Declutter Go! with Lynne Poulton CPO®, CPO-CD® Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

For those of you who think organizing can't be fun, you haven't played Declutter Go! yet. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Lynne Poulton, owner of Wholly Organized, and creator of Declutter Go! She explains how the game works and how it can help you get organized.

Lynne Poulton is a Board Certified Professional Organizer, CPO-CD®, and Owner of Wholly Organized!® LLC. She assists people of all ages to de-clutter, downsize, move, set up systems, and maintain organization. Lynne is a Licensed Social Worker and prior to starting her business in 2012, she spent 14 years working for a non-profit social service agency.

Traditional organizing strategies don’t work for everyone. That’s why Lynne was inspired to create a better way to get things done that didn’t feel like such a chore. And after COVID-19 made it more challenging for people to get support with decluttering, suddenly it occurred to her that Declutter Go!® had the potential to help MORE people than in-person organizing services.

Lynne says "My hope is that Declutter Go!® will help you get started decluttering, let go of what doesn’t serve them, and have fun doing it!"
