Hiring Cynthia from A+ Organization was one of the best decisions I have made for myself and my family. Before meeting Cynthia, I never realized how much more efficiently a professional organizer could help me run my life. She has helped me put organizing into perspective. A little each day is so manageable, especially with a good system in place. The filing system she helped me set up is easy to navigate and a cinch to work with. Who knew filing could be so easy! Additionally, my craft area is now easy to find the project I'd like to work on next. As a school teacher, Cynthia has also helped me organize many classroom materials to make activities and resources literally at my fingertips and create a space that both the students and I feel comfortable working in. Whether or not one is an inherently organized person, Cynthia is able to personalize and create a system for each person's situation. There is no organizational job to small or large. One cannot beat Cynthia's compassionate and motivational personality. She deeply cares about each client and wants to help people feel successful. She is always punctual and has exceeded my expectations with every appointment I've had with her. If you are looking for ways to save time and add order to your life, consider Cynthia Carstens and A+ Organization the solution!

Clutter Awareness
The word "clutter" derives from the Middle English word "clotter," which means coagulate. Think stagnant, accumulated... stuck! When clutter invades our homes and offices, it can make us disorganized. We lose things, forget to pay bills, procrastinate, and waste time. So stop contemplating your clutter and dedicate some time to conquering it!
Define "clutter."
Clutter is anything unnecessary and extraneous. It can be more than the physical clutter most of us think of. Getting organized means clearing out the clutter in your mind, heart, and life.
Start the process of decluttering.
Start small. Divide your desk or room into sections. Pick one section (like one drawer or cupboard) and begin decluttering. Try to touch things only once while going through this process - quickly make a decision to keep or toss!
Ask yourself if you consider each item beautiful, useful, or loved.
If not, you can probably get rid of it! If you're still not sure if you should get rid of an item, ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that could happen if I toss this?" The answer may help give you the power to discard the clutter.
To stop clutter, prevent it from accumulating in the first place.
Don't give clutter a chance to form. As you've probably experienced, once clutter occupies a space, it has a way of multiplying. Always remember to place your emphasis on quality over quantity. In other words, it's not important to have a lot of things, many of which you never use. It's more beneficial to have fewer things, all of which you use and/or enjoy.
Think before you buy.
Try to look beyond the initial "thrill of the purchase" and see what provides deeper moments of meaning. Once you rid yourself of clutter and make space only for what's special, you'll find it's easier to get - and stay - organized!
