Analyzie, Strategize, & Attack

Organizing from the inside out is a method that accommodates your personality, needs, situation, and goals rather than forces you to change.

Analyze

Step back to take stock of your current situation by defining where you are, where you are going, what’s holding you back, and why it’s important to get there.

Strategize

Create a plan of action for the physical transformation of your space, including a realistic schedule for making it happen.

Attack

Methodically dive in to the clutter, sorting and arranging items to reflect the way you think, making sure you see visible, dramatic results as you work.
