What Started Martha's Journey?

Hello! I am Jess, your professional organizer! I recently discovered my passion for organizing while completing my Bachelor's Degree in Human Resource Management in 2019. After completing a lot of my own self-study, I realized that most of what I studied has always been a part of my life. I spent a lot of time with my grandmother when I was a child. She would always keep a very tidy house herself and had sometimes cleaned the homes of others as side work. I enjoyed her way of doing things and how she felt about quality work. It felt wonderful helping people become happier while helping to create joy in a space where there was once a mess.  The weight that is felt from excessive clutter or hoarding in one's life can create anxiety, depression & many other health-related issues. I have been effectively using my own techniques with a sprinkle of others such as; Mel Robbins, Jen Sincero, and some other inspirational folks, to achieve my goals of creating a new career & lifestyle. These authors/coaches gave me extra insight into what was creating my stress and depression. How not living life to my full potential really added a ball & chain feel that was endless. I would wake up and dread the hours ahead of me on the hamster wheel of life. Until I started Not Today Martha. My real purpose was found.

During my experience I learned that some of the folks clutter in small ways; keeping a pair of shoes that we wore in a memorable race, an old Barbie collection, that isn't so much collected anymore & other items that most wouldn't think were clutter but ends up in a tote "stored for later." We keep holding onto these items whether it be for emotional reasons, we have formed a habit to collect, or for fear of lack/loss of material items.  The knowledge I have gained has given me a strong foundation for my goals and has given me a plan to keep me going in the direction to achieve them.  I have successfully decluttered some pretty radical projects for clients that have been on a limited budget.  Let's be real, most of my clients want to save money, and paying to declutter seems unnecessary. However, the relief I have seen from freeing up that spare room to enjoy is priceless.  Like a room rebirth!  Although it may seem like a large task to manage alone, it becomes a much lighter task with my guidance, my passion for seeing things in order, and my internal drive to get the job done. My professional organizing services coupled with your personalized goal coaching plan will give you freedom. I have a proven record of having highly efficient organizational skills to manage all types of decluttering projects effectively. I am always excited about helping others to handle plans to achieve a clutter-free lifestyle and left with a plan to keep it that way!
