Quote of the Week:


"Organization is like exercise.
It's not very effective if you do it only once; you have to keep at it."

Hi, Melissa, I just wanted to comment on one of your suggestions regarding my jewelry. I cleared out my top dresser drawer of the socks and put in a few empty styrofoam egg containers for earrings, extra necklaces, pendants, rings that don't fit in ring holders, and misc. It really works and doesn't matter that it looks funny, because it's hidden in the drawer. Georgette

That's great! Sometimes it's better just to "get it organized" than worry about how beautiful something looks--especially when it's out of sight in a drawer. If it doesn't bother you to look at, then it doesn't really matter if it's gold or syrofoam! :) That's why I use clear plastic bins in my closets. It keeps me organized and gets the job done!

Client Feedback

I work out of a home office without any administrative support. I worked with Melissa to organize both my personal and professional effects as I prepared to relocate. I wish I had done it years ago. While organizing my office and paperwork Melissa identified my natural tendencies and created an organizational structure that was easy for me to maintain. When I began looking for a personal organizer, I mostly wanted someone else to come in and take care of the mess I had allowed to build up over the years. Working with an “uninterested” party during the purging process helped me lighten my load considerably. During the process Melissa provided me with simple intuitive skills that have not only allowed me to maintain my newly found order but help friends and family organize as well. I can honestly say hiring Melissa is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Kelsi Reeves
