I'm thankful I found you.

Christine is an outstanding organizer. We had an enormous job ahead of us and the thought of…read moretackling the job felt overwhelming to us. But Christine always brought that perfect balance of positive, fun energy and professionalism that kept us moving forward. In addition, unlike other professional organizers we'd contacted, Christine had everything clearly set forth on her website and during our conversations so that we knew exactly what to expect: how long the project might take, the cost, and what needed to get done. ' First off, Christine has an exceptional ability to visualize the room to create space, order and flow. We were struggling with too much furniture and clutter (brought over from our old house to an apartment half its size, then added to by furniture left behind by a family member). Within minutes of touring the site, Christine had suggestions that worked for each room. After just one 3-hour session, we were able to book a junk removal company to take away furniture and large items that we knew we no longer wanted. Christine also works very fast and very efficiently. So much so that we were able to finish everything ahead of schedule. And we loved how she re-purposed things we already had - furniture, containers, etc. - such that we did not need to buy extra things for the de-cluttering. In short, Christine is very effective at making a big impact in a short amount of time - lending her expertise where it would make the biggest difference - such that we were energized by the improvements we could see right away. We can't recommend Christine highly enough. We love our apartment now, which finally feels like "home." She is worth every penny.

Our garage is like storage - tons of holiday decor, lots of party equipment (we host a lot!), part gym, part office, etc. There really was a ton of stuff. Everything is so organized now and we are so happy everytime we go in there! Her team was great. Everything went smoothly.

Disappointing and Judgmental Consultation -- Especially Given the Advertised ADHD Expertise…read more Since COVID, our home has gradually become more and more cluttered, and I finally decided it was time to make a change. I was ready to invest in professional help and reached out to More Time For You because Lori Krolik's professional profile listed "ADD/ADHD Expertise." This was particularly important to me because my child has ADHD. I was hoping to find someone who could understand the challenges our family faces and help us develop practical, sustainable organizing systems. I had already spoken with several professional organizers, but my consultation with Lori was unfortunately a very negative experience. When I tried to explain my background, our situation, and what I was hoping to accomplish during our phone consultation, she interrupted me and said she didn't want to hear about that (which I thought it was a little rude). Instead, she immediately asked me to give her a virtual tour of our home. After the tour, rather than discussing possible solutions, she made several comments that I found extremely judgmental and hurtful, including comments along the lines of: * "How did you get here?" * "You said you organized this area (inside the cabinet), but I still see a mess on the countertop." * "You said you're not a hoarder, but I think you are." I also explicitly told her that my child has ADHD and that one of my main goals was to reorganize my child's room. Despite knowing this, Lori suggested that our child's difficulties with organization were partly due to us, as parents, not setting a good example. I found this particularly insensitive. I fully understand that our home needs significant work. That is exactly why I was seeking professional help in the first place. I was prepared to invest the time and money necessary to make meaningful changes. I also understand that not every professional organizer is the right fit for every client. Lori explained that her preferred approach involves gathering items together and sorting them, and that the amount of clutter in our home would make the project difficult for her team. I would have completely respected her decision if she felt our project was not a good fit for her services. What disappointed me was not her assessment of the amount of work involved, but the way she communicated it and her attitude toward me as a potential client. What makes this experience especially disappointing is the information presented on her own website. More Time For You's FAQ specifically addresses how professional organizing can help people with ADD/ADHD, discussing the importance of creating appropriate systems and routines. Her website also states: "We provide the encouraging and non-judgmental voice you need to get the job done." Unfortunately, my consultation felt like the exact opposite of that promise. I sought her services specifically because I believed her advertised experience with ADD/ADHD would mean a greater understanding of the challenges neurodivergent individuals and families may face. Instead, I felt dismissed, criticized, and shamed during a consultation in which I was simply trying to ask for help. I believe people who reach out to professional organizers are often already feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed about the condition of their homes. Seeking help can take courage, and being met with judgment rather than understanding can make that process even more difficult. For neurodivergent individuals and families considering More Time For You, I would strongly encourage you to ask detailed questions about their approach to ADHD, communication style, and how they handle challenging organizing situations before committing to their services. Based on my consultation, I personally would not feel comfortable working with Lori. I hope future clients seeking help receive the empathy and professionalism described on the company's website.

You know how you know what to do, but you don't do it because you're lazy and tired? *raises hand*…read more We moved into our new home back in February. We had tons of junk even after purging prior to moving. I have no idea how my husband and I accumulated so much junk after six years of marriage. I take most of the blame because I have/had a bunch of teaching supplies and books I couldn't bear to part ways with. Anyway, once we got into our new home, I made these grand promises of organizing the garage once summer came. I wouldn't be teaching, I'd have time, blah, blah, blah. Summer came. Then, it was "too hot" for me to go into the garage. Mmmkay. I was born and raised in the Central Valley, and I've lived through 110 degree summers. This Peninsula weather was NOT too hot--I was just too lazy. Summer came and went. It hit me two weeks ago that Thanksgiving was coming, and I did not want a messy disorganized garage being judged by my meticulous mother and sister. After teaching all day, the last thing I want to do is organize a garage. Enter Kendall and Maria. I was referred to this organization duo via two people on the NextDoor app. I reached out via email, and THANKFULLY Kendall was very responsive. Yassss. I love when folks answer emails promptly. Kendall assessed the space, we set a date, and she and Maria showed up on time ready to organize. My husband and I had a budget, so we spent some time over the weekend cleaning up things to make sure Kendall and Maria's job wouldn't be too tedious. In short, this two day process was amazing. When I came home from work and looked in my garage, I screamed. Labeled? Check. Clear containers? Check. A place for everything? Check. A put together place? UH, YEAH! Kendall and Maria are top-notch, friendly, and fabulous. Name a more iconic duo! Thanks, Ladies! Now, when can you come set up my office and pantry?

