"I had grown quietly but increasingly desperate, seeing my office desk piling up ever more with clutter each day, noting I could no longer push additional papers into bulging files. When I saw her online ad and noted she was in Phoenix, I called immediately.

Ms. Simpson is a consummate professional. She finds out quickly through prepared questionnaires and personal interview, exactly what YOU wish to accomplish. She won’t decide what needs to be thrown out, but she is a font of wisdom regarding what needs to be kept for various financial or tax reasons, and very helpful in making suggestions about how to organize what you definitely need, what you may want to keep, etc.

She has specific rules (should you put papers in file from newest to oldest or oldest to newest; should you label the top of the file on the back or front of the file?), and explains why her choices are better than the alternatives. Feel free, of course, to do it your way instead, but I was amazed at how much easier her way made things. She specializes in simple solutions to common problems.

I caution that organizational services may cost more than expected, in part because the tasks take longer to accomplish than one initially thinks, and in part because once you see how well she has organized, say, your office, all of a sudden organizing the attic or garage or basement become considerations worth exploring. And like any new habit, it is easy to fall out of it, and you may need to call for an extra appointment in six months or so to “catch up”.

Be prepared that this is a team effort; Valerie works hard, but so will you. You can’t get organizing done by just delegating her to do it. It’s much more interactive than that, so you need to plan the time. But it’s well worth while when you’ve finished.

I highly recommend Valerie J. Simpson if you’ve an office, attic, basement, kitchen, closet, or most anything that needs to be organized." Ross Levatter, MD in Phoenix, Arizona 031308

"I feel ready to be independent. Valerie was such a good organizing coach that I can now problem solve most of my home and classroom clutter issues. I have learned and changed. Nothing frightens Valerie as she is an amazing, upbeat professional  She was most helpful in creating a system that was specific to my needs and my family's issues. I admit that after just 10 visits - most of my house is clutter free. I continue to work on the small portions that are left. I am in control! Valerie was the best at being able to reflect my issues and help me break them down into manageable chunks." Joan Buckley an Elementary School Teacher in Scottsdale, Arizona

See the “things” around me -"Valerie’s coaching enabled me to see the “things” around me that were not necessary to do my job and might just be cluttering my workspace as well as my ability to think more clearly because of less ‘stuff’ around me. By removing some of this ‘stuff’ it cleared the ‘air’ so to speak. Plus it is just easier and more efficient to work at a desk or in a cube that is not cluttered. Valerie’s coaching has brought my attention to a higher level of awareness to just work efficiently and to help me be calmer and have a feeling on being ‘on top of things’ that I’m responsible for and to ‘let go’ of the things I are not my responsibility. The suggestion to keep a notebook/calendar of things “to do” has also been a tremendous help to track “to do” items and provided a wonderful feeling of accomplishment by crossing a “to do” off the list!
I’ve even carried the calendar ‘to do’ book idea over to my personal life………..whew!......what a way to keep me on track and accomplish those at home tasks.
I realize I’ve only touched the surface of ways to improve.  What I have found out on this short journey is that I totally groove on this organizing stuff and would enjoy sharing with others. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with Valerie and look forward to future learning experiences." Mary Scott - Health Care Executive Administrative Assistant, Phoenix.

In fact, I thought about it this morning and it's amazing how I am so much more focused on my actual business instead of the mess and clutter. I can really get things accomplished and I know where I am going with my day. It's also amazing how much more I feel in control of my business. Thanks for setting me on a new path !"

"I want to thank you for helping me, no, making me get organized.  After putting you off several times because the task seemed overwhelming and also because I thought I needed to get somewhat organized before you came, you said to me “that’s what you are hiring me for, let me help you”. And what a great help you were.
 
You gently pushed me to begin the job that I thought was insurmountable and after 3 hours of going over each process in our office you fine-tuned systems, cleared the office of unnecessary clutter and helped us completely redesign other areas that we hadn’t even thought of.
While we are not 100% to our goal yet, we are running 95% better than we were just a month ago.
I don’t think I will ever forget how you sat there listening to me go over every office process all the while taking notes and the informing me “did you know you have 4 calendars on your desk?” I had become oblivious to how much clutter was on my desk.
 
We didn’t realize how productive we could be until we uncluttered our office and now it’s spilling over into our homes as well. Our agents are all on organize mode.
I can’t thank you enough for your knowledge, expertise and gentle persuasion.
I would recommend you to anyone who needs a little help organizing not just their office but also their life. Sincerely,  Nancy Sharp, Real Estate Agent- Phoenix, AZ

"I have been working with Valerie for a long time. I was a pack rat with emotional ties to a lot of things and was afraid to throw things out. I was a disorganized mess and ashamed how bad I had become. Valerie came into my life and helped me remove the shame I had been carrying regarding my secret. Valerie worked with me to reduce the clutter and disorganization I had been living with for a long time. I'm a work in progress, but feel so much better about myself. Valerie is a genuine person who wants to help people be efficient and free of shame." Marian Salutz - Accountant in Phoenix, Arizona

Judy was unfailingly helpful, organized and patient! She helped a great deal on decision making, when I was trying to figure out what was keep or pitch, and where to store things based on amount and type of use.

"Thank you so much for your phone call today and your kind words regarding our upcoming move. I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed speaking with you and think you offer an invaluable service.

