    About this ebook

    Is your home a hot mess?
    Fabulous! You're in the right place!

    What you'll find inside:
    • A simple, step-by-step plan to help you clear clutter without forcing you to get rid of all your worldly possessions.
    • Steps are broken down into easy 5-15 minutes chunks to fit into even the busiest schedules.
    • Find your personal "sweet spot" between too cluttered and too tidy to maintain.
    • Advice, guidance, motivation, and a dose of sass to keep you going through the entire process!

    This book which outlines the process that I used with all my clients while I was a professional organizer - from the casually cluttered to borderline hoarder. No muss or filler. Just my straight forward process that successfully worked for those I worked with. Maybe it'll work for you too.

    Former Pro Tip: if you don't create organizing systems that you can maintain over the long run, no amount of money or hacks will get and keep you organized. And if things work for you but people who come over don't like your home - that says everything about them and nothing about you. You create your home into what YOU want it to be - not what friends, family, Pinterest, or a professional organizer tell you is "should" be.

    Don't should on yourself.
