How It Works

What are the steps to getting organized?

  1. Analyze: In this step we step back to take stock of the current situation by defining where you are, where you are going, what’s holding you back, and why it is important for you to get where you want to be.
  2. Strategize: In this step we create a plan of action for the physical transformation of your space, including a realistic schedule to make it happen.
  3. Attack: In this step we methodically dive into the clutter, sorting, and arranging items to reflect the way you think, making sure you see visible, dramatic results as you work.

What to expect from us

You can expect a completed project done in an encouraging and supportive way that is confidential and non-judgmental. We will work beside you, listening to your needs as we restructure your surrounding. Together we will analyze, strategize, and put our plan into action.

How long is a typical work session?

Work sessions are generally 3 or 4 hours but may be longer if you choose. The length of a work session depends on the time you have available, your ability to stay focused on the project, and on the project itself.

How long does it take to get organized?

It depends on the type of service needed and your commitment level to see the project through. The consultation is to assess the length of time the project may take.

"Patty, I would like to thank you for getting my home office manageable with your organizational skills. I haven't been this organized for 15 years. With your help I have found money that would have otherwise been lost. I have tried to organize my life for years only to have so many systems fail and with your filing system I am finally "free" from the former chaos. Thank you for saving me. I could not have done it without you."

Finally organized,
Angela S.,
