Decluttering Your Creative Systems Before The New Year | EP.137
Everyone's planning what to ADD in January—new goals, new systems, new habits. But what if the secret to your best creative year isn't about adding more, but ruthlessly REMOVING what's been draining your energy all year long?
This episode is your December decluttering blueprint. While everyone else is waiting for January 1st to start fresh, you'll be creating actual space for growth by subtracting before you add.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:• Why you can't build new systems on broken foundations (and why most January goals fail by mid-month)• The exact year-end audit process Dustin uses with his team every December• How to evaluate tools, calendar events, projects, and communication channels for what's actually serving you• The Four Bucket System: Dead Weight (delete immediately), Incomplete Business (finish or archive), Great Idea Wrong Time (archive with intention), and Active Misalignment (reevaluate or eliminate)• Practical 15-minute exercises that will reclaim hours in your week• Why "if it isn't a clear yes, then it's a clear no" is the filter your agency needs• How to identify energy drains vs. time drains (and why energy matters more)
This isn't theory—it's the exact conversation Dustin has with his team every December before planning the new year. Join the revolution of subtracting first and adding second.
