My
office had gotten to such a state of disarray; I no longer wanted to spend any
time in it! Thus being an obvious chance
for my favourite demon procrastination to sneak in and sabotage business
productivity. I knew I needed to spend
some time organizing everything, but I didn’t know where to start. I decided to take my own advice and ask for
help when feeling overwhelmed. I visited the NeatFreak website and sent an SOS
email to Jacqui. After
a few emails back and forth we arranged a time for a visit. Jacqui interviewed me, took photos of my
available space and sketched a plan for my newly organized office. She also gave me a shopping list of bits and
pieces to purchase before our next meeting.
After
getting my head around the new layout and doing as much tidying up as I could
on my own, the NeatFreak was back!
Jacqui helped me move the office into the planned spaces, and refused to
let me put anything back unless it had a purpose and an organized space to live
in. After she left, I spent the rest of
the afternoon with some direction and hope for a peaceful uncluttered organized
work space.
Upon
her final visit, the NeatFreak checked on my organizational skills by looking
through my shelves and drawers - she was most impressed with my white-board and
new filing boxes.
I
have heaps more space, a sunny outlook from where my desk is situated and
productivity has increased ten fold. I
really enjoy working in my new office, only problem now is my family can’t seem
to get me out of it!
Thank
you Jacqui, I fully recommend NeatFreak to anyone wanting to simplify their
life - it’s amazing how de-stressed I feel.
Kind

To be honest I wasn't so sure exactly how Jacqui would be able to help me! Like most people, I knew exactly what I had to do, the problem was that I just wasn't doing it! I'm very busy; I have two small children, a business, and am finishing off a degree part time. There's not a lot of time left in the day to organise the house. So the house went from being reasonably tidy occasionally (when we finally got sick of it and had a big clean-up) to being very messy again within a few days. Every time I came home it just drained my energy because all I could see around me was work that needed to be done. I would spend too much time looking for things, and would stress out whenever we had visitors because I was embarrassed by the state of our house.Lucky for me, Jacqui got recommended to me by a friend, so I gave her a call not really knowing what I was in for or how it would work. Anyway, she came around and looked at the house in it's glorious state and we got started pretty much straight away, room by room. I did the sorting under her watchful eye. No walking away and finding something else to do now! It's important that you're the one doing the job with Jacqui, so together you can work out solutions tailored to you and your lifestyle.
Gradually we got through everything, over the course of about 5 sessions with Jacqui. She encouraged me to do all those little jobs that I never got around to doing and that cluttered up the house. She gave me very useful and cost effective storage ideas, ensuring I spent money on solutions that work. Then we worked out long term strategies for our family that have so far worked to keep our house in a respectable state.
Even though I "knew" what to do, I also know I would never have done it if it wasn't for Jacqui coming over and helping me out. Setting that time aside and talking through all the issues that were keeping our home in a shambles was very helpful and therapeutic! I'm so much happier at home now, and so is the rest of our family! I would highly recommend Jacqui's services to anyone getting stressed out by the disorganised state of their home.
