Just for me

When two become one: creating space for the next chapter

4 to 25 hours

When two become one, belongings that once had a useful purpose become little more than burdens and reminders. What do I keep? What do I sell? What do I do with all these things? This challenge is often made more difficult by the memories that objects evoke. Instead of dealing with the boxes and the decisions, we delay, hoping the whole mess will just fade away.

Together, we'll tackle this job. We begin by taking stock of your future. Where do you want to go? What do you want your next chapter to be? Armed with this information, you’ll make choices about the things you want to take with you. We’ll help you fashion a new life out of the past; keeping the treasure, but discarding the clutter. And when we’re done, we’ll help you set up new organizational procedures that make your new space easy to maintain.

Work is my life – help me fix the other part

2 to 4 hours

For many of us, there's no such thing as “too many hours” at work. We feel a passion for what we do. If we didn’t get paid, we’d still find a way to do the work we love. But, sometimes that means missing meals, forgetting to do the laundry, and – oh, I better set out a new bag of food for the cat.

Focusing on your passion doesn’t have to mean that the rest of your life has to be ignored. Often, we just need to understand how to do more in less time. By streamlining the household, we are better able to take care of ourselves, and we create more time to follow our passions. We’ll show you how to keep the chores to a minimum, while maximizing your life.

One person filling four shoes: managing a household on your own

2 to 4 hours

I pay the bills; she pays the income taxes. He mows the lawn; I vacuum the floors. What do you do when suddenly every chore is yours? The responsibility is overwhelming. Many people become too dispirited to make the attempt, and the chores keep piling up.

Leaving home can be a big transition. Maybe you’re going to college. Maybe you have to work away from home for an extended time. Maybe your husband or wife is going off to war or to work in another city for a year or two. Now what? You are all by yourself, taking care of the responsibilities that two used to share.

Running a household by yourself can be a manageable task. We sit down and review your abilities and interests. What can you do – and what do you need help with? Often, we can devise creative solutions that will enable you to take advantage of the things you like to do. Do we need to rethink your living spaces to make them easier to maintain? Are their friends or neighbors that you can swap chores with? We’ll develop a comprehensive list that will break down your household into manageable tasks and make sure they all get done.
