My eyebrows were the first indication that I needed professional help. For several years, I had done the plucking thing with limited success… Then someone told me how they had their brows waxed in a salon. I tried it. I liked it. It simplified one aspect of my life.

I spotted an interesting article in the Sunday paper about how the Brazilian court said employees answering emails after work hours are eligible for overtime… I tell clients all the time (and I practice it myself) to decide what time you stop working each day.

At work, a manager in another department recently sent me an email to ask how she could make sure her staff complied with a new clean desk and office policy she was writing.

Ah summer is just around the corner, and with summer comes summer vacations. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: everyone needs a vacation! That is especially true for bosses. But many of them let work creep into their holiday, and that simply won’t do.
I’m Janice Marie Simon, The Clutter Princess. I’ve been a Professional Organizer since 2001, and I love every minute of it.
It’s gratifying to help people streamline and rediscover their lives. When I arrive at a client’s door, I can see how stressed out he or she is, but by the end of our time together, I can see how much better they feel. That makes me happy.
No matter where you came from, no matter what you’ve learned in the past, no matter how crazy and busy your life is, you can lead a more organized life if you want it. I'm here to help you reign over clutter!
