Lisa knew that her love for organization was unique, but she had no idea that organizing was a skill that could be learned.
Lisa’s aptitude for organization was evident as a child. She loved to organize her mother’s art supplies. Lisa knew that her love for organization was unique, but she had no idea that organizing was a skill that could be learned. She assumed you either had it or didn’t.
Lisa launched the blog Organized 365 because she thought it would be beneficial for search engine optimization (SEO), but she had no idea how to make money from it. She began writing about organization on her blog and 3 months later, Lisa became an in-home professional organizer who was paid to help individuals get organized. For 3 years, she has dabbled in home organizing and blogging.

In her first three years of business, Lisa had to get over a lot of limiting beliefs. One of them was that she was more valuable than her $15 rate to organize homes. So she changed her rate to $40. Then, for her second year, she charged $50 and added some people to the team. Five years later, when Lisa quit organizing, she was charging $75 an hour and she wasn’t even organizing the home, she was just making the arrangements. It was a big deal for Lisa to realize that, as a woman, she could make more money and steer clear of the mindset that she needed to keep her business small.
Lisa shares three tips for organizing
Lisa shares three tips for organizing. First, do a time study on how long it takes to do the housework – cleaning your house, doing the laundry, preparing meals, maintaining your vehicle, organizing your finances, or paying your bills. All these things take a significant amount of time. Second, start organizing by looking around at what you have and reorganizing it or putting it where you need it in the house. You can also buy specific organizers to help you. Lastly, you can either choose to be a maximalist or a minimalist; it makes no difference. It’s not the amount of stuff you have, it’s the right amount of stuff for you.
