Knight Decluttering and Organizing

I'm really excited to be doing a decluttering job in Bloomington IL around April 20-21. If you are in that general area, or in Chicagoland, or anywhere roughly on the way from Madison to Bloomington or Chicagoland and interested in having me help with something like that, let me know and we can figure out schedules and whatnot.

Decluttering and organizing work is something I really love doing because I know how much it helps the other person. It's also one of the ways I can help catch up on my various expenses and get ahead, so I'm definitely hopeful I can get a few more gigs in the near future.

I'm also still looking for potential gigs on the way to or from Baltimore, or in the general area within an hour or two of Baltimore. I'm setting up my booth May 3, vending May 4-5, and could do some half-day jobs or full-day jobs on the weekdays before/after that, depending on whether or not I have evening obligations.

If I could get a decluttering gig somewhere in Ohio on the way to/from that would be an amazing way to split up that trip since I may be driving it alone.

This is a totally viable method. I am grateful to have a term to use with my decluttering clients for this. Generally when I am helping them, they have been stuck trying to Roomba clean but not making enough progress, so I help jump start things by targeting specific areas, and then their Roomba cleaning is much more effective.

For instance, if we empty out a whole closet and get rid of a bunch of stuff, and then clear out a bunch of things on the kitchen table, the couch, and make some space in the living room so that there are places for things to go, then it's a lot easier to Roomba with less task overload.

Part of task overload comes when there are too many dependent tasks; you want to make dinner, but first you have to clean off the kitchen counters, which means you have to do dishes, but first you have to do A, B, C, etc. it's too much so you never get to make dinner.

I hope that folks are doing well, or at least, as well as can be as the pandemic goes on. In some of the various online groups I'm a member of, I've seen people starting to post about how the quarantine/isolation/working from home, and general trauma/mental fatigue, is making it harder for them to keep up on things.

What I want to say is, you're not alone. Brain fog, fatigue, and overwhelm are all common symptoms of trauma, and that's what many of us are dealing with.

I am open to offering some online support services if that is of help to anyone looking for assistance. I know that vaccines are rolling out but it's taking time, and I know that sometimes it can just help to process out what you're dealing with and have someone on hand to talk through it. I've helped people with really short consultations--like a five minute FB chat or phone call to help them get through just one task that they've been procrastinating, like dealing with a bill or emailing someone.

And I've also helped people work through going through all of their stuff to prepare for a move and strategize the storage solutions to use going forward.

Feel free to message me if you want to talk about what kind of support you need and we can figure out a fee structure that works, depending on if you just want chat support, phone calls, video calls, etc. If it's just one task of 5-10 minutes, my "One Task" service is $5.

I wish you all health and safety.
