"Laura did a wonderful job of organizing my home office.  My office was a disaster and Laura helped sort through piles of paper and showed me effective ways to keep business and personal information in order.  Her filing system is very effective."   - Paula Feldman, Money Mailer  ...

"I worked with Erin, one of the specialists who works with the Chronically Disorganized (hoarders). In a word, she was fantastic. In four 4-hour sessions, she helped me go through and box up (keep, donate, trash) almost everything that was stacked up in my kitchen, dining room, office, and bonus room. Erin arrived promptly. We went over what I wanted to accomplish that day, then we got to work. She was focused, calm, non-judgmental, and tireless. She faced very dirty circumstances and didn't bat an eyelash. She never once caused me a moment of anxiety; the relief that I felt when we were done was amazing. And Laura Leist, who is the owner of Eliminate Chaos, was lovely. She returned my calls promptly, was kind and understanding, and offered me some options. I would hire this company again ...

"Thanks so much for your helpful work today.  I can see why you're so much more valuable than a book.  You got into my work and way of thinking in order to determine what systems would best suite me and my business.  You watched and listened to me and brought me the system that fits me like a glove.  I feel so much clearer.  You eliminated MY chaos!" - Renee Adsitt, Color Whiz ...

"We both understand the principles of getting rid of clutter but somehow there was too much inertia to overcome, which in turn blocked any real forward progress. Each time we tried, we would spend several well-intentioned days working through some files and then other issues would emerge to occupy our time.  Consequently, we really did not make sufficient forward progress.

Our thought in hiring Margaret was to leverage her expertise in organizing, but even more, her capacity as a 'coach' to keep us focused on achieving our objective of living without clutter.  That seems a lofty goal, but I can tell you that we are currently living without clutter!   Interestingly, during the process, we discovered that a number of things that really were import...

"I got my car in the garage today!!  No more scraping ice off.  I can't thank you enough - you are my hero.  I'm telling everyone about your service." - Kim Gillespie ...

"After going through every box in the house, I saved myself $8,500 in taxes and found 2 checks worth $3,500 that had not been cashed.  No wonder I am so motivated to keep this up!  I am confident that my organizational relief project will enable me to do more business, be more efficient with my client files, and reduce the stress this career tends to put on my family life.  Thank you Margaret and Laura!"   - Jennifer Blum, Real Estate Agent, Coldwell Banker Bain
