Cheryl is a delight to work with.It is is astoundiing how much you get done and how decisive you can be when you have someone guiding you by logic and not by emotion!!! How often were we going to wear that dress that does not fit,?Cheryl has a amazing amount of ideas on how to stay organized. She has you make a shopping list off items you can buy to help keep things tidy. I feel that using Cheryl's services to help me is money so well spent. It is so helpful learning about organizational skills from an expert Cheryl is very professional and always on time. I would give high marks to Cheryl and her service. She is amazing!!
Description of Work: I have engaged the services of Cheryl's Organizing Concepts for several years. I have used Cheryl's services to set up a wonderful filing system after going through and throwing out papers etc. that I no longer needed. Cheryl set up sub categories that have made my life easier as I have files for important paper and files for articles and keepsakes that would have been sfuffed in a drawer. I can now access these articles etc. easily. She has set up an index and labeled all files with a system that is efficient and easy to use. I have used this service at the start of each new year to get rid of the old and update the new ! I have also had Cheryl help me to clean out closets gert rid of "stuff" that I did not wear or need any longer.Cheryl made piles, some were donated to charitable organizations, others wereto be shredded and some trash. It has been the best money I have spent. I use Cheryl several times a year to make sure I stay on track.

We wanted help organizing 2 bedrooms, the kitchen, the basement, living room, an office, and the garage. After reviewing the state of our home and taking "before" photos, Cheryl recommended the 25-hour package service. We started immediately. We chose a room and a spot to start, and she kept me on task deciding, piece by piece through the clutter, where each item should go, and I put it there. She made suggestions and offered solutions along the way. With her supervision I was able to not get distracted or discouraged, and after each 3 hour session a room (or more) had been de-cluttered and well on its way to being organized. The progress was very encouraging, and motivated me to continue on my own between sessions. We worked right up to the end of each 3-hour session, though - leaving several large, organized, but unsightly piles for me to 'do something' with - move to my car to donate, give to a friend, etc. I'd have preferred we spend a little time actually taking out the trash so my house looked better when she left. Cheryl was very professional, and a delightful person - I enjoyed her company. I worried a little before the first session about feeling embarrassed about my clutter - but she was very non-judgmental. We de-cluttered, and she gave me a series of tips to stay organized, but I had expected her to listen to how I live and what factors lead to my clutter, and devise an approach to address those factors in order to remain organized in the future. Perhaps that's not possible from a home-organizing service; I think my problem is that in the limited time I have, I want to relax or have fun, not clean up the kitchen counter - so it's a mess again. The rest of the house still looks good, though. And from my experience with Cheryl, I know how to intervene when places start to get a little messy.
Description of Work: Supervised and provided structure and task focus for room-by-room home organizing and filing.

The woman they sent was terrible. It was like having my mother in-law come in. I couldn’t get her out fast enough. She was incredibly judgemental. Not what I expect from an organizer.
Description of Work: They had a lady come in to organize my office.

Response from Cheryl's Organizing Concepts LLC
This work was actually done in January and March 2007. The client booked the organizer two more times after the original session. The organizer has worked with more than 50 clients and has always received excellent reviews with no complaints about being judgmental. The client did not let me know that there was a problem. I spoke to her after I read the review and offered to do a free session myself and assured her if she had contacted me at the time she would not have been billed for the service.
