Q: How much time will it take?
A: That very much depends on the client and the space. Factors include; if they are quick at making decisions to keep, donate, or discard each item, like to share stories about the items we’re working through, and how many items are in the space all together. We will go through everything in that space. I will say it takes longer to do it right, it will be messier, before it gets better, but it’s worth knowing the things you are keeping are what you use, love and want to take up space in your home. The rest is clutter that isn't serving you at all in your season of life.
