to say in their own words...
In the start-up phase of our business, I focused completely on all aspects of product development, production, and sales launch - to the detriment of my office organization. This began to affect my productivity as I could not always find what I needed. With a major product push starting at the beginning of the year, I knew that I needed assistance in setting up an organizational system. I know that I can follow a system, once it is in place, but establishing an effective system is not in my skill-set. In the very first three hours that I met with Emily, she made dramatic improvements in my office organization, based on an initial conversation with me about my work and office habits. Emily was objective in her approach - no judgments about my work habits. She prioritized and organized all of the many facets of my work, in ways that made sense to me. This provides needed ease and momentum for me to maintain this organization. Emily created a logical filing system and offered suggestions to help me keep my space organized. I highly recommend working with Emily. It is a great investment in your success.

Emily was wonderful to work with. She involved me in designing an organization system that would work for me rather than imposing a “one size fits all approach”.

It has been my pleasure to work with Ms. Emily Fitzgerald and her wonderful company, Organized Living Solutions. She has had a significant effect on our company's productivity and the overall mental and physical well being of our staff. Through the demonstration and training of a proper way to set up, track and follow up on our various tasks and paper work she has been able to reduce the stress in the work place while increasing the through-put. Most employees are delightfully surprised by the ease of the new processes she has them integrate and the results they see. In addition she is herself a delight to work with, never flustered or caught of guard by the ever changing requirements handed to her. I can quite safely say Emily has always brought everything to the task at hand and more than returned her fee in results.

Working with Emily turned a task I'd put off and dreaded into a fun, easy, relatively simple task. She absolutely goes above and beyond. I expected to be told what to do and feared that I wouldn't be able to stick to it. Instead she took the time to see what would work for me and my work style and it did work. Money well spent!

Emily with Organized Living Solutions was really the solution to my problems! I have a thriving practice that is paper intensive, but did not have any systems in place to make the flow of paperwork intuitive, just frustrating! Emily helped me to organize the office environ for a smoother operation, clarified the systems that I had in place that were working, and discussed ways of reducing the work of the paper. It has increased my efficiency, decreased the amount of paperwork needed and reduced my frustration. I am so pleased that we hired Emily!

Dear Emily:
The four hours we spent
organizing my office cubicle had such a great impact on my work life:
Having been through numerous
time management seminars, it can be hard to go back and apply general ideas
effectively. The first hour of our meeting, where we spent reviewing my average
day and then setting up computer systems, was the BEST time management training
I've ever experienced. It was so focused on my situation vs. general suggestions.
The action and reference
file systems we set up are working out GREAT. I've tried action and reference
systems before. However, this system is personalized to my needs so it didn't
take long for the systems to become a habit.
The "homework" you left
for me to do on my own time was completed in two hours. I thought it would
take days!
Speaking of days, I spent
at least five Saturdays "organizing" before our meeting. I wish I would have
met with you first for four or five hours, and then spent one Saturday implementing
your suggestions. You showed me how to FOCUS on what my goals are and how
to set up a working system.
I'm a creative person
in a very structured environment. Thank you so much for helping me come up
with a system that works for me, but that also works in my professional life.
Finally, I want to thank
you for your listening skills, your attention to the budget, and your ability
to set up an office system that was so geared toward my individual needs.
I was expecting a "cookie cutter" approach, and your people skills really
assisted me in organizing my space in a way that feels very comfortable and
natural to me.
Thank you again and the
house is next!

Dear Emily,
Thank you so much for
helping me set up my office. In general, thank you for being prompt, reliable,
dependable, efficient, trustworthy, friendly, energetic and patient.
More specifically, I
really appreciate you going the extra mile and finding the exact office furniture
I was looking for, making the trips to the various stores to find out what
accessories would fit me best, meeting me at the stores and at my office.
I know how persnickety and demanding I can be. You always were gracious to
me no matter what.
The suggestions you
made concerning my office furniture arrangement were perfect. Your follow-up
after the initial project has also been much appreciated.
Being a single custodial
parent and trying to start and run my own business has been extremely challenging.
I can honestly say that I don't know what I would have done without your help.
I will forever be indebted to you for the wonderful service you provided for
me at such a crucial juncture of my life.
Your talent in organizing,
proxemics, and systems implementation truly are a gift from God that you use
well.
Thank you again,
Bill
Dear Emily,
I wanted to write you
a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate your time and energy in
helping me get organized. The transformation of both my bedroom and my office
is so complete that I can scarcely recognize either -- though I can find anything
now!
My office is a space
I'm proud of now, which is no small accomplishment since customers stare at
it every day. What a relief no longer to be embarrassed by the sheet of plywood
I threw over the bookcase to make a table! By the way, by putting that bookcase
in my home closet, you so neatly arranged all of my photo and craft supplies
that I finally started some long-neglected projects.
Finally, I appreciate
your concern to stay within my budget. The few dollars we went over I gladly
claim as my responsibility since there were those few little things I just
had to have (the nightstand, for example!). Your creative solutions, your
persistence in clearing through my papers, and your attention to detail made
the entire experience (which I'd been dreading) a pleasure instead.
Yours,
Amanda
