SortJoy helped me with two areas in my home I was not especially happy with. One was the common area with a coffee table, public bookshelf, and remnants of a startup office. The other was my bedroom with a private bookshelf and larger desk and project area. In one afternoon we were able to do what I had been hoping to do for a year, remove the clutter and unnecessary objects and give the space a feeling of structure and space.
For the living room area it was pretty much on auto pilot. I would check in with her every so often, but I mostly tried to stay out of the way and confirm what I wanted more visible and what belonged in a box I might get rid of.
For the bedroom area it was more collaborative. While it was helpful having her eye for a lot of the organization, it was very helpful keeping the momentum of forward progress, talking through things as needed, but generally moving forward from one area to the next until we were done.
Lastly she followed up with some links to pictures and products, examples of organizational materials that might help me continue to take things forward. That was helpful to in thinking of how to make the most of the space now that it was tidy and functional.
Thanks for everything. read more
