The Cheerful Sort Professional Organizing

"Shelly 'partnered' with me to help me create a workspace and gain some mental clarity. We have more rooms to go, but my husband and I are encouraged and grateful. Her with and judgement-free style make the process uplifting." - Amy

"Fantastic work! Shelly has a great personality, no judgements on how messy your space has become. Very flexible and down to earth. She will be kind to your things!" - Katina

"Wow, what a difference you have made in our lives through our home!!! We are so proud to have visitors over now! Thank you SO much for your hard work and kindness! - Frieda

"Shelly has an eye for organizing. A year ago she organized our pantry and kitchen cabinets. My husband and I were over the moon about how easy it was to access and locate various items in our kitchen. To this day neither of us have asked each other where something is. Everything has it's place and we've been able to easily keep it this way. I appreciate Shelly's talent and was so glad to use her service!!!" -

Welcome! I am happy to help you sort out whatever you need.

Who I work with:
People of artistic temperament. People with ADHD and other executive functioning problems. People with disabilities. People who have experienced trauma.

Prices:
My prices are $30/hour to $6O/hour, depending on the situation.

First Meeting:
I give a free 30 minute consultation. Unless you hire me and then I charge for that 30 minutes, with the rate we agree on.

Scheduling:
I work in 3 hour increments, mostly because that seems to be the amount of time people feel comfortable doing. I accept payment at the end of every work session

Exceptions in Scheduling:
However, with rooms like garages or attics, I can do a full day, if needed.

I will be flexible about my hours to accommodate your needs, since I know not everybody has regular hours.

Assurances:
I will always support your choices. I will never toss anything without your express approval. There will never be a moment of judgement.

More Assurances:
I am kind. Perfection is never the goal. The goal is functional. Can you find your scissors? Can you have people over and feel confident about your space? Those kinds of goals.

Why I Do This Work:
For me, the job is a big fun puzzle. I like to find out what a person's life goals are and then help them clear the space so those goals can happen.

Cancellations:
Things happen. Also, things happen for me, so I understand emergencies. That being said, I know the demon of procrastination and avoidance and how it sabotages your efforts, so if you cancel twice, I will decide you aren't ready and move on with scheduling other clients. When you want to try again, I will be ready

I think that's it! Also, I can do virtual organizing to anywhere in the world. It works, but it takes longer.
