Recently we decided to tackle our garage, full of piles as tall as I am. As working parents, we don't have much time to organize let alone make time for an organizer.
Enter Sarah and Nest Happy. Sarah accommodated our busy working schedule. She came to our 3 hour session with tools to help us label bins I'd lined up for the sorting job. She also brought us a present, a beautiful orchid. What a kind and nice touch.
I was impressed with Sarah's patient, relaxed, and knowledgeable working process. One of the worries I had, was that we wouldn't make enough progress in the time given and that the project would continue dragging on. I initially resisted some of her suggestions because I worried it would be too time consuming, and I was in denial of how much stuff we really had. In the course of the session she gently nudged me, like a good coach, in the right direction and I experienced first hand what she had been conveying.
As we were moving along she took every opportunity to teach concepts of organization, that we later applied as we continued additional mini-projects after she left. Throughout she constantly checked in to re-confirm our goals for the session and see if those shifted. This turned out to be an important part of the decision making.
Although the focus of the session was the garage, she took every opportunity to make suggestions about the rest of the house, and even put in some decorative organizational touches in our guest bathroom.
Through her coaching I was able to let go of a number of items that were taking up space and weren't in use. This freed up time and energy to organize the objects that I do care about.
Sarah's approach is pragmatic, aesthetically oriented, fun, effective, engaging. She's also a fun person to spend time with and that made the whole process so much easier.
After she left, for the rest of the weekend, we were able to accelerate our progress of organizing our garage and other parts of the house, leveraging the techniques she taught me and the advice that she gave.
Sarah is a generous, kind, and capable coach, with an eye for beauty and I highly recommend her. read more
