You are definitely the expert when it comes to your stuff! This is especially true if you have unique interests or a specialized line of work.

Because we understand this concern, we like to work side-by-side with you. Although 28 years of organizing has given us the range of experience to resolve even the most complicated, chaotic situations, we still would like to work with you present, because you “know your stuff”! Without your input, we would never know how much an item means to you, if an item needs to be “handled” rather than stored, or if it needs to be returned to someone else, etc.

When we work side-by-side with you, you can quickly inform us of the special qualities any item has for you. With this information, we can help you recognize patterns and guide you to an organized solution.

As soon as you advise us what the item is and what it means to you, we place it near its “like” items. This leverages your precious time and effort so you can go through the most things possible with the least amount of effort (It should also help if you have any disabilities that don’t allow you to lift things or to stand very long.) Toward the end of our session, we work with you to get “like items” and any new categories to their proper homes.

One of our specialties is in helping you work out organizing “knots” – complex, frustrating organizing concepts that may have eluded you for years and have made your organizing systems unravel.

Less time than you think!

1 to 3 four-hour sessions for each room of household “stuff”.

Just 1 four-hour session to get started with a basic system for paperwork and 2-4 sessions to wrap up most paperwork projects.

We always suggest you start with just 1 session to see if you are getting the maximum benefit before you commit to multiple sessions. You can always wrap up on your own, or have us back to finish any remaining tasks.

We are the perfect organizing service to help the people you care about.

We specialize in solving “hopeless cases” for people who have never been able to get organized before. People are open to our service because we have uniquely accommodating methods; we use very simple concepts that you are already familiar with. We don’t force people to throw things out, and all of our services are confidential and nonjudgmental.

If the person you’re considering is open to the idea, please pass our information to them, or call us regarding gift certificates.

Unfortunately…we cannot help a person who doesn’t want help, but please call us to discuss this; we have a few successful techniques to get things started.

First is our free phone consultation. We will spend up to an hour with you to hear your needs and explain our methods to your satisfaction. If you decide to schedule, we’ll ask you choose whether you would like a paperwork session or a “Things” session. If we’ll be organizing “Things “, we’ll ask you to pick the room you want to start with. (If you’d like help choosing, just let us know). Next, we’ll interview you just a bit to get to know more about the area we’ll be working on. On the day of our appointment our team of two (our principal or lead organizer and an assistant) will show up with supplies. We’d like a quick five minute “tour”, and then we’d like to jump right in and get started, round-the-room or round-the-desk, making maximum use of the time we have with you. We’ll work side by side with you during the session, and do any necessary lifting. In about 2 hours things will start to look like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and we’ll wrap up toward the end of our 4 hours. As part of our wrap-up, we’ll invoice you, collect payment, and haul away a carload of any donations you’ve authorized, sending you a receipt for your taxes from a local charity. Afterwards, we are available for two complimentary phone “check ups” as needed, or we can schedule additional hands-on sessions, if needed.

You can pay by personal or business check, credit card or PayPal when we schedule your appointment.

To respect the preparation involved and the time we have reserved for your session, our cancellation fee is 50% within 48 hours, and 100% within 24 hours of a missed appointment.

We work in Orange County, Los Angeles County, western Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. If you are outside these areas, call us and we’ll work something out.
