Spring Cleaning Checklist: 5 Easy Ways to Refresh Your Business

The birds are singing, my tulips are beginning to bloom, and I’m busy re-organizing my linen closet and kitchen pantry. Spring is officially here! 🌸

While I love a good closet clean out, this season isn’t just about color-coordinating your storage bins. It’s the perfect time to hit refresh on your business, brand, and systems—so you can clear out what’s slowing you down and make space for what actually moves the needle.

So, in the spirit of spring cleaning, here’s a 5-Step Business Reset to help you detox, swap, and simplify.

1. 🚮 DITCH (Because not everything deserves to make it to Q2.)

First, let’s cut one thing that’s not serving you anymore. Not a total business overhaul—just one small (but mighty) shift.

Some easy wins:
❌ The endless tweaking—Done is better than perfect. (Post the thing. Launch the offer.)
❌ That social platform you secretly hate—If it’s draining you more than it’s working, it might be time to reevaluate.
❌ Clients who drain your energy—You know the ones. If they make you dread checking your inbox, it’s time to set boundaries (or move on).

What’s one thing you’re done with this season?

2. 🌿 SWAP (Because small upgrades can change the game.)

How can you trade one habit or tool for something better? Here are some simple swaps:

🔄 Feeling scattered → A simple daily practice that you implement. Even 5 minutes of a new habit can change how you show up. If you haven’t read James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, I highly recommend it.
🔄 Scrambling before calls → A pre-call checklist. Keep those notes handy so you show up prepared, not panicked.
🔄 Doing everything yourself → Delegating just one task. Start small—what’s the easiest thing to outsource this month?

3. ✨ DETOX (No, not the scary kind.)

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your closet—it applies to your business backend, too.

✔️ Emails: Unsubscribe from the noise. If it’s not adding value, it’s out.
✔️ Offers: Are you still promoting something that doesn’t excite you? Time to refresh.
✔️ Tech Stack: Too many tools? Audit what you actually use (and cut the subscriptions that aren’t pulling their weight).

Your business should feel lighter after this—not more complicated.

4. 🧼 DEEP CLEAN (The actual spring cleaning part.)

I know you’re busy, so I’m keeping this simple:

What’s one thing in your business that deserves a refresh?

📌 Your website? Check for broken links & outdated copy.
📌 Your client workflow? Is onboarding smooth or … slightly chaotic?
📌 Your brand visuals? Time to update that Canva template you’ve been using since 2021?

Pick one. Start small. Feel accomplished. Move on.

5. ✔️ SIMPLIFY (Because your nervous system deserves a break.)

Spring isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things. Because sometimes, the best way to grow is to let go.

Now go forth and spring clean your business—no mop required. 😉