We are super grateful and would 100% work with her again.

My new closet and…read moreshelving organization systems are beautiful, functional and help me lead a stress-free life which is huge because I live life on the go and work a ton of hours. We originally had Tara design/organize our master bedroom closets. She's so good and fast at organizing that we had her come back to do our bathroom, garage, nursery and offices. What she did in 4 hours would have taken me days. Total game changer - I have so much more space and am so much happier in my home. She's also so lovely, professional and just amazing at what she does!!!

Tara's services were the best gift I could have ever given myself. As a busy new mom who has lived…read morein the same house for 8+ years, the amount of clutter piling up in my house was getting pretty out of control. When Tara first called me, I had literally just opened up my first aid/gift closet and piles of things were falling on my head from the closet overflowing as I heard her voice for the first time (LOL) - I don't think there could have been a bigger sign that I really needed to hire her, and I'm so eternally grateful to her for the organizational magic she created in my home. I had never worked with an organizer before Tara because I always guilted myself into thinking that these were things I should be able to do myself as a woman and Stay at Home (Working) Mom, but I'm so glad I pushed those thoughts away and went for it, because in all honesty, Tara adds such value to her organizational process that non-organizing professionals just doesn't have the knowledge or prowess to do as efficiently and perfectly. She is truly an expert at her craft and has transformed SO many different spaces in my home including my entire kitchen, gift and first aid closet, equipment closet, event planning business storage closet, hallway cabinets, master bedroom, master bathroom, and vanity area. I had originally thought to just hire Tara to do my kitchen and event closet even though I knew I had several areas that needed help, but after our first in-person walkthrough, I decided to trust Tara's process and expert suggestions and I'm so glad I did. Within an hour, she took a look at all of my "problem areas" in the house and was able to quickly figure out what items would go where, what needed to be done to maximize storage space, and how many approx. hours it would all take for completion. She is a true tetris mastermind and worked her magic in every single space. As an example of one of her amazing ideas, Tara noticed I had hosting supplies (decorative utensils/plates/napkins) in 4 different areas of my house and instantly added it to our list to basically consolidate those all into one. Now they are sitting pretty in the most perfect containers that Tara recommended and hosting has become so much easier and enjoyable for me in just a few weeks! She made so much magic happen in my house over a span of 24 hours spread out into various days, and she was so great and accommodating with my schedule given I have a two year old. She was so flexible when I needed to attend to him for anything and kept the work going, and she was very clear about what "homework" I could do in advance to help the process move more quickly, which I really appreciated. Her pricing is truly super reasonable for the value she adds to your home. It's an investment that is 100% worth it for the mental clarity you will have after using her services. She has an incredible eye and understanding of your overall aesthetic and will bring over several options for you to choose from, which I thought was such a nice bonus.  It has been a few weeks since we completed organizing, and I'm super proud and happy to say that all the systems she implemented in our home have been incredibly easy, intuitive, and straightforward to follow. Rest assured, it's not just a one time clean-up that will get messed up as time goes on. Tara makes it so that you're able to make your newly organized spaces work for you and your family in the long run.  Tara is incredibly kind, professional, and personable and is truly just a good soul. I adore her as a person and I'm in awe of how incredible she is at her craft. If you're debating about hiring an organizer, seriously, they just don't get any better than Tara. I know she will be in my life forever as an organizer and friend and I'm so so sooo thankful we crossed paths!

She immediately improved the quality of my life, and I am very grateful. I had an entire driveway AND yard FULL of boxes that I've been dragging for the past 10 years. I kept deluding myself that I would get it done myself. But I have some health issues that cause significant fatigue, and I am a person that is easily overwhelmed. Needless to say, the job wasn't getting done. Finally, after several months, I called Karen out of desperation when a rainstorm was forecast. She didn't run the other way, which in itself should tell you something about her. Instead, she set about facilitating my sorting and deciding what to do with each piece item in the jumbled pile of (mostly) crap that got haphazardly thrown into boxes during a series of moves. After about 5 hours, we got through about 90% of the items, which were then either thrown away or put into piles designated 1) donate, 2) give away and 3) keep. What remained was placed into compact tidy & well organized piles either in the house or under a tarp secured with bricks. Luckily it didn't rain that night, or any night for another month. :-) But I finally admitted to myself that I wasn't going to get the project finished on my own - too much baggage, literal and figurative. So Karen came back several more times. Everything that had been sorted into the "keep" piles was put away into a designated space. I finally had my house back!!! We didn't finish everything, I haven't been entirely diligent about keeping things organized, so I have a little more work to do. Karen's coming back soon. I am confident the job will be completed under budget. And I'll be restored to sanity and happiness. She's a saint. And she's great at what she does. If I could give her 40 gazillion stars, I would.
