About Beth Greenawalt

Background:

As a stay at home mother, I was frustrated by my inability to get things done regularly. The house always seemed messy, the laundry was always piled up, I would miss or forget about appointments and when was I ever going to get to the stuff on the desk?!! There were always interruptions and a task would sit unfinished while another was started. My priority was my daughter and her needs and everything else took second place. When I found I had unexpected time on my hands, often it would be wasted because I couldn’t decide what to do, or I thought the task would take longer than I had time for so I wouldn’t even start.

Organizing my time did not come naturally to me. I realized that I had to learn how to organize my time in order to organize my life. After much reading and researching, I started to compile the ideas that worked for me. I learned the beauty of routines, the fulfillment and peace associated with focusing on a task and completing it and the magic of using a timer!

I learned the best way to use a family calendar so that everyone knows what is going on and I learned how to find time for me everyday so that I would have the energy to tackle all the day held. Most of what I learned is very simple. These are the things that I want to share with you.

Organizing my space has always been easy for me. It seems natural to create logical homes for items so that I always know where everything is. When I worked part time with adults with ADD, I was often asked “Will this help me organize my desk?” I realized that many people just don’t know some of the simple techniques that would help them find a way through their clutter but how would I teach them?

Listening to NPR one afternoon, I heard someone at a NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) Conference speaking about her work as an organizer. That was when I realized that organizing was a career and a way for me to share what I had learned. I contacted the woman I heard interviewed. I worked as her associate organizer for a year before deciding to branch out on my own.

I wanted to share with other moms the things I learned. Life is always busy but there is a way to find peace and satisfaction. Let me help you create Simple Solutions for you, for your home and for your life.
