How long will my project take?
Each project is unique and the length will depend on several variables: size and condition of the space, your schedule, and your motivation.
Are you going to talk about my clutter to other clients or colleagues?
Absolutely not. My focus is to identify the main goals and issue areas of a particular project and work with you to alleviate the distress over those areas through simple, personalized systems. In addition, I will sign a letter of agreement with each client giving you my confidentiality.
Are all in a row gift certificates available?
Yes, with a word of caution: It is important to talk with the gift recipient before purchasing a gift certificate for them. Organizing is truly personal so the gift receiver should be willing and ready to make some changes in their life for the process to be effective.
