While organizers help clients deal with the physical things in their lives, we also help them with the emotional and mental clutter that goes along with it. I would estimate that organizing is about 70% mental/emotional and 30% physical. Helping clients move past the emotional and mental barriers is the key area for organizers. Helping […]

Everyone’s space matters, whether it’s a studio apartment, a spacious glassed-in office, a multi-room mansion or a cozy bungalow.

Getting started in organizing or any new endeavor, can feel daunting and overwhelming. We may find ourselves suddenly feeling tired, bored, needing to to check our email or getting hungry.
