Consult
We’ll have a call so I can understand what challenges you are facing and subsequently what areas or processes you would like to tackle. We’ll chat about the psychology behind “stuff” and schedule time to get together.
Approach
Based on your organizational challenge, I will propose working by room or item group. For example:
By Room:
Attic
Basement
Bathroom
Bedroom
Closet
Family Room
Garage
Kitchen
Library
Living Room
Mudroom
Office
Pantry
Playroom
Shed
Study
Whole Home
By Item:
Athletic Equipment
Arts & Crafts
Bills
Books
Cleaning Supplies
Clothing
Collectibles
Decor
Decorations, Holiday
Electronics
Files
Inherited Belongings
Linens
Photos
Toys
Toiletries
Videos
declutter
Our work will start with grouping items and decluttering. (Yes, this means you must be present!) We will review all items in the area we are focusing on and allocate them into categories for keeping, selling, donating, recycling and pure trash. I will help you decide where to donate items, arrange pickups and/or drop-offs, make recommendations for selling items online and schedule trash removal. I promise I will not leave you with heaps of belongings to attend to alone!
Organize
Once only the things you want to keep remain, we’ll move on to organizing. Organizing will involve determining placement/location for items and can also involve additional storage solutions, depending on content.
Finish
Finally, we’ll focus on the finished product and make sure it’s as visually stunning/compelling as possible. And of course, throughout the entire process, we can plan for long or short days and take any breaks you need. (A coffee run, chocolate fix or quick walk around the block all come to mind…)
