There’s something about spring that makes you want to open the windows, let in the fresh air, and clear out the clutter. It’s a season of renewal—of resetting and making space for what’s next. But when was the last time you really spring cleaned your business? If your inbox is overflowing, your digital files are a mess, and you’re constantly wasting time searching for things, it’s time to spruce things up a bit. And the best part? You don’t need to spend hours doing it. In just 10 minutes, you can take the first step toward a more organized, stress-free business. Let’s do this.

Welcome to The Mind Your Time Podcast! I’m Shannon Baker, your coffee-loving host and business operations strategist. If your business feels chaotic and you’re tired of spinning your wheels, you’re in the right place. Each episode contains bold strategies and practical insights rooted in my POWER in Motion framework to help you streamline your operations, reclaim your time, and grow without burnout. Whether you're just starting out or scaling to six figures and beyond, I’ll help you simplify, set boundaries, and build a business that works for you. So, grab your cup of coffee (or your favorite beverage), and let’s dive in!

Spring is almost here, and I don’t know about you, but I am ready for more sunshine, fresh air, warmer weather and that feeling of renewal. There’s something about this time of year that makes you want to reset, declutter, and create space for something better. And the subject of the majority of emails I’ve received over the past few weeks have something to do with spring. Spring decor idea, new spring drinks or food items, spring styles and spring specials.
But let me ask you—when was the last time you spring-cleaned your business?
If you’re feeling buried under digital clutter, drowning in emails, or constantly searching for files instead of doing the work that actually grows your business, then you already know this isn’t just inconvenient. It’s draining. It’s frustrating. It’s costing you time, energy, and progress.
And I get it, because I’ve been there. I remember one time a client needed a document, and I knew I had saved it. But where? I spent 20 minutes searching—digging through folders, scrolling through emails, retracing my steps—only to find it buried in the wrong place. And while I was doing that, I wasn’t doing the work that actually mattered. That was the moment I knew I needed a real system, not just another quick fix.
That moment when you’re scrambling to find a file while a client waits. The frustration of opening your inbox knowing it’s overflowing with things you don’t even have time to deal with. The endless loop of spending hours on things that should take minutes. You’re doing the work, but it’s harder than it needs to be.
And that’s exactly why we’re going to shake things up today.
Before we dive into how you implement some more long-term solutions to fix this problem, I want to give you a small win—something you can do right now to feel an immediate shift in your energy.
I call it the 10-Minute Digital Reset Challenge, and it’s going to help you clear just enough space to breathe and see the forest through the trees. Accept this challenge and you will experience what’s possible when you take control of your business.
Here’s what you’re going to do.
First, set a timer for ten minutes—because we’re not turning this into an all-day project. Ten minutes is all you need.
Now, delete five apps from your phone that you haven’t used in the last six months. If you don’t use it, it’s just taking up space.
Next I want you to clear out your downloads folder. Trash anything you don’t need. ANd I know this may give you anxiety. So start by deleting everything that is more than two years old. If you’ve already used it or forgotten why you saved it, it’s time to let it go.
And finally, open your inbox and unsubscribe from at least five emails you never read.
That’s it. Ten minutes. Three simple steps. Immediate relief.
And when you’re done? I want to hear about it.
Take a screenshot of your cleaned-up home screen or inbox, share it in your Instagram stories, and tag me @the_shannonbaker. Or just DM me and tell me how it felt. Because once you experience how much lighter you feel after just ten minutes, you’re going to want more.
That small reset? It’s proof that small steps make a huge difference. Now, imagine what’s possible when you apply that same strategy to your entire business. That’s exactly what we do inside The MY-T Society.
The time you spend trying to fix this alone is time you could be using to grow. And the longer you wait, the more you’ll stay stuck in the same frustrating cycle.
Because this reset? It’s a great start, but it’s not the real solution. It’s like wiping down your kitchen counter when what you really need is a deep clean. It helps, but it doesn’t solve the problem long-term. If you want to stop feeling like you’re constantly putting out fires and actually get your business in order, you need more than just one reset. You need a real system. A process. A way to make sure this mess doesn’t creep back in and take over again.
And this is where I want you to ask yourself something.
Let’s do a quick check. If you answer ‘yes’ to even one of these, MY-T Society is for you. Ready?
Do you spend more than 10 minutes a day searching for files or emails?
Do you feel like your inbox is controlling your day instead of the other way around?
Do you keep telling yourself you’ll ‘fix’ your back office later, but it never happens?
Do you feel like your business is running you instead of you running it?
If you just nodded along, this is the exact reason you need to be inside the MY-T Society membership. It’s time for you to stop working harder just to stay afloat.
Instead of struggling with the same problems next month, imagine waking up tomorrow knowing exactly where everything is, emails under control, and no more wasted time. That’s what happens when you have the right systems in place!
Now I totally get that you have put this off for so long because you have no idea where to even start. So if you are motivated and ready to make some changes after completing the 10 minute digital rest challenge, then you are going to love what’s coming next.
Inside of the MY-T Society membership is the Spring Cleaning Challenge. It’s an audio challenge pretty similar to the challenge that was in this episode. The daily prompts provide a clear, step-by-step process to help you fix the mess in your back office once and for all. Imagine finally feeling in control of your business instead of being buried under it.
Inside the challenge, you’ll go beyond decluttering. You’ll organize your logins, passwords, and client information so you’re never locked out of the tools you need. You’ll start to create a streamlined inbox that actually works for you instead of running your day. You’ll fix the areas where you’re losing time and create simple workflows that keep your business running smoothly, without the chaos. Most importantly, you’ll create a system that works for you—one that’s built to last.
So, if you’ve been waiting for the right time to get organized, this is your sign that now is the time. The moment you sign up, you’ll get instant access to the Spring Cleaning Challenge and a clear roadmap so you know exactly where to start. No guesswork, no overwhelm—just a step-by-step path to getting your business in order.
Go to theshannonbaker.com/membership and get instant access to the challenge along with the full suite of resources inside The MY-T Society.
And I know what you might be thinking.
"I don’t have time for this right now."
But let’s look at that differently. You’re already spending hours every week dealing with this mess. The time you spend searching for files, cleaning up last-minute problems, and managing things manually is already costing you time. Imagine what would happen if you redirected that time into actually fixing the problem.
"I can figure this out later."
You’ve told yourself that before. But be honest—has it ever actually happened? The reality is, if you don’t prioritize this now, you’ll keep putting it off. And nothing will change.
"I don’t know if this is worth it."
Let me ask you this—how much is your time worth? If you’re spending even 30 minutes a day on disorganized tasks, that’s over 180 hours per year. What could you do with that time if you had the right systems in place?
And if you’re still wondering if this will make a difference, I want you to hear from someone who has experienced it firsthand.
"I know it’s easy to think, ‘This sounds great, but will it really work for me?’ That’s exactly what Emani thought before she joined. Here’s what she had to say about her experience…
" I am Emani Guy, CEO of Made New Marketing, and I wanted to come on here and shout out Shannon Baker of TSB Management Solutions. I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of her NYT Society membership, and this program has really been instrumental in my growth as an entrepreneur. I always told Shannon when I first became an entrepreneur, I googled, how do you, how do you start a business?"

