Welcome to this week's issue of Weekly Simplicity Tips. It's trillium time here in West Michigan. I love the beautiful three petaled flower.

And the ducklings have been born at the wetlands.

Project Breakdown

So often I have clients who can't start something because the whole project seems overwhelming - whether it's decluttering, planning a party, losing weight, getting finances in order, creating a business plan or a work project.

As a client our first step is breaking that project down into small pieces. This is one of my skills, creating turtle steps that help you lose fear of the project and keep the momentum going. It's fun to check off task after task.

And before you know it - the project is done!

So I decided to offer this service to anyone. Often it's easier to see how to make things smaller when you aren't involved in the project.

You can get a 15 min project breakdown session with me for $15.

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives. I deliver...

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.
