It's not easy to do on your own, but it CAN be done. Having support from someone whose only concern is making your life better and helping you reach your personal goals makes the process, easier, faster and much more enjoyable.
Why become organized?Because being organized allows you to live your life the way you choose to - not as a slave to your stuff and to other people's priorities and expectations! You don't have to be perfect or rigid about it. Just being reasonably organized enhances your self-confidence, self-respect, and overall well being. Letting go of clutter and becoming more organized DRAMATICALLY lowers stress and improves your physical, mental and emotional health! Effective organization allows you to have more time and energy for the things that matter most to you, like spending time with family, pursuing hobbies, eating healthy, exercising or just hanging out with friends. We think of it as "values-based organizing." The idea is that if you aren't passionate about what you want, or clear about what you value, where is the motivation to get and stay organized going to come from? Once you are clear about what's been holding you back and where you want to go, you will have the motivation and drive to overcome all the other obstacles. If you aren't making progress on your organizing goals because you have a hard time making decisions or are unsure of how to go about it, then we'll guide you to the right decisions and teach you how to make organizing decisions more easily in the future. What is NEAT & SIMPLE LIVING about?Finding the balance between “NEAT” and "SIMPLE LIVING” It's about using neat ideas and simple organizing strategies to keep things just neat enough so that you can enjoy your space! It’s about having more time and money for what you really love doing! But most of all it's about feeling good about yourself as you are and get over trying to live up to other people's standards. Neat & Simple Living is NOT about being perfectly tidy all the time.One of the great myths about being organized is that you have to be perfectly tidy all the time. Many "tidy" people are actually quite disorganized. They may focus on making things look good, yet their closets and drawers are stuffed to the brim with stuff they can't find when they need it! Neat & Simple Living is NOT about buying lots of fancy containers.Yet another myth about organizing. Containers are great! I love them! They are needed for many things, but the containers don't organize you! You do the organizing and then find the right container for the organized things. If you don't buy containers with a specific purpose in mind, they just become more clutter. In my experience, clients rarely need to buy a lot more storage containers, you just have to use what you already have efficiently! Although some people have the opposite problem. They are so afraid of not buying the "right" "perfect"containers and storage that they just don't buy any! If you need storage, we'll help you choose the right storage for your organizing needs AND organizing style.
