How It Works

Start with one session

Before committing to a project, start with one decluttering & organizing session.

It's not just a consultation.

We get down to the real work of decluttering & organizing, so you'll see results from the first session.

From the work we do in the first session, I'll give you a project estimate.

How an organization project works

You can start with a goal, such as being able to see the floor or dining room table.

But you don't need a specific goal.

"I have too much stuff. I don't know where to start. HELP!!" is a fine place to start.

Whatever your starting point is, you'll gain clarity on how you want your home organized.

As we find out what you have and what you want to keep, we'll find a place for everything.

Now, your things don't just go into any available spot.

To make your things easy to find, similar things are placed together.

Through this process a room takes on your personality.

One room, then the next... and so on, until you finally feel like you're at home.

Should you declutter first, then organize?

There are situations where it makes sense to declutter & organize separately.

But in most homes, it's faster to declutter & organize at the same time.

As you decide what's staying & what's going, the keepers are put away.

Letting go

Letting go can be scary, and not just for people struggling with clutter.

Here's the irony of discard anxiety.

You won’t miss what you let go of.

Now, I don’t recommend getting rid of everything that you no longer use.

Everyone keeps things they don't use, often for no special reason.

All that said, there's only so much that an organized room can hold.  

When there isn’t enough space, decisions have to be made.

You’ll get support you need to make decisions that you’re comfortable with.

FAQs

How much do I have to participate?

Some things can be done without you, like organizing bookshelves and sorting paper.

But the main work of decluttering and organizing requires your participation: deciding what stays & what goes and where to put the keepers.

What about lifting?

For most clients, we take care of all the heavy and light lifting.

Do I have to throw anything out?

Absolutely not!

After all, these are your things and it's your home.

That said, there's only so much that an organized room can hold. 

In your sessions, you'll get the needed support to make decisions that you're comfortable with.

Do you take away donations?

Yes! I take away donations, as well as garbage and paper to-shred.
