Residential Organizing
Your home may not be your castle if clutter is overwhelming and upsetting you. You can learn to reclaim your life, space, peace of mind, and a comfortable environment.
How many of the following statements do you identify with?
- I’m always looking for something at the last minute—keys, cell phone, wallet, purse, shopping list, check book.
- I’m usually late to appointments, even when I think I have enough time.
- I can make some areas of the house look neat, but I’d be embarrassed if anyone looked into my cabinets or drawers.
- I’m buying duplicates of kitchen gadgets or tools because I can’t find the originals in my house or garage.
- I’m forever tripping over toys, books, magazines, hobby stuff, and laundry.
- I’d rather meet friends for dinner than invite them to my apartment.
Helen helped me clarify my priorities and set manageable and practical goals. She then guided me through the decision-making process, showing me how to evaluate and weigh options. Her moral support and encouragement made me feel confident about my choices. The changes in my physical environment have made such a difference in my “mental” environment that I have a new outlook on my home and myself.

Dealing with organizational problems in the home often leads the organizer and the client to assess coping skills and find strategies that will improve:
- Productivity - Accomplishing more at home, school, and work
- Organization - Structuring and managing time
- Focus - Prioritizing, making better decisions
- Quality of life - Reducing stress by reducing clutter
- Resourcefulness - Discovering your own creative solutions
- Efficiency - Finding things when you need them
- Independence - Meeting deadlines, following through
It’s not just the need to clean out a closet or a particular room or pack for a forthcoming move that’s affecting and worrying you. I can help you revamp the process for dealing with these aspects of your life and schedule and give you the hands-on support that creates positive, calming change. That’s why I say that organizing isn’t about your stuff; it’s about your life. |
