Course Description

Are messes and clutter crowding out your happiness and success? If your life is marked by stacks, piles, disarray and chaos, there is hope. No matter how many excuses you've made (or how often you’ve made them) there is a way to escape the madness and take back control of not only your environment, but your entire life!
 
If you've been accused of being a "pack rat", "clutter bug" or even a full-blown slob, then this is your way to escape. Over the course of six in-depth lessons, you'll be armed with everything you need to organize your home, your office, your car (even your schedule), and smooth out all of the wrinkles that seem to crop up out of nowhere.
 
No more:
  • Missed deadlines
  • Overlooked appointments
  • Messy desks
  • Dirty living rooms
  • Lost files
…or a host of other troublesome problems that plague us so often!
Each lesson comes complete with reading materials, Internet links, quizzes, tests, assignments and discussion topics aimed at achieving four primary goals:
  1. To help you recognize the negative impact that clutter is having on your life.
  2. To define and implement self-motivated methods and strategies for success
  3. To choose and actively utilize the best methods for your own unique situation and
  4. To provide additional tips and resources to help you stay on track

If you've tried everything else, but still haven't found the results you're after, this may be just what the doctor ordered. Better yet, there's no reason to procrastinate--enrollment is always open, 24/7, so it's never too late to take back the reigns.

Editorial Review

It only takes a little mess to create big problems. A cluttered desk can mean misplaced documents. A messy car can mean you lose important things like your registration or proof of insurance. Piles of clothes, mail, papers and dirty dishes can lead to embarrassment when unexpected visitors drop by. And disorganized schedules can mean important appointments, deadlines and personal or professional events are overlooked.
 
While these are just a few of the instances where clutter can wreck havoc on your life and your life-style, the ripple effects of seemingly small oversights can create a tidal wave of trouble.
 
Unfortunately, truly eliminating clutter isn't a quick fix operation--it takes plenty of commitment and hard work. We've compiled all of the reading materials and coursework you'll need for success, the must crucial ingredient is one that only you can bring to the table--a readiness and commitment to change.
 
That commitment will carry you through the six lessons that cover:

Lesson 1:
Living the Clutter Free Life

Lesson 2: Getting Started and Keeping on Track

Lesson 3: Getting your Home to Be Clutter-Free

Lesson 4: De-Clutter Your Desk

Lesson 5: Organizing Your Office, and

Lesson 6: Maintaining Order and Preventing New Clutter

Keeping with the clutter-free theme, the materials are presented logically and with a commitment toward easy navigation. All supplemental links and resources are conveniently included with each lesson plan, and communication options are tailored to work with your schedule and preferences.
 
Better yet, you won't have to shuffle around an already hectic schedule to complete your lessons and assignments. Course registration is open 24/7, and completion happens on your terms. The dates and times of your participation are determined wholly and completely by you and your lifestyle.
 
To help you keep on top of your performance, each lesson will include both a written and practice assignment that will enable you to actually apply what you've learned. The goals of these assignments are two-fold:
  1. To supply motivation, and
  2. To help you tackle your strategy to overcome clutter
Most lessons will also incorporate a review quiz, designed to highlight important principles that were covered. Successful completion of this course will require an overall score of 70% or better, but the real measure of your success will be embodied in your new, orderly, organized life!
 
Lessons must be completed sequentially, meaning that you won't have access to Lesson 2 until you have first successfully completed each of the components of Lesson 1. Additionally, this online class has also incorporated additional reading resources recommended to help give you a clutter-busting edge.
 
Eradicating clutter is easier than you think. With a little know-how and a lot of dedication, you can regain control of your home, your office-- your entire life! Register now to start reaping the rewards of order and organization.
