Home-Based Business Client
Amy owns a home-based product business. She spent too much time looking for
what she needed and she having a difficult time managing the flow of catalogs,
paperwork, and products.
I worked with Amy on the sorting process and we then set up systems so she could find
what she was looking for within 5 minutes, created a staging area for her products and a
paper management system for her catalogs and marketing materials. We worked this
into her home office so that it is easily accessible but does not interfere with her family
or home life. We made sure that the storage solutions allowed her to easily retrieve and
put away all of her business related products and paperwork.
Residential Organizing Client
Ellen was overwhelmed by all of the things that she had accumulated over the
years. Every room was filled with boxes and piles of her (and her family member’s)
belongings. When looking at everything she found it difficult to let go of anything and
the mail had been stacking up for a while. She knew she needed to tackle the clutter in
order to redecorate and have the home she always wanted but had no idea where or
how to start.
I worked with Ellen to establish ‘keep criteria’ to evaluate her belongings once it had
been sorted, identified charities she felt good about donating to, and set up a system for
processing the mail which cut her time spent shuffling papers easily in half. By
eliminating what she didn’t love, use or need, Ellen has more than doubled her available
space and feels fulfilled because she loves her surroundings- even before the remodel!
Real Estate Readiness Client
Eric and Angie needed to sell their home quickly. They were leaving at the end of
the month and did not want to worry about their home sale from far away. And, of
course, they needed to maximize their profit in order to pay off bills and put towards the
purchase of their new home.
I worked with them to make some exterior changes to drastically improve their curb
appeal and maximize their home’s value to buyers by clearing the clutter. Their
improvements cost them under $200 and a little sweat equity and enabled them to sell
their home within 2 weeks and they got their asking price.
Residential Organizing Client
Miriam is the mother of an energetic toddler and infant who had just gone back
to work full time and her husband was deployed, so she was managing all this
on her own. She hired someone take care of the children while she was working but
was still feeling overwhelmed by all that had to be done, her desire to be involved in her
children's activities throughout the day, and the confusing (sometimes lacking)
communication with the Nanny. They were all putting out a lot of effort, using a day care
diary and trying very hard to communicate with no success and a lot of frustration.
I worked with Miriam to understand what wasn't working for them, what she wanted &
needed to keep track of and what was working for her. We created a Family
Management binder that included an Activities chart that enabled the Nanny to track all
of the activities she and the children were involved in throughout the week, in a simple
checklist format. We also included a log where they could both track activities of daily
living such as meals, diaper changes, potty training, etc. I created these forms on the
computer which allows Miriam to make changes as necessary. We also used page
protectors to make the process of adding items to the Family Management binder
easier- no need to punch holes! In addition, we worked on some time management and
scheduling to support Miriam during this very hectic time. She feels so much more in
control of her schedule and is very happy about the changes in her relationship with the
Nanny.
