Spring Cleaning for Your Business (in 2 Hours or Less)

I ask my clients a lot of questions. A lot.

“What do you need help with right now?”
“What are your priorities for your website this week?”
“If you could ask me anything, what would you ask?”

Often, I get a sweet, wonderful, adorable blank stare in return.

Which actually answers my question beautifully.

Let me know if this sounds familiar:
You’re so busy with projects, deadlines, and, well… life, that you haven’t had time to step back, assess your goals, or even begin to plan next steps. You know you need help—you’re just not quite sure how to articulate it.

Am I close?

Here are three small exercises that can bring big clarity. Set aside two hours this month, and we’ll aim for three simple wins:

---

1. Clean Up Your Desk (30 minutes)

A clean workspace = a clearer mind. And a more inviting place to work on your website.

Set a timer for 30 minutes and:

1. Toss the obvious trash.
2. Put things away (headphones, coffee mugs, random sticky notes).
3. Collect “loose and questionable” items into one pile. If it’s too overwhelming to sort now, schedule time this month to go through it.

Then sort your pile into three categories:

• 2-minute tasks: If you have time, knock them out. If not, schedule them.
• To do later: Add each item to your calendar with a clear due date.
• To delegate: Pass it along. Let it go.

Cue the air guitar. Timer’s up. Let’s move on.

2. Clean Up Your Media Plan (30 minutes)

Your media plan should guide your content and marketing decisions. It helps you know what to do, when to do it, and why you’re doing it.

A solid media plan includes:

• Specific business goals + timelines
• Events or seasonal peaks to consider
• Monthly content themes for your blog, emails, or social media

If you don’t have one yet, no worries. Download my Playbook and complete Chapter 1—your plan will take shape quickly, and it’s a game changer.

Set your timer for 30 minutes and:

1. Review this month’s goals. Have you completed them? What’s next?
2. Schedule time on your calendar to complete any action steps.
3. Do the same for next month.
4. If time allows, get started on your first action item.

Bonus tip: Print your media plan and keep it visible—on a whiteboard, framed on your desk, taped to your monitor. Whatever works.

3. Clean Up Your Passwords + Logins (1 hour)

Let’s face it—this is a weak spot for most people. But organizing this one thing brings massive relief and clarity.

Whether you’re using a physical notebook or a password manager like 1Password (which I highly recommend), let’s get your digital world in order.

Set your timer for 1 hour and pick your category:

---

Category A: You Already Have a System
Great! Now let’s clean it up.

1. Delete duplicates
2. Update anything outdated
3. Review your system—physical or digital—and make sure it still works for you
4. Consider upgrading: a new notebook or moving to a digital manager like 1Password

---

Category B: Your Passwords Are Scattered
Welcome to the club—and get ready to feel amazing.

1. Gather everything into one place (drawer, folder, digital doc).
2. Choose a tool to contain them (new notebook or 1Password).
3. Schedule time to transfer everything into your new system.
4. If you can, start entering a few items now. Small wins count.

Important: Don’t stop until everything is current, accurate, and secure. Even if that means scheduling a Part 2 next month—this is worth finishing.

Now crank the music and do an office dance.

So, now what would you say if I asked you:

• What do you need help with right now?
• What are your priorities for your website this week?
• If you could ask me anything, what would you ask?

Hopefully this gave you a fresh sense of focus—and maybe even a little momentum.
