Go ahead – finally make the changes necessary to your phone – change the ring tone, add or edit your contact list, download your pictures – just do it!

Recycle Old Books and Magazines

Do you have books and magazines that are just sitting there unread?  For every new book or subscription you bring in, the old must go out.  Recycle, Donate or Trash – take the time to view what you have and then take an action!

 

Why Life Recovery Matters

/in , , , , , , /by
What do you do when it feels as though everything is crashing down on you?

How do you RECOVER?

If you or someone you care about has decided changes are desperately needed in order to lead a better life – congratulations because that awareness is a big step.

The next step is to ask yourself: “What are the changes I need to make and how do I go about doing it?” 

This is what Life Recovery is all about.
There are a countless number of events that can impact a life and knock even the strongest individual into a sense of desperation and hopelessness. Some examples are:

  • Divorce/Ending of a Relationship
  • Clutter/Hoarding
  • Care Giving
  • Illness
  • Death
  • Career Changes
  • Financial Distress

We are all human and there will be times when we will hurt. That is when we realize just how fragile we are. Because we are delicate, a person may not cope with a life changing event very well. The frustrating part is when a person recognizes that they are captured by an unforgiving cycle of behavior and do not know how to get out of it.

Life Recovery is about thriving again.  It’s about seeing things from a different perspective and thinking outside the box.  And it’s about HOPE!  The belief that life can and will be different. 

 

Where there is hope, there is usually inspiration.  And that inspiration can lead to a vision – greater clarity if you will.  And this can motivate us to take action which can change everything and birth new beginnings.

I also believe that sharing is caring.  So I would like to share with you all the all the things that I have learned and how I was able to move forward and make decisions that have created a deeper understanding in my life.

Won’t you join me for this very special Tel-Class on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 7:00 PM ET. 

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT

I really look forward to this special event.  I also have some exciting news to share with you so I hope you will make every effort to attend.

With love,

A Simple Concept

/in , , , , /by
As I continue to encourage people to live simply and create an environment that is clutter free, I realize more and more what this truly provides for a person.

It’s no big secret we all have our “stuff” that can cause emotional clutter at times – but combine that with physical clutter and well, that can really complicate things.

Where does one go to “sort” things out?  Where does one go to “clear” their head? Where does one go to find “peace” of mind?

Think about that!

It hurts me when I see someone who is struggling with a cluttered environment because I know their mind is hurting.

A home that is safe, comfortable and neat reduces stress and provides overall wellness.   Having a place we can take refuge from when the world starts to get too much is a gift we give to ourselves.

Here’s a simple concept:

Our home needs to be taken care of so it can take care of us.

When we reward our home for all the shelter it provides, we are also rewarded in kind.

It’s really that simple.

With Love,

Patricia Diesel, CPC

Simplicity Is A Sign Of Growth

/in , , , , /by

“Going Back To A Simpler Life Is Not A Step Backward” – Yvon Chouinard said that and he was right.

Simplicity Is A Sign Of Growth
It’s important to understand that “letting go” is part of the process of going back to a simpler life.  It is not in any way a reflection of you failing to achieve or hold onto “something.”  That’s not what we are talking about here.

It takes courage to simplify one’s life.  Did you hear that?  It takes courage to simplify one’s life.  Real courage to “let go” and be free of the things you may have considered important or special at one time.

Recognizing that your “things” may no longer be serving you (and can actually be holding you back from living life to the fullest) is a true sign of personal growth.  There’s a lot to be said about a person who can relinquish the old and welcome the new; even if they aren’t sure what that may look like.

I see way too often people who struggle with the notion that “letting go” is somehow a sign of weakness or giving up.  This can be to their detriment as it propels them into a perpetual state of fear because they simply cannot bear the thought they may be “losing.”  But you see there is no loss with simplicity. Simplicity offers freedom of all that was but no longer is.  So how can one lose when one becomes free?  You simply cannot.

The process of purging one’s life is powerful.  A process fully embellished with tender moments of self-discovery.  An internal treasure hunt if you please.

Tell me, what’s more beautiful than that?