"And it told me LLC, EIN, website, but it didn't speak about the importance of having an efficient back office, operations, and automating your system so that you don't have to focus on them as much. This membership allowed me to do just that. Not only did it give me the platforms, but the information. It also allowed me to talk to Shannon to see how can I build a foundation now for the success I see in the future."

"And that's one of the biggest things I've learned. The success of your business starts with the foundation you lay it on. So I highly recommend this membership program to entrepreneurs, no matter the level you're on."

Emani’s experience isn’t unique. But it shows what happens when you finally stop piecing things together on your own and start building a real foundation for your business. The only difference between where you are now and where she is? She made the decision to fix it. And that decision is right in front of you too.
So now you have a choice to make.

Let’s take a moment to bring this all together. Right now, you’re stuck in a cycle of disorganization—losing time, feeling overwhelmed, and constantly putting out fires in your business. You just got a taste of how much of a difference a simple 10-minute reset can make. But let’s be real—that’s just a quick fix. What you really need is a system that keeps your business running smoothly without you constantly cleaning up the mess.

And that’s exactly what you’ll create inside The MY-T Society, especially with the Spring Cleaning Your Business Challenge. This isn’t about just decluttering—it’s about building a back office that supports your growth, helps you take control of your time, and finally gives you the space to focus on what truly matters.

And if you want the full breakdown of exactly what’s inside The MY-T Society and how it will help you, go listen to the previous episode: The MY-T Society: The Missing Piece in Your Business Growth Strategy.
