I recently helped a client who had boxes of things stored at her mother’s house, as did her sister. The garage was filled from front to back and top to bottom. There was one small path to walk through. The side yard held her and her husband’s boat and multiple boxes as well as multiple […]

A client recently related that she wanted to work with someone who had systems for organizing her office at which I felt offended and shocked that she didn’t think I have systems with which to utilize. I knew this was about her and not about what I am capable and competent at doing. My guess […]