I've spent the past several days going through my house and currently have two massive piles in the garage - one for donation and the other for trash collection.

Pam S. a medical transcriptionist in Dover, MN 0208

"Thanks so much for your expert help during our move! Without your assistance and the presence of "The organizers" we'd still be hopelessly mired in piles of boxes and clutter.

Thanks again for your excellent work. We will be happy to serve as a reference for future clients." Marc R. in Paradise Valley, Arizona 0208

In fact,  upon returning to my office that same day I rearranged my desk and I was amazed at the difference. Your system seems to simplify tasks while saving precious time and gives a unique approach in handling the volumes of paperwork we all struggle to manage.  
I look forward to learning more in the future and I will be in touch soon.

"Valerie J. Simpson of A to Z Organizing Pros delivered an engaging, interesting, and useful workshop to the Latino Business Connection as our monthly speaker. Our diverse group of small business owners gave Valerie their rapt attention as she shared the basics of organization through the “Get The Cow Off My Desk And The Monkey Off My Back” presentation.
As a facilitator by trade, I watch for the ‘ah-hah’ moments among the participants and there were many! There were also recognitions of the need to apply the many useful ideas that Valerie enthusiastically brought forth in a short period of time. Her practical approach of challenging the audience to improve their lives through better organization makes sense in today’s fast-paced world.

"For the longest time, when it comes to getting my office organized, I spent more energy trying to figure out what to do than doing it. In just an hour I learned the essential actions I needed to take and parameters to keep it going.
I reduced four stuffed file cabinet drawers to one and a half drawers in three committed hours. I can now find things I thought I had lost! I find things faster. I’m less stressed with “information overload” because I now have a much better way to handle “incoming”. I will save the time invested in getting everything in order probably in a couple weeks.
The very next day was the test. I passed with flying colors. I was able to put my fingers on several items within a minute that previously would have left me wondering where in the world did I put them!
I bought bankers boxes, I have eliminated 2 drawers in my other filing cabinet and 3 shelves worth of “stuff” that belongs more in long term storage (i.e. tax & academic info). I tackle one part each week now and I am making unbelievable gains in my ability to get and stay organized and get uncluttered. The system of “current” files located in my desk has worked wonders.

Highly Effective People
Thanks again for your wonderful presentation last night at the Mary Kay Training Center. I was pleased to hear quite a bit of the same values/principals instituted through Franklin Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The information on tips /tools/procrastination and time in relation to life were right in sync with him. I strive to be highly organized so it was interesting. I know there are a lot of women who greatly enjoyed you. Congratulations on a job well done. Jo Ann C.

How did I live without it!
Thank you for encouraging me to get a PDA (hand-held organizer), I’m more productive then ever. How did I live without it! The way you set-up and organized my business and personal files has made it so easy, I can find things very quickly. J. Aaron Y.

Who would have ever thought organizing could be fun?
I didn’t even want to think about [organizing]. I had just moved, everything was still in boxes. Don’t ask me which ones…and don’t ask me how many times I went through all those boxes (25 to be exact) before finding what I was looking for. And what about all the stuff piling up on my desk, kitchen counter, and dining room table? Hey, I need that stuff!
Just turn it over to Valerie the little voice said…Valerie J. Simpson of A to Z Organizing Pros®. I met her at *B.A.B.E.S. Booming in Business. How she came to us, I don’t know. Maybe she possesses a homing device that targets the hopelessly dazed and disorganized.
Valerie J. Simpson makes organizing fun. This “super” woman is undaunted by any mound of paperwork and can leap over tall boxes in a single bound. Lets not forget her insatiable grin. This is a work together kind of deal.
“That way you’ll know where everything is.”
Now there’s a concept. I swear, it’s contagious. I put things away now and only handle them once. I have an office in my car! And those 25 boxes are a thing of beauty.
Being organized is fun! Thank you, A to Z Organizing Pros®! Deborah W.

I'm impressed as usual
Thanks for all of your great help and support. I did get to put my phone list together tonight.. Yipeeeee... I'm glad to have conquered just a few more things to simplify my existence..
Not that my life is complicated or anything... I read the whole "Organizing You News" Newsletter in 2 minutes... great job.. very informative.. I'm impressed as usual, also thanks for your follow up calls... I do appreciate you. Suzi H.

I was astounded...
 at how quickly you were able to assess my office set-up and help me organize my office. Max M.
Thank-you, Thank you
Thank you for the work you did at NewCom last week. I'm amazed at the difference you made in our office, in such a short amount of time. You truly, truly have a gift. Andrea can't rave enough about how great the new office set-up is and I'm sure she will be calling you in the near future to take another step. I'd also like to hire you to come out to my house and see what you can do to my humble office. I can only imagine. I feel the time is right to get things off to a good start, rather than wait until I'm non-functioning and desperately need your help. I'm interested in a true filing system, along with some structure (organization) to all the stuff I have laying around, along with my book shelves needing straightening out. So please call me when your schedule permits and we'll hook up. Susan A.

Feel at ease
While we organized my office you helped me feel at ease and to realize that I am not the only one that needs assistance in organizing and prioritizing. I was so amazed and thrilled with the amount of work we got done. We accomplished in three hours what would have literally taken me a month to do. Thank you. Marijo H.
