HELLO & THANK YOU for your interest in my organizing business. I have a love of order and I am excited to put together a service that helps working families negotiate the pace of life and the generational challenges that come with downsizing a lifetime of personal accumulations. The chaos around managing one’s self and family responsibilities can be stressful and overwhelming. The idea of offering a service to assist with simplifying and restoring order to a home is rewarding and personally challenging for one with a brain wired for order. We Got Here…HOW?
-Marie Condo’s “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” …sold over 14 million copies -worldwide, translated into 44 languages and was on the NYT best seller
list for 150 weeks.
-Home Organization is a multibillion-dollar business resulting in the emergence of the Professional Organizers
One asks “What keeps us buying THINGS?” Doorstops that look like dogs, all manner of feathers, seashells, dried f lowers, useless knickknack, dust able THINGS. Pictures on sofa pillows….and the labor of your life is to wait upon these THINGS, manage these THINGS. In truth, the country would be broken by lunchtime without consumerism, but we have gone over the top. AND ITS SO EASY scream the advertisers; One click purchasing, same day delivery, 30” drone drops, GET IT NOW! – LOOK HERE, BUY THIS! LOOK THERE! WE LOVE STUFF! Marketing ads get you to buy, BUY! If you buy this, it WILL make you HAPPY!!!!!! The gimmicks & gadgets “AS SEEN ON TV!” create demand and build relationships with algorithms not people.
– 1/3 of homeowners say their garage is too cluttered to use for parking
– There are now more storage units in the US than Starbucks or McDonalds for our OVERFLOW of the THINGS.
Our solution was to build bigger homes to contain our STUFF. The typical house increased from 1500 sf (1973) to 2200 sf (2023). MORE room | LESS space. It contains approximately 300,000 personal household items; sporting goods, electronics, magazines, knickknacks, boxes & bins stuffed with shoes, handbags, jewelry, clothing, exercise equipment, camping & sports gear, unused products, towels, linens, bedding, kitchenware, holiday décor, books, toys, how about that appliance graveyard? Endless stuff. In the 60’s, along came the yard sales and we have estate sales, overflowing landfills, many consignment and donation stores are overflowing.
