One of our home clients was a woman living with her son. Forced to downsize due to the divorce and without the time to decide what items to keep, she had movers hastily pack of her belongings and unload at her new place. Three years later, there were still many boxes untouched in her basement, waiting to be unpacked. Her life hadn’t allowed her the time or energy to sort through the items on her own, which is where Organiz-ER came in. Her initial request for help simply read, “Organize office and basement after move. Some design work in home.” Getting right to work, we helped unpack boxes and furniture, sorting through each item. Holiday decorations, kitchenware, and more had to be consolidated, sorted through, organized, and put away. Other items, such as extra towels and sheets, were integrated into the upstairs living space with what had been in use. Once everything was labeled and put away, the maintenance phase began. We continue to see this client, focusing on organizing personal and professional paperwork. To free up some time and streamline the workflow of papers she brought home, we got her a stamp to sign items and helped her develop a mailing system.
