Who's That Girl?
Hey Friends! I'm Jessica.
I love people. I love organizing stuff. And I love to laugh and make others laugh, too.
In college, I majored in science and
minored in musical theater.
So I am equally into putting things in neatly labelled boxes and for doing jazz hands. Seriously, you can ask the kids I taught science to.
You can think of me as your home organizing guru /coach /cheerleader /stand-up comedian.
As we work together to organize your home, we are going to do some hard work.
And it will change your life.
But we are also going to laugh.
Because people are hilarious and
getting organized is fun!
So let's tidy up! This is going to be a blast.
Kind Words From My Clients
Jennifer G

Jessica has a uniquely fun and supportive way of approaching home organization.
I still regularly use the skills I learned to declutter my house, and my brain!
What we accomplished together in one hour takes me one week. I highly recommend her services!
Jody D
Asheville NC
Completely overwhelmed, we needed help purging and organizing our home of 20 years.
Jessica's contagious exuberance, patient guidance and fun-loving personality made the task much less daunting. The entire process altered our vision for our home and family, and we continue to apply the principles of the KonMari Method™ that Jessica taught to us daily.
We highly recommend Jessica and her services to help you tidy up your home and your life!
Lauren M
Nashville TN
Jessica made the tension that tends to accompany the KonMari™ Method non-existent as she honored my personal process.
I never felt judged, rushed or shamed, but rather guided toward solid, healthy decisions with
humor and grace.
She answered my questions and encouraged me beautifully.
I wouldn't want to work
alongside anyone else!

How Long Will It
Take to Organize
My Home?
How Long Will It Take to Organize My Home/Space?
There are Two Main Factors that go into determining how long it will take to organize your home/space.
Factor 1: You. How quickly can you decide whether to keep or discard an item? How much time are you able to commit to the organizing process?
Factor 2: Your Home. How many square feet? Number of rooms? How tightly packed are your belongings?
Long Story Short
Every client is different and every home is unique.
How Do I
Start Decluttering
My Home?
How Do I Start Decluttering My Home?
This answer is going to sound odd at first,
but stick with me.
The first step in decluttering your home is to ask yourself, “Why do I want to be organized?” Until you can clearly identify your reasons for wanting to change this area of your life, you will lose momentum as soon as the work gets hard. Making significant changes in any area of your life is hard work.
If it wasn't, you would have done it already.
Therefore, the first thing I invite all my clients to do is imagine their ideal lifestyle.
What Is The
Difference Between
Traditional Home Organizing and the
KonMari™ Method?
What Is The Difference Between
Traditional Home Organizing
and the KonMari™ Method ?
The main difference is the amount of time spent organizing and the longevity of the results.
Traditional Home Organizing:
-
Home is organized one room at at time.
-
Offers quicker results, but often with a shorter lifespan.
KonMari™ Method Home Organizing:
-
Created by organization guru Marie Kondo.
-
Entire home is organized by category.
-
Offers slower results that can last a lifetime.
Is Better Storage or a Bigger Home the Solution to My Organizing Problems?
Is Better Storage or a Bigger Home the Solution to My Organizing Problems?
In a word? NOPE!
Despite what popular home organizing shows and storage solution stores may try to tell you,
more or better bins are not the solution.
By decluttering first and creating healthy boundaries for your belongings, you may be surprised to find most of the storage space and storage items you need already exist in your home.
And a bigger home? It is just a larger container.
Without good boundaries you will quickly fill it.
Does the
KonMari™ Method of Home Organization Really Work?
Does the KonMari™ Method Really Work?
Yes! For the method to be most effective:
1. Declutter by category
(Clothes, books, papers, miscellaneous, sentimental)
2. Use the feeling of joy as your main qualifier for keeping or discarding your belongings.
3. Wait to finalize storage until the very end.
4. Complete the process, organizing your entire home.
5. Find more joy living in an organized home than living in a cluttered home.
