ORGANIZING

OF ALL KINDS
A librarian by training and a neat person by nature, in just a few hours I can bring order and organization to any area of your life that needs it. No judgment, no guilt. Just your home as it was meant to be—squared away.

Organizing Tips
  • discard all cardboard boxes: they don't last and are not moisture-proof
  • discard as much packaging as possible: it takes up precious space
  • categorize incoming items immediately: even if you can't deal with something right away, put it in a designated spot so that you can find it later
  • create digital files when possible
  • contain all papers and handle each item as few times as possible; use baskets and trays for items in process, plastic boxes and cabinets for archived materials
  • keep some surfaces clear or mostly clear in every room
  • avoid the temptation to create a junk pile or drawer
  • do a little bit every day
