Raven’s Nest : decluttering your home & your mind

Admit it. Things are too messy in your space. Maybe just a bit, maybe a lot.

 

And you've found that it's nearly impossible to make progress on a neatening project by yourself.

 

I get it. I've been there. And, to be honest, at times I still am - in parts of my home. Because life is, well, life. 

 

Can you imagine what it feels like to have things where you can go right to them because they're in places that make sense?

 

As we declutter, we also make space.

 

What I do know, though, is that I can help you neaten your world. I've been doing it sucessfully for others for over 30 years. 

 

Whether you're new in your home and want to set things up

Or you're ready to take on parts or all of where you've been lving for years,

TKTKTKT

Categories of items/areas we could address:

Clothing - closet, drawers, boxes, or ?

Bookshelves, boxes, or stacks

Paper filing cabinets or other systems

Computer filing system

Studio - art or ?

Kitchen - all or part

Garage - all or part

Practically anywhere or any group of things.

The Process

 

We start with a tour of the space, system, or collection where you want to begin, accompanied by your description of how you use it or how you want to use it.

 

We'll talk over what you appreciate about the way it's working, and what bugs you about it. And I'll ask other questions to clarify what changes you want to see.

 

After that meeting and before our next one, I list or sketch out any major changes I see that might be helpful for you to think about

. I send them to you so you can start thinking about how that might work for you.

 

Next time we meet, we'll start going through a section: pile of items or a closet or a stack of boxes. For each item, you'll decide:

 

Keep • Gift • Donate • Recycle • Trash

Sell • Free Pile

 

This is often a somewhat spontaneious decision,

You'll likely find that this process goes so much more easily when you're working next to a supportive, non-judemental person! You may find yourself making decisions that seemed too complicated when TKTKTK

Once we've finished that stage, I may suggest small changes in placement of items - probably many of them. You tell me whether they make sense to you - because they have to make sense to you!

And here's the trick. The way that seems to help the changes stick: You make the changes.

Once we've started the process of sorting, you have several options.

• You may decide to continue on your own.

• You may choose to continue having me guide you in your decision-making.

• You may use me as a consultant for specific questions or for suggestions on how to approach certain portions of your process.

• Or we can dance with all three at different times of your project.

I'm happy to help you as much or as little as you want.

Call or text me to set up a free 20-minute call to discuss what you want to accomplish. If we decide to work together, we'll set up our first work meeting.

 

I'm available in-person on the south Oregon coast for people referred to me by my clients.

 

I'm available via Zoom or FaceTime anywhere you live.

 

My fee is $35 per hour with a one-hour minimum charge per meeting, even if we meet for less than an hour. My travel time is charged at the same rate.

 

Consultation calls are $25 each, up to a half hour.

 

Payment is due at the time of services rendered.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Let's get this done!
