She used organization for living and got results

“I had been needing something my whole life,” Elena B, one of Sappari Solutions’ fantastic clients, said in a recent conversation. Elena shared that she had seriously lived a whole life of disorganization. Unable to get ahead of  paperwork, it was a struggle to pull everything together when things like taxes needed to be done. The house was also very difficult. Closets were chaotic and other areas, like the loft, were in complete disarray. It was just too much to

Are you possessed by your possessions?

Possessions or Possession? As Americans, we live in a society that puts a huge emphasis on possessions. Whether it’s advertisers telling us that we should have more, or trends and movements that encourage having less, there is always someone telling us that possessions, or the lack of them, are what define us. In a sense they do, in that we all have things that we love and things that we feel represent our place in the world and in history.

How To Organize Paper

Paper. Mail. Magazines. Books. After time, knowing how to organize paper must be a close second in wishes to the Organizing Fairy Godmother. With tax season upon us, you may be embarking on your own paper organizing journey if for no other reason than you need to get the data to your accountant or your tax software.

The RIGHT Way to Organize

Recently, I was working on site with a client when he stated, “I brought you in to help because I want to do this the ‘right’ way.”  And while I was honored to be a part of his organizing process, to guide him in finding solutions that would work for him, it hit me that there is an impression of only one, correct way to become organized.  It also struck me that as an organizer, I should have all the

Get Organized for 2016

All this talk about resolutions has got me thinking about that one I hear the most, “I resolve to ‘Get Organized’ this year.”  But what does it mean?  How does one get started toward reaching that goal to get organized for 2016? January is GO Month (Get Organized Month) and for the past two weeks my email has been hopping with people going on FindMyOrganizer.com and looking for organizers in their area.  (As an aside, if you are truly looking for

Let Go of Your Holiday Traditions to Find Them Again

With scary jack-o-lanterns and jolly Santas sharing space at our local stores, Christmas and holiday marketing is coming earlier and earlier. It’s hard to imagine a need for advertising this early. Clearly we need more time to shop and prepare for the gift-giving season. But do we?  What is thinking about Santa Claus in October getting us?  For many, it just extends the stress and worry of the holiday season.  Personally, my family celebrates a Christ filled Christmas.  At least

The Life-Changing Magic of What?

Marie Kondo’s book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up has been at the top of best seller lists and the talk of the Facebook town for long enough that I feel as though I must address it. The book even made a prominent showing at the 2015 Institute for Challenging Disorganization conference. My question is, “Why?” Why this fascination with an organizing book? I cannot think of, in recent history, an organizing book that more people have talked about. In
