Dear DeClutterer!
New Beginnings - Case Studies - 2 Special Orgs + More!
New Beginnings
What will you bring to this year? What will be different for you? If you are overwhelmed with clutter, take some time to decide where to begin. When I work with clients I explain about the energy of things and how to discern where to start. Here is some of the criteria we explore:
- What would be the easiest?
- Which area is the most important? Think uncashed checks or long-overdue bills.
- Which is calling to you for no understandable reason? (Although I do think I understand why.)
- Where is the light shining in, in the smallest way?
Think about starting with an area that you can sustain. You will be using it as a touchstone in the ongoing process of creating a home that replenishes, rejuvenates, relaxes and recharges you.
Onward!
Client Case Studies
You might recognize yourself in some of these snippets. If so, drop me a line. I may have some insight or could come get you started, set up some systems or work with you for the long haul. Either way, we become working buddies, keeping our eyes on the prize: a free-ed up you.
A+D is a young couple with two little kids. When the wife became teary after our walk-thru, I asked: What can we accomplish today that will let you know that you actively are making change in your home? The surprising answer was the bookcase the young mother saw every time she opened her eyes in bed. We attacked it, cleared it and it now serves as an inspiring touchstone for the ongoing work we do together. Take a look below.
BC is smartly anticipating downsizing within three years. We work together to plow through paper, books, memorabilia. It is a slow and meticulous process, completely reflective of my client's style and needs. We are both learning from one another and I was so happy to see my name in her appointment book with a heart next to it.
EE has no choice but to make change in her home environment. She is overcome with papers and stuff and wonders how it happened and why it's so hard. We work together weekly and change is a-comin'. We both can feel it. We start sessions with deep and important conversations. Then we work. At the end of our time together, not only do we feel change, we see it. We're a team.
B+M+D+N+C are all people who need help with their papers. We might think we live in a paperless society but Oh My! We are drowning. My goal is to set up systems with each of them. I visit two of them weekly, as we establish the systems. Another person is an elderly woman, who I visit monthly to make sure her bills are paid and paper is organized.
