Yes – it’s all about having a plan and accountability… When you have someone telling you exactly what to do and championing you along, it’s hard to fail. If you feel like it’s not working, I’m right there to support you. Ultimately, your success depends on you, but I can guarantee if you show up, follow the process, attend the calls, ask questions, do the work, and trust the process... you will have the organized space you've been dreaming of. I’m good at what I do and I’ve put in as many support systems as I possibly can to foster your success, but it won’t work if you don’t show up and meet me halfway. If you do the work, it works. 

This learn-by-doing, one-on-one program will teach you the foundational organizing skills needed to create and maintain an organized space. The reality is, when someone else does it for you, it’s more likely to fall apart. Sure, you could hire someone to simply come in, get rid of stuff, and set up a system that they think works well or is pretty. But what if that system doesn’t work for you and your habits? What if it’s too complicated for you to maintain? Getting you involved and teaching you how to put things together, and why, helps ensure you can maintain your results. Just like the “teach a man to fish” analogy, I'm here to teach you how to catch your own fish, not just hand over the tuna. And that means you're getting life-long skills you can use “rinse and repeat” in other rooms. #MoreBangForYourBuck

The program is designed to help you transform one space, from start to finish. Working on just one space at a time is what minimizes overwhelm and allows you to stay focused as we dive in deep to create a comprehensive, high-functioning system for your space. A “space” is defined as a room in the home, such as the kitchen, closet, playroom, laundry/utility room, home office, garage, or bathroom.

This depends on the condition of the space, your goals, and how efficiently you’re able to make decisions. It could take as little as 2 hours per week or as many as 5 hours per week. In the decluttering phase, the more items you have in your space, the more time it will require to process them. Similarly, if you want to revamp your space with a lot of organizing products, it may take more time to plan out your space and find the right products.  I will help you speed up the process by providing you with a decision-making framework, step-by-step instructions to keep you moving, and support to answer questions or share resources. During our kick-off call, we’ll estimate how much time you need to spend each week and come up with a strategy for how to break it down so it fits into your schedule.

That’s what you have me for – the main benefit of this program is having someone to minimize obstacles and keep you on track. My action plan will help make your work more efficient and we’ll strategize exactly how to break down what you need to do into time chunks that fit with your schedule. Each week, we’ll pull up your calendar and schedule time blocks to work on the organizing, then we’ll customize your accountability system with regular reminders and check-ins. If you get off track or stuck at any point, just let me know and I’ll give you the exact steps to get you back on it. I’m available throughout the week via email to answer questions or adjust your plan. If you’re still behind when we have our next call, we’ll review your progress and challenges and adjust your action plan accordingly.

My role is to be your coach and your biggest cheerleader – I’m always there to celebrate wins, get you in the right mindset, and keep you pumped up so you can sustain motivation. You’re not alone anymore.

No, you do not need to be a minimalist to get organized. But you DO have to be practical about what you're keeping in your home and why. Which means it may be necessary to declutter some of your belongings to get your home organized the way you’d like it to be, but you won’t have to throw away everything. Plus, the decision about what stays and what goes is completely up to you. By helping you become clear about the reasons you want to get more organized and the benefits you will enjoy when you’re done, you may find that decluttering is easier than it has been in the past. Either way, I’ll be there to support you and help you make the best decisions for you!

As much or as little as you like, you decide – it’s all driven by your goals and budget. You don’t have to spend anything at all. In fact, to start, I typically have clients use common household items like shoe boxes, delivery boxes, or structured shopping / gift bags to sort things during the define phase. However, when we get to the design phase, if you want to incorporate more stylish storage options, we’ll review your goals and needs and determine which products will enhance your space, keeping your product budget in mind. That said, clients looking for a more streamlined (photo-worthy) result will spend about $250-$500 on average for organizing products.

Although I fancy myself to have an eye for pleasing aesthetics, I am not an interior designer nor a stylist and my skills in that department are very limited. My specialty lies in designing order. I’m happy to give recommendations on organizing products that I feel look good together and how to arrange items in a visually pleasing way, but advising on architecture and decor is outside of my scope.

As a truly customized program, we can build in flexibility – if something comes up one day, we’ll adjust the rest of the week to accommodate. For illnesses, we can pause the program for up to one week. For more intense/time-consuming emergencies or uncontrollable “Act of God” circumstances that prevent your ability to work on the program (i.e. death in the family, war, fire, or natural disaster), we can pause the program until a reasonable time after the emergency or event.

If at the end of the first week, you feel like you’re not making any progress or the program isn’t the right fit for you, then I’ll return 75% of your investment. You must request the cancellation and refund at the start of week 2, coaching call 1.
