The time will depend on the size of the project and how closely you would like to follow your Customized DIEM Organizing Plan. Decluttering typically takes several sessions depending on how much clutter you have and how involved you are in the process. A Decluttering session is scheduled in a 3-hour increment. The number of sessions required to achieve your goals depends on your goals and how involved you are in the process. No more than two decluttering sessions can be scheduled in a single day. Identifying organizing and storage solutions for a small project such as a reach-in closet or small cupboard can often be accomplished in approximately one or hours. For larger projects such as walk-in closet or pantry, identifying organizing solutions can take anywhere from three to six hours. Executing the new organizing solutions for a small project such as a reach-in closet or small cupboard can often be accomplished in approximately two to three hours. For larger projects such as a walk-in closet or pantry, executing the new organizing system can take anywhere from six to twelve hours. Maintaining an organized space is an ongoing process. Each maintenance session is scheduled for 2 hours. I can help you get back on track and maintain the organizational system we developed.

The DIEM Organizing Method involves four main phases: Declutter, Identify Organizing and Storage Solutions, Execute, and Maintain. More detail can be found on our Residential Organizing page.

Yes, you can. I can consult with you and provide you with your Customized DIEM Organizing Plan. You can hire me to help carry out all or part of the plan. My goal is to provide you with organizing principles so you can tackle any organizing projects on your own.

The cost will correlate with the time spent on your project. Additional costs include the organizing products you may wish you purchase. Please see our Pricing page for more information.

​​Here's what we need to do. ​ 1. Phone or Video Consultation Please contact me to schedule an initial phone or video consultation. You can also book the consultation directly on-line. During the consultation, we will get to know each other and discuss the space you need organized. I will answer any questions you have about working with me. We will also schedule a 1-hour onsite assessment. ​ 2. Onsite Assessment I will come to your home at our scheduled time. Please let me into our house as-is so we have a better picture of where to begin. I promise I won't judge. We will discuss your organizing challenges and short-term and long-term goals. ​​​​ 3. Customized DIEM Organizing Plan After the onsite assessment, I will prepare your Customized DIEM Organizing Plan. I will send you your Customized DIEM Organizing Plan along with a Services Agreement within two business days for you to review and, if acceptable, sign and pay (if you choose one of the prepaid packages). Once I have your signed agreement, I will work with you to find a time that will fit both of our schedules to get started. 4. Action We will put your Customized DIEM Organizing Plan into action. If you need any new containers or storage supplies, I can help to buy them or give you guidance so you can purchase them yourself. I assist in very basic assembly, but I cannot provide any complex assembly or installation (anything that needs a drill). I will also take donations to charities for you so the job is complete when I leave. Let's Get Organized! Contact Me.

Yes, learning organizing skills as a child is crucial to having an organized life. I can help parents of young children put in place a simple storage system to keep their children's clothes, toys, and art projects organized. For older children and teens, I can work with them directly to teach them the skills necessary to keep their room, desk, and backpacks tidy and develop good organizing habits that will serve them well in their future.

I can assist in very basic assembly of certain organizing solutions, but anything that requires a drill or screwdriver should be done by a handyman. I can help you hire a handyman if you don't already have one.

I serve clients in North King County and Snohomish County, including North Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Brier, Kenmore, Bothell, Kirkland, Everett, Mukilteo, Snohomish, and Marysville.
