Spring Detox for you business

Sep 7

Yay! Spring has finally sprung!

It's the time of the year where we collectively get rid of the old and make way for the new.

Spring is a perfect time to get rid of the things in your life and business that no longer serve you so you can plant the seeds for new opportunities.

You’re going to rid yourself of those weeds and be very intentional about what you're going to plant for that healthy harvest to come.

So in today’s episode we’re going to take you through a spring detox for your business. This process will take you through a culling of the things that you want to let go of. Followed by the things that you want to cultivate and keep.

Yes you will be LETTING GO of things that are no longer serving you in your business. So for the hoarders among you get ready.

When you let go of the things that are weighing you down and taking up space, it leaves a beautiful vacuum of free space and energy for amazing new opportunities and people and things to come into your life.

So let’s detox your business!

Declutter that inbox

Are you one of those people that has 1900 emails in their inbox?

If so, it’s time to clear all of that away and be ruthless with your delete button.

The thought of tackling your inbox may fill you with anxiety but you’re going to feel so much better afterwards.

Go through your emails and delete EVERYTHING that you don’t need (or doesn’t spark joy!).

For the emails left and you want to keep - organise them into folders.

Change your inbox setup to show UNREAD first and use it as a working to-do list.

Only open your inbox when you have time to manage it - don’t open emails you do not have time to respond to as it creates unnecessary stress.

Clean your workspace

Now it’s time to clean your physical workspace - we recommend a minimalistic approach here.

This is your creative space so make sure it’s not overly cluttered.

Clean away the space and then only keep the things that spark joy and make you feel really good.

Don’t forget to keep those beautiful reminders (images and quotes) at your workstation.

Digital declutter time

Now tackle your digital desktop including your Google Drive Folder or Dropbox.

Everything should have a home on your computer.

Arrange everything in working folders and file any floating files on your desktop into the relevant folders. Having this space organised will save you time searching for the document you need.

Once your desktop is clean, change your desktop background to something inspiring.

Create a digital to do list

We use Asana to help us keep on top of our to do list.

Instead of piling everything and the kitchen sink onto your digital to do list make sure you’re regularly checking in to delete the things that no longer serve you or are no longer relevant for your business.

Because your business adapts and changes as you adapt and change.

Think about creating a “backburner list” filled with ideas that you do want to get to but they're not ripe and ready just yet.

Plant the new seeds

You’ve cleared the deadwood and now it’s time to create space for new opportunities.

Create that new fresh energy in your realm.

Remember to revisit your budget and look at where you're tracking. Cancel any unnecessary subscriptions or anything you don’t require any more.

And there you have it!

A business detox is a great opportunity to reassess where your business is at and upgrade your business processes as you evolve alongside it.
