Are you looking to spring clean your business over the next few weeks?

Do you want some thoughtful tips to help you clean things out?

Springtime is a traditional time of growth, rebirth, and development.

Warmer weather, ample sunshine, and longer days mean more movement and activity both indoors and outdoors.

It’s also the perfect time to make some lasting seasonal changes to your business.

Sure, you can spend your time physically cleaning and decluttering materials in your office or workspace.

But you can also clean and declutter things in your business to help you prepare for future productivity.

Here are five ways you can spring clean your business for the better.

Shake out existing ideas.

Maybe you’ve got a bud of an idea for a current project that you’ve not yet acted upon.

Perhaps you’ve been in talks with someone for an assignment that has yet to be fully developed.

This is a great time to review those ideas and plans that have been sitting on the shelf. Think about ways you can give your daily work a vigorous shake up.

Start using that new tool you recently purchased but haven’t yet opened.

Open up that idea notebook and flesh out an idea that excites you. Take that online course you’ve been talking about for weeks.

Wash your daily habits.

What’s something that could be refreshed or cleaned up in your office or workspace?

Anything that’s metaphorically sticky, dusty, or expired in your daily habits should be reexamined and cleaned.

Freshen up your productivity habits by focusing on what you can control in your immediate space.

Limit the number of items on your daily to-do list to three to five tasks. Avoid over- or double-booking your calendar.

Practice a mindset of abundance when it comes to completing tasks. Instead of rushing through your work, stop, plan, and take targeted action.

Doing so will allow you to do more faster than you ever thought possible.

Scrub up outstanding tasks.

You know those outstanding tasks that need your attention?

The ones that take a good chunk of time to complete and yet are strikingly similar to one another?

Why not put in some elbow grease and take care of them now?

You could make several related phone calls one after another, send a series of email messages out to clients or customers, or draft up a series of social media posts or blog posts.

You could complete incomplete paperwork, shred paperwork, or finish that filing.

And remember, you don’t necessarily have to complete these tasks yourself; you can delegate tasks to a more suited individual on your team.

Dry out ideas, projects, and assignments.

While taking physical action is a given in today’s busy world, sometimes not taking any action can be the next best choice.

There are times in business when you just need to let something rest for the time being.

In the meantime, you can make headway in another area of your work.

Maybe you need to put a struggling project on the back burner.

Instead of tinkering with a recently implemented system that’s working incredibly well, give it sufficient time to run, and then collect data.

Perhaps you need to take a step back from a particular area of an assignment and focus instead on a tangential item.

Rotate one item for another.

Rotating items is a great way to add excitement, change, and progress to your regular routine.

It’s as easy as envisioning something turn around 180 degrees in your business and how your work output or flow may change for the better.

Where can you make some rotations in your business?

Swap out that old app you no longer use for one that’s more suited to your needs.

Change up an existing brand of office supplies for another.

Follow up with, close out, or archive client and customer accounts from the past fall and winter so you’ll have space and peace of mind in your schedule moving forward.
