Introduction

Meet Anna, our home office client (a true story)
Anna*, a freelance writer on the South Shore, runs a small business from her home. Each day, despite her best efforts at organization, she becomes lost in the clutter that surrounds her. Overflowing drawers, a desk covered with a mountain of paper and a severe case of the stickies is causing her to lose valuable time. Her household papers and bills are sprawled on the floor and she cannot find her checkbook to pay an overdue bill. The mess is stifling her creativity, jeopardizing her home, and risking her financial independence. While searching for her checkbook, Anna discovers an ad she tore out of her south of Boston newspaper months ago and gives Laine’s Logic a call.

 

Meet & Assessment

Our first meeting with Anna is a 30 minute, no obligation consultation. It provides an opportunity to meet and discuss Anna’s concerns. Discussion revolves around the positives that are working, Anna’s habits and routines, and an assessment of her organizational problem areas. With Laine’s non-judgmental approach and practical solutions, Anna envisions her organized office and makes an appointment to get started.

Plan

On the day of the appointment Laine discusses the action plan that she has created based on Anna’s situation. Our step-by-step approach suggests organizational systems based on Anna’s natural learning style and preferences. We believe that when an organizational system fits your natural learning style, it is easier to maintain.

Organize

We guide Anna through the steps of the process and cover organizing principles and concepts along the way. As we work together, Anna is excited and relieved to finally make decisions that she has been putting off. Her new system for storing ideas for future articles has liberated her creativity and filled her with energy.

Follow - Up

It generally takes 21 days to change a habit or to establish a new one. A follow up phone call 2-4 weeks after completing the project answers any questions and provides suggestions to fine-tune any organizing systems if needed. Anna uses her new maintenance plan to keep her office organized. She now uses her time productively and is energized by her new workspace.

With time and support, a new system can provide multiple rewards: It can save time and energy, increase productivity, stop procrastination, improve finances, control paper and reduce stress, just to name a few.
