Tackle it!!

Make today a productive Friday. Tackle a small to midsized project that you can complete in a day or two. Dr. DClutter™

I often read a small town paper online called the Daily Herald. In the opinion section, there is something called Sound Off! The purpose is for readers to share comments about what matters to them, ranging from topics about life in the city, politics and personal pet peeves, to compliments and complaints. I thoroughly enjoy reading Sound Off! and decided to offer something similar to you, my faithful followers. I love it!! In Sound Off! readers are encouraged to stay on topic, be respectful and the use of foul or obscene language, personal attacks or uses of another's identity to post are not allowed. The rules for what I am calling "Let Go!! with Dr. DClutter™" are the same. Every Friday is our official Let Go!! w/Dr. DClutter™ day. I'll post your advice, ideas, stories and thoughts. It'll be a place for you to share your life management and organization issues as well as discuss life events that inspire, empower or bother you. You can "leave it all here", as long as you follow the rules I discussed above. All comments will be reviewed before posting. So get ready, get set and Let Go!! w/Dr. DClutter™.

I Hear You

Many of us are reluctant to express how our day has truly been for fear that no one will listen. Ask a family member how their day was today and listen, no matter what the answer.

Gracious Giving

Some of us have been blessed with so many material things that we lose sight that others may not be as fortunate. Volunteer at a homeless shelter or for another worthy charity. It’ll help refocus your priorities and change your view of life.

Walk with the Wise

Studies have shown that pets increase a sense of independence, increase self-esteem and mood and may even help improve the quality of life in the elderly. Plus they love unconditionally. Volunteer to walk the dog of an elderly person if they’ve become unable to do so. If the person is still able, why not walk with them just to provide human companionship?

Letter to a Friend

Some say the art of letter writing is dead. Well, how about reviving it? Write a letter to a soldier serving our country in a land far from home or to someone close who just needs a little "pick-me-up".

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!!
