Through Take Control Organizing, I have helped people from all walks of life — from professionals, to home-makers, to busy moms and dads — each struggling with their own organizing challenges. My job is to help each of them to find the systems that will work to support their lifestyles, and to build the habits they will need to sustain them. Read on to learn about the variety of organizing services I offer in and around the home, and the process I use with each of my clients — from evaluation to custom plan, to personal coaching — and see how professional home organizing with TCO can work for you.
Home Organizing
Organized living is about being able to live free of clutter and to be in control of your home — and your time — with confidence and peace of mind. At TCO, I guide my clients through organizing projects in and around the home and home office. From controlling clutter and managing the mess of a busy family, to making life transitions or moving and combining households, I can help you get control so that you can be efficient and effective when the world around you is in chaos.
Just Married
Beat wedding stress with TCO by your side. When it’s time to merge households, it’s time to sort and decide what’s staying and what’s going. Make the move from bachelor or bachelorette to making a home a happy one by creating the organizational and sorting systems that will serve you for the rest of your lives together.
Family Management
All families deal with the anxiety of keeping their homes in order, keeping them clean and organized, getting the laundry done, planning the meals. It can be overwhelming. Turn your home from chaos to calm. Instead of worrying about dinner and living with a sea of laundry, I can help you to put home systems in place which will transform your lifestyle and help you find joy in your family time together.
Paper Management
The biggest complaint I hear from people when talking about their organizing challenges is paper. It’s a challenge we all face: how to keep the paper chaos at a minimum. You can’t avoid it completely, but I can teach you to put systems in place to help contain it, and ensure that important things don’t get lost.
Downsizing
There are many reasons to downsize your home, from moving to a smaller home, or growing tired of the unopened boxes and closets that haven’t been touched in years. The process can be a physically and emotionally draining, but I can help put a plan in place and guide you through the process to make your reorganization as comfortable as possible.
Evaluation, Planning, and your own Organizing Coach
Sometimes, all you need is a gentle push in the right direction. For more challenging projects, a simple evaluation may not be enough. Whatever your organizing challenge, we’ll work together to build a blueprint for organizing success.
Getting your home organized is just the first step to bringing your life into control. With personal coaching, you will have the support you need to create the change you want to see in your life. You’ll have the accountability and support it takes to build new habits; the motivation to keep moving forward when you let your new habits slide; support and feedback as you begin to create new systems and tools for your own lifestyle; and specific milestones in your organizing process that will help you finish all the projects you start. With personal coaching, you’re in control. You decide how much or how little external coaching you need, and how often you need it. The important part: support is there when you need it most.
My work with clients is a constant well of inspiration. You’ll find new tools, forms, checklists, and products that may be of use in your own organizing journey, updated frequently.
Without constant feedback and trial, these tools become stagnant. That’s why I invite you to comment often with your own stories of success, or opportunities for improvement. It’s thanks to the hard work of people like you that all of these tools get better and recommendations even more reliable.
You can jump into the TCO community any time. Start with an e-book, download a checklist, and dive into the Facebook discussions today!
With powerful online tools like Skype, AOL Instant Messenger, email and affordable cameras, all organizing and consulting services have moved online. With a few quick clicks, I am connected to your home, wherever you may be in the world.
When you submit photos or video of your space, and we connect in a live video conference, we are able to work as efficiently as if I were standing right next to you in your home. It’s easy, and even better, it’s free!
If you’re new to this world of online communication beyond email, it can be daunting. That’s why I have built this getting started page with links to the tools and equipment you will need to get started with TCO.
