Common challenges are positively impacted when you become more organized
These real life solutions can be applied to your life
Organizing Challenge
Too much stuff
Not enough space
Brenda, the Executive Director of the local Chamber of Commerce, complained she could never find project supplies in a timely manner.
She wasted time and energy attempting to retrieve the necessary items for specific activities of the day. In addition to her administrative duties, she was required to plan and set up multiple events throughout the day.
Our solution: we sorted and categorized the items related to specific events and how often its used. We installed a simple shelving system and containerized the items inside square plastic bins.
The result: this made it quick for Brenda to see the contents of each bin and easily retrieve the bin for transport to her event. She now knows exactly what she has and spends little time searching for and replenishing supplies.

Home for Sale
Clearing the Clutter
Grandma Elisha, 93 years old, moved into a retirement community over one year ago and no one could help clear out the remaining contents of her home to prepare it for sale.
She had three grown children, all of whom lived out of state and were unable to provide their time and resources to go through a life time of possessions.
Our solution: after the realtor contacted me, I created a detailed inventory of her belongings, identified those that would be handed down to family members and arranged to donate the rest to her favorite charity.
The result: not only did her family receive cherished possessions and memories of Grandma, but the house “Sold” in the first showing.

Kitchen Remodeling Project Canceled because of Clutter
Vicki has lived in her home for 20 years and planned to update her kitchen and give it a makeover. She hired a contractor and set a date for early spring. Soon that day arrived and she excitedly greeted the workmen but was dismayed to learn they do not take responsibility for clearing out the cupboards and removing all the appliances and associated accessories.
Our solution: de-clutter the contents of the kitchen and decide what will stay and what will be no longer needed. Consult with the contractor to create and construct new “homes” for the best efficient use of the appliances and establish zones based on her cooking needs.
The result: a modern functional kitchen with plenty of counter space to prepare family meals and a pantry designed to store and hold a variety of goods.
