I consider Susan to be an “organizational shrink.” Shechanged my life by teaching me the methods and strategies of organization that now apply to every aspect of my life. I first hired Susan Lasky for home organization that had such a positive impact on my lifestyle, we moved forward and over to my business. Get ready for some real peace of mind!

Home Office for the Business of Lifeâ„¢
– Where you do your personal work.
This concept (coined by Barbara Hemphill, an early guru of organization) refers to a ‘command central’ – a comfortable place to pay bills, handle incoming and outgoing mail, track social activities, process medical claims, etc. Every home needs one! The alternative? Papers scattered everywhere, files by piles, missing items and important actions forgotten or not done on time. Let’s create a space that works for your needs!
Calendar Systems and Scheduling–
How do you track your activities?
We all needa system totrackactivities, upcoming events and key tasks. (“Don’t say YESif you can’t say WHEN!“) When families are involved, itgets evenmore complicated. The alternative? Events missed, being unprepared for them, or having time conflicts. (Did you buy and wrap the birthday gift? … Send the 50thanniversary card? … Pay the bills on time? … Schedule a dentist appointment at the same time as the soccer playoff?) Most people just ‘wing it’ – but ask yourself, “How is that working for you?”
Papers, Computer Files andEmail –
Canyouquickly find what you need?
A good filing system is an easy retrieval system. Do you waste time looking for papers or files? Are you clear about which papers you have to keep and what you can eliminate? How about emails and computer files? Can you easily find what you need? Can others? Do you have copies of critical information backed up somewhere safe? Together, we’ll design and set-up a system that isn’t overkill, but meets your needs and those of your family.
Action Files and Project Management –
This is how toget things done!
When working on a project (the charity event you are chairing, your child’s IEP meeting at school, buying a new car, renovating the kitchen, etc.), useAction filesto keep track of relevant informationforeasy access. (These aredifferent than Reference or Archivalfiles.) Break projects into do-able tasksandcreatea timelineusing simple project management skills. This process can be overwhelming, but I can help.And once you ‘get it,’ you own it.
Organize Stuff, Maximize Space and Declutter– Or is itout of control?
Doyougroup like with like so it’s easy to find what you need? Can you quicklyfind stuffbecause everything has a homeor doyou waste money buying duplicates of items you didn’t know you had? Do you have the right storage in the most user-friendly locations? Are you holding on to stuff because it is just too difficult to let go? I empathize, but life works better when you are less bogged downwith things you don’t really use, need or love. Letting go is a process, as is finding the best ‘home’ for the items you decide to keep. I help make it less of a struggle.
