Elizabeth formed Simply Organized over 20 years ago to develop plans to help individuals and businesses boost efficiency and productivity, reduce stress, save time, and simplify work systems and lives.
She facilitates the organization process by consulting with clients to identify problem areas, setting organizational goals, presenting customized solutions tailored to professions and work style, and providing hands-on assistance.

Your initial consultation includes a needs assessment and an evaluation of the systems you are currently using. After the consultation there are a number of approaches to tackling your organizational issues:
First, Simply Organized can act as a consultant to help you prioritize your goals and design a plan of implementation. You then put the goals and plan into action on your own.
Secondly, clients may also choose to have Simply Organized go one step further by initiating the necessary steps in creating the new system(s). Simply Organized will work with you, hands on, to clear your clutter.
However, if your schedule does not allow you time to work on the organization plan and you just want Simply Organized “to get the job done,” Elizabeth is more than capable of working independently on the agreed upon plan.
Also, please do not tidy up your home and office before Simply Organized arrives! Your piles and cluttered surfaces provide valuable insight into your patterns and help to determine what organizing systems will work best for you to maintain order.
