What does Life Organized do?
By guiding you through the organizing process, I will help you creating a calm, stress free, orderly environment where you can easily find what you need, when you need it. Getting organized is about reclaiming your space, arriving on time, saving money by not repurchasing items you already have, and setting up systems and patterns that are easily maintained in a way that make sense for your lifestyle. Its about making your life easier! By choosing an organized life we also gift our children with organizing skills they will most certainly use the rest of their lives at home, at jobs, and in relationships. Organization is not about throwing things away, it is about living a productive, peaceful life.

• What are the effects of disorganization?

What I have encountered over the years is that disorganization is the breeding ground for stress, chaos, health issues, relationship break downs, financial troubles, and if prolonged may divide families or cause home structural damage.

• How do I know if I need an organizer?

I believe there is a turning point when a home goes from messy to disorganized & out of control...it is a fine line and when crossed can spiral quickly into an overwhelming situation. The culprits? Life changes, health issues, and not knowing where or how to begin. Is your environment causing you to feel stress and anxiety? Are you uncomfortable inviting guests into your home? Do you wish things were more easily accessible when you need them? If so, you may find an experienced organizer helpful in getting life back on track.

• Why choose a Professional Organizer instead of a friend or family member?

The most consistent statement I have heard, from those I have worked with in the past, is that trying to organize with family or friends led to feeling judged, arguments, and relationship breakdowns. There is an emotional undercurrent that makes it difficult to go through the process with those we are close to. By choosing an experienced organizer you can avoid those situations and maintain peace in your relationships.

• How does it work?

Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" solution so it is necessary to assess the problem areas. By understanding your needs and concerns, I will be able to offer a plan of action that fits your lifestyle, time frame, and budget.  It will be my job to guide you through the process, keep you motivated, on task, be respectful your decisions, and provide emotional support. Judging and regret have no place in getting life back on track. Moving forward with a plan will have positive results.

• What does the process involve?

We will be working together sorting while you make choices about what stays and what goes. If you have difficulties with that part of the process I can offer suggestions that may help you decide. The next step will be finding places in your home for the items you choose to keep, that make sense for your living style and daily routine. I prefer to use what you already have to set up systems before purchasing anything, as most people have what they need. There are always adjustments along the way and it will look worse before we pull it all together, but that is the nature of organization.

• What does Life Organized want for you?

Simply, for your life to be easier.... for you to be able to relax in and enjoy your environment, feel good about your choices and accomplishment, and maintain your new, organized lifestyle with minimal effort...to have peace of mind.
