Are You Free?

"What are you doing?" "Hey, are you busy? Are you available tomorrow?" "Sure". Stop!! You've just divulged sensitive information that could be used against you (and possibly abused) by a friend, family member or colleague without knowing pertinent information. I've learned from experience that you never answer a question without knowing the motive of the person asking. Does this mean that you have to turn into an inch-high-private-eye and become suspiciously paranoid every time someone asks for a favor? Of course not!! But it does mean that when someone is asking you for the valuable commodity that is your time, you should garner as much information before committing. Remember in English class when a story required answering the "who", "what", when", "where", and "how" of it all? Same principle applies when committing to a favor. I'm just saying.

About Me

My photo
Washington, DC, United States
I am Dr. Darnita L. Payden, Executive Director/Owner of Dr. DClutter™ Life Management, a division of PreciousOnes™ LLC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience working to help clients discover their strengths and talents. Having worked as a therapist, college professor, grief specialist and trainer, I have encountered in my journey many of the issues my clients may face. I have a sincere desire to help you find clarity, organization and independence in your life and environments. I know that life can be hectic, but I desire to help my clients bring as much order, peace and enjoyment back into their lives as is possible. What separates me from the norm? I focus on the client from a holistic perspective. I realize that most people desire a functional and an organized life, but may simply need support, understanding and information about why they have the habits or tendencies that have led to disorganization. I do not perform “quick fixes” or provide “one-size-fits-all” guidance, but I strive to provide strategies to my clients that will be life changing and useful for a lifetime. Dr. DClutter™ is a name well earned!!
