Five years as a member of APDO, helping people to clear the clutter in their homes and living a more organised life.

Wow! I can’t believe I have been a member of APDO for 5 years already, my first memory is of a mentoring call I had an APDO member, I remember her saying to me that she felt that clutter was the bi product of what we do. She was so right, the guidance, support, motivation, and advice that I have given my clients over these years is what has really been the main role. I love creating space for my clients and helping them to clear the mental blockages. I love what I do, from helping older clients to declutter and organise a lifetime worth of possessions to young families keeping on top of the never-ending cycle of decluttering. Thank you for getting me started in the right direction and guiding us all.

The question I often get asked by my Clients is... "Does your home look like a show home?" My answer is NO.
It is our family home where my children play with toys and crafts, my husband cooks (sometimes), our dog runs in with muddy feet and where we live!
But, when I want to reset it and put everything away, everything has a home.
And that is the beauty of having an organised, decluttered home. It becomes easy to maintain, reset and ultimately enjoy.

Today is the first ever World Organizing Day!
This is a fabulous time to celebrate the benefits of living a more organized life and also raising awareness that there are people out there that can help you to achieve this.

I see the benefits everyday through my clients, how the simple changes we make have a huge impact on their lives, reducing their stress levels and any feelings of anxiety.

Client testimonial;
"Carrie has been like a wise friend in getting my rooms organised. Her calm, cheerful and clever approach to organising is achievable and maintainable."

Happy New Year!
Today wasn't the start to 2022 I was expecting, rather than helping my wonderful clients to declutter their homes, I am isolating and giving my own kitchen a good purge and re-organise.
I rarely have free time, so today I focused on the kitchen because I knew I could start and finish it!

I feel really good for completing this task, I have purged any out of date food, donated any items I don't use anymore, cleaned the cupboards and organised. What room shall I tackle tomorrow?

If you feel you might need some advice or help with decluttering your home, please do get in touch.

The 'Business' cupboard!
I love a good Before and After photo and this is a fabulous one!
My client is a childminder and needed her hallway cupboard to convert into the storage area for her business. She now has nearly all her daily requirements in one space, making the business run efficiently.
Everything is clearly labelled so maintaining a simple, effective system is easy!

If you feel you might like some help or advice on organising, please contact me. I'd love to help you.

Calm.
This time of year is perfect to have a good declutter and sort. You can create some space for the incoming gifts over the festive period, whilst donating your own items to charity.

Bringing out calm from chaos.

My client is an artist and was finding it hard to find her creative flair in amongst this chaos, by organising everything she now knows where every type of paint or tool is, in order to create something beautiful again.

If you feel overwhelmed by the things in your home and don't know where to start, please get in touch.

It really makes a difference!

I recently worked with a client who gave me this feedback.
"Thank you for all your hard work in my flat yesterday, the area by the table looks amazing! I had my breakfast on the table for the first time in years!"

This is why I love what I do, making people happy in their own space.

If you feel the stuff in your home is overwhelming you, please get in touch. Take that first step.

POST

Post and paper coming into our homes is one of the biggest things people find hard to keep on top of. It is continuous and if you don't have a method to deal with it, it can, very quickly get out of hand.

If you have time, see sorting the post as a daily job. Have an 'action' tray for anything that needs your attention, recycle any junk mail and have a filing tray for documents that need to be filed at a later time.

Don't let it build up as then it becomes a task you dread instead of a 5 minute job.
