OUR MOTTO: DELEGATE TO THE DECK®

My name is Danica Carson, and I am the creator of Hack Decks™. Hack Decks™ are a unique line of thoughtfully conceived prompt cards designed to simplify life and reduce daily stress. Each deck focuses on a transitional period of life to help people stay organized and focused during these changes. For example, when becoming a new mother (New Mama Deck) or going off to college (Dorm Deck), we offer suggestions to ease the transition. Each deck has a keen eye on organization and adjusting to a new environment or phase of life, which is influenced by our home organizing company. Hack Decks™ is owned by The Uncluttered Life, Inc., a boutique home-organizing company based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas.

Date Deck

DELEGATE TO THE DECK®

SINGLE DECK

Friday night rolls around, and the pressing question is, “What do you want to do this weekend?” You need a great date night idea to get out of your date night rut.

If you’re anything like we are, you scroll endlessly on Instagram or Google to look for date night ideas. Maybe you have had a thousand dates with the same person. Or, it may be your first date with that special someone. In either case, you want to plan a date that's fun and different.

Still, the same restaurant keeps popping up on your feed. It's tempting. Should you try this new "spectacular" eatery for date night or do something completely out of the ordinary? You Google date ideas near me, hoping to come up with something romantic or fun - the best date idea you can create for the two of you.

Chances are you head over to the featured restaurant, and the rest of the weekend is the same old, same old. Planning fun date ideas to do for date night becomes just another task on top of your already very long to-do list.

Planning and overthinking can kill the romance as two people try to match their expectations for a fun, adventurous or romantic date. They must agree on the best way to maximize their time spent together. For many, having fun becomes a chore. Not anymore! Date Deck® to the rescue!

Rather than trying to figure out where to go or what to do, Date Deck® takes the work out of enjoying your weekends together as a couple. That way, you can save your time and energy for enjoying your date, rather than planning it. Think of it as outsourcing your date ideas. It's packed full of fun and creative dates.
Date Deck® is a 52-card prompt deck. It suggests and creates interesting and fun date adventures to do together for a weekend or week night date.

As in every relationship, each person has different strengths. Typically, it becomes the responsibility of one partner to coordinate something fun, hoping to get the other partner to buy in. You want the other partner to be excited about the adventure you have created for date night.

Date Deck® makes planning a fun date easier than ever before. Just pick a card from the 52-deck of cards and let the Date Deck® card guide you. It will take you, for example, to a new date destination or spark your adventure for that perfect winter or summer date night. Whether the prompt card motivates you to go beer or wine tasting, see live music, or try something that scares you, Date Deck® strengthens your connection as a couple. And it will nurture your growth.

Happiness has a multiplying effect. The more fun you and your partner have together, the more connected you become. In turn, the richer your life will be. Doing new things stimulates your brain, which encourages growth. This is growth both personally and as a couple. Growing together is one of the most important aspects of a healthy, thriving relationship. It doesn't matter if you have common interests. What matters is that both of you actively invest in each other and your relationship by being open to whatever date night idea card you pull.
The importance of doing new things and creating new neuro pathways.

It may seem crazy to say that Date Deck® can improve your brain function. In fact, however, there is a scientific correlation between happiness and brain function! Every time you do something new, a new neuro pathway is formed. Novel experiences, or experiences outside of habit, are particularly effective in creating these new neuro pathways. Every time you pull a date night idea card and go on a date outside your normal date night routine, you are creating new pathways. This slowly rewires your brain for happiness as a couple. Developing these pathways has far reaching benefits.

Ever heard the old phrase, "The more you do, the more you can do?" It's true! Every time you change your routine and do something different, the brain is forced to adapt. With every adaptation, and new pathway created, the neuro pathways of habit become weaker. This can improve memory and stimulate the pleasure center of the brain. Additionally, "novel experiences" release dopamine. This causes people to feel happier. Over time, consistent releases of dopamine cause us to become more motivated and productive. That's why new date ideas feel like you're on a first or second date!

The goal of spending quality time together, no matter what that looks like, is to show each other that your relationship is a priority that deserves time. It can demonstrate how much you value your partner and reignite the sense of fun and play that you had in the early days of your relationship. This can help to alleviate stress and also strengthen your bond, so you can take on challenges together more easily.
Change up your date night activity! Fun date ideas for couples.

