Clutter Control

“You Wouldn’t Believe How Much I Have Already Thrown Out!”

I’m in my tenth year as a professional organizer and clients have told me this statement more than any other. You wouldn't believe how many times people have told me, “You wouldn't believe how much I have already thrown out!” First, I would.

How Do You Do a Seasonal Switch in Less Than 30 Minutes?

It’s hard to know the right day to put summer clothes into storage and bring out the winter clothes. For me, I thought that day was today. Turns out, it’s gorgeous! Still I don’t think I’ll need my sandals and shorts tomorrow. As a professional organizer, who finds himself inside many people’s homes, I know this is a task that tends to get put off, sometimes all season!
