First blog

I feel as if I should write some earth-shatteringly interesting post for my first blog entry, but I think I will keep at simple. Keeping it simple is what I frequently advise my clients to do. I have been a professional organizer for over two years now, and have encountered clients with organizational problems ranging from loss of a loved one to ADD to just having a creative mind. All of these people were looking for some way to make sense of their surroundings, to work more efficiently, to be able to find something when they needed it, or sometimes just to be able to walk through a room! There is a certain amount of “creating an effective system” that goes on, but in the end what I try to impart to my clients is that they can take control of their piles of paper and belongings with a little change in their approach. They learn that it feels really good to recycle, donate or throw away things that no longer serve them in a positive way.

It’s not about having a house that looks like Martha Stewart’s, it’s about being comfortable and happy in your surroundings and finding a balance between your belongings and the life you want to lead.
