This is a dominatrixed post.  To find more of ‘em, you can learn about possibility paralysis or what to do about blog-stalking.  If you desperately need to be dominatrixed, find out more about the process here.

You might think the state of your closet has nothing to do with the state of your business, but I beg to differ.  Anytime you get a chance to make clutter disappear in your life — anywhere at all — your mental state will be lifted and your vision will be clarified.

This week’s dominatrixed assignment is all about making room to breathe.

Task #1:

Remove every single item from your closet.  Put back only the items that CURRENTLY fit you (too big, too small, tags on, tags off, I don’t care).  You may save two sentimental items (and ladies, you get the bonus of keeping your wedding dress.)

Just two. Because that makes a bit of room for those items you can’t get rid of, but doesn’t leave space for the eighteen pairs of leather pants that haven’t fit since 1976.

Oh, and if an item fits but hasn’t been worn in more than six months, it goes.  This is generally the case with forlorn shoes living in the back of your closet…

Task #2:

Remove every item from your desk, and replace only the items you need daily.  Find a way to store the non-everyday items (like client file folders, copies of contracts, etc…) near BUT NOT ON your desk.

Bonus task:

Go shopping for super-fun and pretty desk organizer-goodies!
