Casual Uncluttering

Lauren was extremely helpful in getting me over the hurdle to being organized. I had mountains of papers in my home office and craft room. We sat in the room and I went through the papers creating file folders for those necessary things to keep as well as «trash» piles. Some of the craft things I cried over throwing away, but realized it was always available to me on the internet. In my younger years, I was always very organized. In my later years, not so much. I highly recommend Lauren for ANY organizational projects.

In January, we moved from a small apartment to a house almost three times the size, and found ourselves overwhelmed with getting the stuff we had organized. We worked with Lauren over about 5 days for about 4 – 6 hours a day, organizing several rooms, particularly the kitchen, office, and storage rooms.
I’d never worked with an organizer before, and she was very clear on how the process works, which helped a lot. She had surveys to help us be prepared with what our goals and priorities were, and we started out with a discussion of where it made sense to start and how to best use our time with her. Lauren was very good at helping us through our indecision without making us feel left out of the process.
It was great to work Lauren; she helped us stay on track, gave us strategies and thoughts, but sensibly let the categorizing and organizing be our job. This meant that the system we were designing made sense to us, and that we had the ability to maintain and adapt the system over time after she left. After the initial pass on the kitchen (figuring out where everything should go), she helped us pick up a variety of organizing shelves and other gadgets which helped the space work even better.
She’s easy to talk to, listens very well, and has an accurate vision of how long various areas will take. We also felt like we had learned so much about how to be more organized people without adding a lot of extra work to our lives; if anything, it all felt easier. Just having the simple principle of «like with like» drilled into us was huge all by itself. We still have more organizing to do, but working with Lauren was fun, educational, and has made our house much more of a home than I’d even imagined. The best part is the confidence I now have in tackling organizational issues, whereas I used to immediately feel overwhelmed.
I’d recommend her skilled expertise to anyone who needs help with organization, on any scale.

Lauren Williams came to our home and spent five days working intensively with us for six hours a day to meet several goals we had set for ourselves. We were hoping to dramatically improve our organizational skills, shed some of the excess stuff in our home, and create systems that worked for both my husband and myself. We have spent the last decade as a couple seeing the big picture of how we want to live in our home without being able to figure out the small steps needed to achieve that dream of a home with a place for everything and everything in its place.
Starting out, we discussed with Lauren what our priorities were, and felt so bogged down that it was actually difficult to even pinpoint where to start. She had excellent questions which helped us get to a starting point with the organizational project, and we ended up in the kitchen, which was a great place to start learning how to reorganize our home life.
Moving from room to room after that first space, we really felt that we were learning so much from the experience about formulating a system for ourselves that was simple and straightforward — so easy that we couldn’t help but continue to be organized.
Lauren is a very compassionate person, she has wonderful interpersonal skills, and she has a wealth of knowledge and experience about organizing. Plus, she’s a great teacher, and helps you learn to be really honest with yourself and your relationship to stuff. Not only does she get right in the mix and help with sorting, moving things, and finding organizational solutions, but she also helps you find a individualized system while teaching you tools to help you become organized on your own, after she goes home. Lauren genuinely wants to see each and every one of her clients succeed in their struggles with the stuff of life.
At the end of a week of intensive work with Lauren, I feel far freer in my home, I have a better understanding of the minor bits and pieces of organizing that need to be brought to completion, and I feel better prepared to organize on my own. Furthermore, we now have a well-​organized space where every object we have kept now has a place.
I highly recommend Lauren’s organizational expertise for any project, whether large or small. She will teach you concepts of organization, help you determine an individualized system that works for you, she will also help you to be brutally honest with yourself about your things, and she will do all that with a spirit of kindness, honesty, respect, and compassion.

I found my home office getting more and more cluttered as the years went on. Piles of paper, un-​sorted business cards/​lead and general clutter in the work environment. I hired Lauren and she helped me think differently about the space and flow. She was not a ‘throw this out or keep this’ kind of mindset, rather asking questions to help evaluate a plan that would best fit my needs. I’m happy to say after a couple three hour sessions my office is under control and it’s liberating to see carpet again! We all seek professional help when it comes to health care, taxes and such… why not seek the same kind of professional help if you’ve been struggling to get your home office in shape?
Now I need to work daily at keeping my new systems in place and keep my office clutter free.

Worth. Every. Penny. Lauren helped my husband and I get our garage in order. We went from not being able to fit anything else in it, to being able to actually park 2 cars in it! My husband and I blended two entire households into one house when we got married and she saved us from killing each other. She made it easy and fun, and set achievable goals over a period of time that didn’t make us feel stressed. Her follow up and follow through were exactly what we needed. Lauren is a great resource as well and is all about helping you to recycle and donate all that you can. We are extremely grateful to her for helping us achieve a monstrous project with barely any stress. She was definitely a wise spend of our money.

I really enjoyed working with Lauren. She gave me a ton of ideas, a great deal of encouragement and saw potential in the items that I already had so that I didn’t have to spent tons of money to have my needs met. Great fun and a great personality, I would definitely recommend her!

I was blown away by the insight I gained from Lauren. I have never worked with a professional organizer for various reasons, most I now realize are my own misconceptions. She was disciplined, honest, prompt, diligent in the task and yet I never felt pushed or uncomfortable. Lauren completely respected my time and budget constraints and honored them. She helped me learn things about how my brain worked that have made a lasting imprint on how I now organize my home.
Do not delay! Call today and get back your peace of mind.

Lauren knows how to approach organization and uncluttering in a way that makes it easy. She partners with you, and asks the right questions to identify what your goals really are, then helps you detach from the stuff so that you can see the forest through the trees. Work smarter, not harder with her help!
