When my niece was a little girl we played a game to help her better manage her time and become more organized. I would give her the challenge of beating the clock (or me) in completing a task, such as picking up her toys or books, finishing her homework or chores and getting ready for school and bedtime. That way, she could have fun, while learning great time management and organization skills. She relished getting a star on the achievement chart, earning a treat or reward, but mostly she enjoyed being able to say, " I did it". My goal was to encourage her toward self-fulfillment and increased self-esteem for a job well done. She's a preteen now, so I hope that the games we played still have an affect on her, as she gets older. Take the time to help shape your child today.

About Me
- Dr. DClutter™
- 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!!
