Organize by Design

People become hoarders for different reasons — but the effect is the same: they feel trapped and unable to let go of items, including many that most people would think meaningless like empty soda cans and old pizza boxes. Read more about my experiences working with hoarders on my blog.

One of the best things about working on Hoarders on A&E is getting to know the workers at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.
While the Organize by Design team helps lead organizer Cory Chalmers declutter behind the scenes, the 1-800 guys get rid of bags and bags AND BAGS of garbage as well as lifting and tossing all sorts of heavy stuff. Couldn't do the work without them.

Want to see how hard they work? Here's our latest episode:

While I learned a lot during my first experience as back-up organizer on Hoarders on A&E in 2015, my second time on the show was memorable for two other reasons:

First, I was reunited with lead organizer Cory Chalmers who is a great mentor and helped us better understand the kind of help hoarders need.

And second, I was able to work side-by-side with my daughter Anjali Gill, whose interaction with the young children on the show made me a proud mama.

Organize by Design was once again selected as the back-up organizing team for an episode of Hoarders on A&E. In episode 5, we helped Shannon — a single-mother living in a homeless shelter — declutter her Ogden home. Now, she can live safely with her three children. Take a look at the episode and see why this work is so rewarding. http://www.aetv.com/shows/hoarders/season-9/episode-5

Here is an interesting article about Executive Function --- aka the social, time management and organization skills that elementary children need to be successful.

For those who still struggle with those skills after high school, my coaching can help.

Training teachers how identify executive functioning issues in kids is helping to create opportunities for teaching kids skills that lead to better lives.
