As an ADHD specialist, I frequently have the privilege of meeting couples where one partner has ADHD (or ADD). As they lead me on a tour of their home, it’s not infrequent that the spouse without ADD makes comments such as, “I don’t understand why she can’t keep this place tidy!” or “He’s attached to…

I’ve been reading some discouraging statistics recently regarding new years’ resolutions. Apparently 80% of resolutions fail by February. This makes complete sense. We tend to make grandiose goals and overcommit, hence the high failure rate. However, I firmly believe we can make giant strides in our lives by taking baby steps. Personally, I developed some…

It’s the most wonderful time of year according to Andy Williams and The Hallmark channel. Yet, instead of much mistletoeing and your heart all glowing you are up to your ears in a frantic pace of shopping, wrapping, decorating and hosting. Have no fear, The Organizing Professionals are here spreading good cheer with our helpful…

Scenario #1 Rush, rush, rush. You’re always rushing from one activity to the next. When you get home, you’re exhausted. You throw your clothes on the floor or over the chair because you either don’t have enough time to put them away or there’s no longer space in your closet. You don’t have time to…

I’m not the biggest fan of the colder temperatures but I love fall clothing; scarves, jackets, boots.  I love it all!  The change in season also provides a much needed opportunity to declutter my closet.  This in turn helps improve my morning routine.  I know what I have, where everything is located and items I’m…

It wasn’t too long ago I used to lament the quality of TV. There was so little on of interest. I seemed to be stuck in an endless cycle of Big Bang Theory re-runs. Not today. Today I face a different dilemma. What to watch next? The choices are endless. Amazon Originals, Netflix, Hulu, regular…

But without fail, every week we’re helping a client declutter. Some may wonder why a person needs professional help to declutter but as one of our…

Love is in the air. Hearts, flowers, candy, cards. Valentine’s Day – A day (or at least two months according to the stores) to celebrate your love for those closest to you. Sadly, we often spend more time focused on the shortfalls of those we live with instead of appreciating their awesome personal qualities. This…

Next month I’m heading over to the UK for a two-week tour of England where I’ll be staying in a different accommodation almost every night. While super exciting, packing for such a trip can be a nightmare. I don’t need to lug my large suitcase containing everything for my 10 day trip into a hotel…
