Susan Kloss Pro Organizer

I have been using Susan Kloss' services for over 5 years now. She has helped me with closet clean outs, book shelf make-overs, the creation of a filing system for records and references, formation of a personalized system for dealing with the mail, efficient storage of Christmas decorations, repurposing a rec room, bathroom cabinet clean outs and reorganizations, and so on. No project overwhelms her! She has helped me locate, purchase and even assemble furniture - she is spatial and handy with tools. She has helped me create a beautiful workspace that actually makes me want to sit down at my desk and do paper work! She uses little expressions that stay with me long after our appointment is over: ""What's the next step?"" ?What am I doing; what am I not doing?"" ?Empty, empty, empty!? ?One thing at a time!? ?Put like with like.? ?This is just the first pass.? She has an eye for color and beauty and is useful with decorating issues although she doesn?t present herself in this way. Susan Kloss is reliable, non-judgmental, compassionate, sensitive, resourceful, experienced, spatial, handy, creative, visual, intentional, practical, diplomatic, an excellent listener, professional, and responsible. She consistently goes above and beyond what is expected. My time with her has been nothing short of a blessing. If you need help with organizing, give Susan Kloss a try and see if you aren?t wonderfully impressed with her services. She is a true gem, doing just what she was created to do! more

My husband and I were newly married and had two households of stuff we were trying to cram into one townhouse. We also had wedding stuff everywhere and were going insane quickly. We hired Susan at random out of the phonebook and if you ask my husband, he will agree it is the best money we ever spent to insure a harmonious future together. In the nine years since we started working with Susan, we didn't just get organized, we learned HOW to organize. I had piles of books (when I could find them!) but they never helped because I got too paralyzed when I stared at the mounds of junk I needed to sort through. Some of what she offered was just holding our hands when we threw away that weird gift item we felt guilty about wanting to get rid of. But most of what she gave us was techniques to use. We still use them today, and we have taught them to our daughter. When we have an overwhelming organizational task, we have a process we use to break the task down, like we start by ""making floor"". It doesn't translate in just these few words, but having that starting point makes all the difference. We also learned how and when to label, and - very important - how to buy organizing containers without making several classic mistakes. She really made our lives better overall. We're less stressed, we can find the things we need to find, and it is both possible and easy for our daughter to clean her room. We can't say enough wonderful things about Susan Kloss. Pros: good teacher, good communicator, non judgemental! Cons: she has a lot of clients and may be hard to book time with more
