Organizing & Decluttering

Sometimes a life change such as moving, getting married, having a baby, a new job, illness, injury, or a death in the family can throw your orderly life into chaos.

Sometimes ADHD or other neurodivergence gets in the way of maintaining a serene, optimal environment. 

And sometimes, there’s just a desire to inventory what you’ve accumulated and make some decisions to streamline or revitalize your space.

Matter of Heart Organizing, LLC will work with your goals to create or restore the organizational level that brings you peace of mind & heart. With over twenty years of experience with diverse clientele, we will met you where you’re at, and make a plan that works best for you.

All home and office projects begin with a free consultation to access your needs and goals and includes the formulation of an action plan which we'll implement in one or more subsequent sessions.  We will sort, assess, organize, and help with implementing any needed products and recycling, donation or discarding.

Personalized Services for Home & Small Business

This is where Matter of Heart Organizing’s fifteen years of executive-level administrative assistance experience comes into play.

For some, getting organized is more about finding ways to tackle or manage unruly projects, ongoing tasks or paperwork. Matter of Heart Organizing has assisted many busy professionals, entrepeneurs, working artists and performers to stay on top of what needs to get done, so they can prioritize more enjoyable or bigger picture tasks. Here are a few of the items Matter of Heart Organizing can help with either virtually, in-person or a hybrid:

Filing Systems

Create, maintain and purge both paper and virtual files. Help with systems to keep pertinent data findable as needed. Clean up paper & electronic clutter and  keep it from coming back.

Medical Claim Management

We can assist or manage medical claim processing. A prolonged illness or other health care needs can require an extended period of claim submission & tracking, and communication with providers and insurance companies, and at times when you’re not feeling your best. We can take the headache out of the process.

Income & Expense Tacking

We have a lot of experience tracking and recording annual income and expenses for artisits, performers, writers, entertainment lawyers and independent gig workers. Take the hassle out of tracking advertising, meal, and supply expenses and be prepared to file your taxes early each year.

Time & Project Management/Goal Setting

Let us help you prioritize and simplifying your schedule. Sometimes having someone to brainstorm with, and help you stay accountable can make or break a bigger vision of accomplishment.

We can help you find the best system to coordinate special events like a family reunion, wedding or job search.  We can decide together which actions you can delegate to us to stay on top of unruly projects and deadlines.

Estate Clearance Testimonial

"Elizabeth's services were superb! As Executor, I was charged with clearing out a packed three-bedroom estate apartment. Elizabeth took complete control and responsibility for clearing out the furniture and all personal property. She carried out all aspects of the process, including selling, donating and recycling property, packing family archives and coordinating moves to storage, relocation, and distribution among relatives. She also managed the estate’s outstanding bills, closed accounts and changed addresses. In addition, she prepared excellent records documenting inventory, income, expense and all other details of the project.

Elizabeth has an amazing talent for approaching each task in a very systematic and organized fashion, working efficiently to complete each stage of the process within the deadlines imposed. I had complete trust in Elizabeth’s ability to get the job done. She demonstrated integrity and excellent judgment in approaching all tasks, and was a pleasure to work with.”
