Divine Order

Description of Work: I paid for organization and I got it.

Description of Work: Helped me organize my completely out-of-control knitting center.

Description of Work: Following dissolution of 28 year marriage, I needed to sort through items in home to determine what to keep, sell, pitch or donate in preparation for move following sale of home. Overwhelming time to say the least. Barb came over for initial assessment consultation, then followed up with an assessment summary listing goals to be accomplished during the 10-hour package I purchased for her professional services.

Description of Work: Worked with me to organize and purge items in my coat/storage closet.

Description of Work: I have always been an organized person. However, most of us have areas where we need help getting past the clutter. I envisioned Barbara helping me organize my years of photos. Then my husband died unexpectedly, and my life was turned upside down. I had to sell my large house, figure out what to keep, sell, donate or give to family, put my belongings in storage, move out of state for three months, and return to a new smaller house which needed to be organized. In addition, being the executor of the estate and the recipient of our business, I was handling many financial and legal matters I had never dealt with before. To say I was overwhelmed was a gross understatement. To all of this Barbara brought her very calm gentle and warm presence, She is very professional and I had complete confidence that I was in good hands. Between visits she stayed in touch with me by phone and email. She took many matters in hand that I didn't have the time or energy to do, such as creating a plan for disposing of household items complete with workbook, providing options for moving and storage, and organizing a massive amount of paperwork. She also provided assistance with organizing my things in a house half the size of my former one. I have been grateful for her help many times, but especially when I am called upon to produce some paperwork for the attorneys or IRS. I can go right to it in the files she created. I realize that the amount I spent would probably be higher than normal because I needed her for such an extended period of time (seven months). She not only provided me with guidance, she also provided the materials I needed for organizing, such as file folders and filing boxes. This was included in the costs. She knew right what to get and where to get it, thus saving valuable time for me. She then helped me mark every one of them and sort the paperwork into them. And yes, I will use her again for those photos and also to help me maintain the organization I have now.

Description of Work: Barbara Bougher came to our home, assessed the disorder in our home office and described a plan of action. We already knew that we were finally ready to get through all the old papers, files and junk and the 3 of us (my husband, myself and Barbara) got to work. Barbara was so great -- keeping us focused to push through the mess with humor and terrific skills. We'll have her back to work on other areas of our home!

Description of Work: I had a storage unit (about the size of a generous walk-in closet) that I needed to sort through and organized the items for pick up by Junk Dawgs hauling service. The job was too monumental for me to do by myself, so I hired Barbara to help me with it. We named it the "Git R Dun" session. I first had a coaching call with her ($25) to sort through what needed to be done. Then we met at the storage unit ($100). I arrived a bit early and had everything out of the unit before she arrived. Our work consisted of going through EVERYTHING, identifying it as keep, donate, consign, recycle, trash. Barbara made a list of all the donate for tax purposes as well as the consign items. Boxes for donate were tagged with blue stickers to make it easier for the hauling company. We then put everything back in the unit with the things I was keeping/consigning to the back and the rest in the front. Once completed, Barbara re-capped the project and asked me some insightful questions.
