Clutter is often the result of delayed decisions and delayed actions, compounded by repetitive behaviors. And the cycle of clutter can cause tremendous – yet unnecessary – stress, especially if you have to constantly search for misplaced items, move stacks and piles from room to room, or panic at the thought of inviting someone into your home.
Tackling organization projects requires discipline and commitment, just like any exercise program or process designed to create positive change over time.
We will approach the organizing process in three stages.
Now that you know what you have and where it is, it is time to enjoy your things – and once they have served their purpose, let them go before you buy more! When helping clients, I often discover many unused items – shoes still in boxes, tags still on dresses, coffee makers still in the packaging. I am guilty of the same. Let's enjoy the stuff we buy and don’t let it get hidden or forgotten in a closet.
First we must see what you have, how much you have and how much you really need. What can we donate, sell or hand down to family and friends? What can be recycled?
"Kelly is a literal life saver. She has helped me with multiple moves over the years, as well as helped with continual maintenance of my home. I truly don't know what I would do without her! She is always so patient, generous, and creative when we work together. She has not only physically transformed my space in just a few hours, but taught me life-long strategies to keep both my counters and life decluttered. She's so much more than just an organizer - she's a source of encouragement, peace, and the friend you didn't know you needed!"