Try a new activity. Go somewhere different. Explore your city. Take in a game. Check out a comedy show. The possibilities are endless. Date Deck® by life Hack Decks™ offers original and creative date ideas to get you moving in the direction of fun and connection! It's also great for those who have been married a long time and fallen into repetitive patterns. And, it's fantastic for people who are new to the empty nest scene and trying to get to know each other again.

Declutter Deck

DELEGATE TO THE DECK

SINGLE DECK

Declutter Deck® is a collection of micro-organization prompts to help you tackle clutter in manageable chunks of time.

Declutter Deck® is a quick and easy card game that helps you declutter and organize your home in small, bite-sized chunks of time.
We are professional organizers who specialize in decluttering and organizing homes. We have organized hundreds of homes, closets, pantries and laundry rooms, just to name a few spaces. For this reason, we are considered declutter experts. In fact, we are Certified Master Organizers in the KonMari Method® (Marie Kondo).

Designed by women from The Uncluttered Life, Inc., a professional home organizing company, our team excels in Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method®. Home organization is our strong suit. Master Level Organizer is a distinction requiring a minimum of 1500 hours of home organizing and decluttering experience.

There are approximately fifty master organizers worldwide. Based on our experience of decluttering and home organizing, we have created Declutter Deck®. Declutter Deck® is filled with home organization tips and tricks. The decks use both the KonMari Method® and other home organizing techniques. You can learn home organization at a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional organizing company to do the work for you.

Our 52 organizing prompts break down the home organizing process into small and manageable parts. When pulling a card, Declutter Deck® guides you through the main areas of your home that need organization. This includes many areas of the home where organization is often forgotten. Declutter Deck® shows you ways to declutter your home, including closets, pantries, laundry rooms, mud rooms, kitchens, and living spaces. It even gets you outside to declutter your car.

Organization prompts from the KonMari Method® include tidying, decluttering and organizing clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. In addition to tips and tricks from the KonMari Method® we remind you to do simple, general tasks that are often forgotten. These include card prompts such as "Make a list of home repairs and complete them" or "Clean out the trunk of your car." Each task card prompt can be accomplished in less than one hour at a time. This reduces the time spent on individual tasks and keeps you moving. All in all, these cards eliminate decision fatigue.

Trust in this professional organizer team’s decluttering and organizing prompts to keep you focused and on track with step-by-step organizing tips.
Declutter Deck® minimizes your need to continuously reevaluate and reorganize parts of your home because they are never “quite right.” While hiring professional organizers can be a financial investment, this inexpensive box of organizing prompt cards provides tips and tricks like only professional organizers can. Although the KonMari® Method is one style of organization, we include other decluttering and organizing styles. All prompts are method-based. Each prompt card is self-paced, easy to implement, and fun to do.

To use Declutter Deck®, simply draw a card and perform the decluttering or organization task. Once you have completed the deck, shuffle and start again. (An intermediate deck will be coming soon!) This allows you to declutter and organize the most frequently used parts of your home and keep them organized. (As you are decluttering and organizing, we suggest you reduce what you own by 20%. Reduce more if you can!) Declutter Deck® motivates you to clear your space, alleviating stress that accompanies owning too much or more than you need. You can do more with less!

Declutter Deck® is perfect for anyone who gets overwhelmed at the thought of home organizing. Or, for that matter, simply doesn’t know where to start. While each task takes less than an hour, the cumulative effect these task cards have on your home and life organization is incredibly impactful.

Each Declutter Deck® comes in a branded box that is perfect for gift-giving. Declutter Deck® makes the ideal gift for housewarmings, wedding showers, people combining households, first-time homeowners, downsizing families, busy parents, or anyone who just needs a little help getting organized. The card prompts in this box take the mental fatigue out of decluttering and home organization and give you step-by-step instructions for organizing your home. They make decluttering and organizing hassle-free and show you ways to declutter and organize your home once and for all.

See the immediate change in your energy and focus as you get your life and home in order with organizing tips and tricks from The Uncluttered Life, Inc.
You will notice an immense improvement in your energy as you reduce the things you own. We suggest keeping only what serves you and your lifestyle and decluttering the rest. Decluttering and organizing lift a weight off your shoulders you didn't even know existed!
