Description
The "Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing Your Home Office" provides you with an ultra-simple process, creative strategies and clear instructions with LOTS of examples and over 50 photos featuring real home offices - not offices staged for a book.
This guide features a warm and personal writing style and easy-to-read page layout. It's like having Ariane right there with you to teach you HOW to create your own organizing systems that FIT you.
She doesn't tell you what to do and ask you to conform to her idea of what works. Instead she gives you the principles and strategies that empower you to become your own professional organizer and make decisions more easily!
What Professional Business Women who Work from Home are Saying
"I wanted to express how amazing your content and delivery was today on your class!!!!! There are multitudes of Professional Organizers out there who have valuable tips on how to execute an organizing task, however I have never heard a Coach or "Teacher" give so much valuable information on what leads up to truly organizing and simplifying your life. These are the true strategies that will allow an ADDer,as well as anyone to design a solution, rather than just organize to be neat.
It was so above & beyond all the typical information out there. I could go on and on...I just had to congratulate you on proving [once again] what sets you apart from other Coaches and Professional Organizers. Thank you for sharing and putting your whole heart into this, it really shows!"

"After being away from my career for years due to family illness caregiving, I had to start over. With piles resembling "Mount Everest" and exploding file cabinets, I was overwhelmed with disorganization. Thanks to Ariane's outstanding organizing manual, I learned how to unclutter my office and my life! Her systems are efficient and easy to implement. Through her well-written inspiring book, I was able to understand my own organization obstacles and change them. This book is more than worth every penny, it's a goldmine!"
- Terry Lubotsky "training consultant"

I've read them all! You name the book & I most likely have read & own every organization book you can name. This book is my favorite because it helped me solve a problem that I've been struggling with for many years. I work from home, so my home office is a very important part of my life....I'm also a mother of 5 children.... I have been living in this home for over 13 years & struggled with this problem for most of the time we have lived here, but after reading this book & finding the right supplies/office furniture, my office is working like a dream!!
"I have tried so many things to make it work. I can't even describe how much better it feels to sit down to work now. I used to procrastinate so much about getting my work done & I'm sure it was because of my work environment. It feels so good to walk into my office now!! I love it!!"

Organizing on a Budget?
All the offices shown in this book were organized and designed with budgets of less than one hundred dollars for supplies. Ariane demonstrates how to use and repurpose products you already own and how to creatively repurpose products that weren't originally intended for offices!
BEFORE
This mom with ADD was running a home business, settling 2 estates, and running several family foundations, but her home office was not working for her.
AFTER
Just rearranging the furniture made a huge difference. We set up a few simple systems and made it an inviting, productive workspace where everything has a home and is easy to find.

I will definitely recommend it to all my clients who struggle with organizing their offices. It is an easy read and chock full of valuable insight and information. It is very easy to understand and then implement changes you need to make in order to free yourself from clutter and disorganization."

"Ariane offers practical advice that can easily be adapted depending on your space. I have recommended this e-book to my clients and those who invest in it, love it!"
- Dr. Amie Ragan, Psychologist
"It is a masterful work. Not just the content, but the look and feel. Books about organization abound. But the "Neat & Simple Guide to Organizing Your Office" is different. It covers the necessary "what to organize and how to organize", and does so in a comprehensive, useful, and delightful way. But, perhaps most useful is the author's treatment of what prevents people from organizing and how they can move beyond the impediments to reap the rewards of full and beneficial organization. I highly recommend this book and will promote it to my customers!"
- Paul Stout, President, Mrs. A's Corporation
"This book is a great guide for anyone who wants to organize their office. The day-by-day guide is a great plan for anyone who wants to start today. The tips, resources and reflective questions to ask yourself are great ways to get started and get organized for good. Bravo!"

"I'm a Health & Nutrition Counselor and Ariane's organizing expertise changed my life! As a new business owner I had to start from scratch, de-cluttering my old life to create an efficient, beautiful workspace with the intention of success. Ariane did that and more. Her vision, patience, methodology and concepts that she brought to the project will be with me always as I grow. I know I will utilize her wealth of knowledge on an on-going basis. Thank You Ariane!!"
- Stephanie Solaris, Martinsville, NJ
" As owner of a PR business, my home office was getting interference from my personal life and my storage and filing systems were cluttered. With Ariane's help, I was able to transform my office into a neat, non-stressful place where I can now concentrate. Her storage solutions and methods were easy to implement. In fact, I am keeping up with everything that comes in and goes out. Once you learn, it's quite easy.
- Maureen Murray, Morris Plains, NJ
"I've worked with organizers in the past, but Ariane is different. She doesn't impose a one-size-fits-all organizational stategy, but shows you how to develop one tailored to who you are and how you work. Ariane is not only interested in getting you organized, but in making sure that you have a system that helps you to stay organized. With her help, I'm more productive than I've been in years!
- R. D., Photographer
"Ariane is amazing. I am a chronic disorganizer - particularly with paper. She was able to give me simple and effective ways to to keep track of everything. What I loved best was how she listened to me and then worked out an organizing plan that was tailored to my needs. 6 months later and I am still using her techniques and no longer drowning in paper."
- Kim Okochi, Montclair, NJ
"Wow! I just read this book and I am beyond impressed. ... The author has a very gentle way of exploring the underlying reasons why we struggle with organizing everything around us. ... she provided a kind of spiritual, organizing awakening in me that I have been able to maintain (almost always!) She even inspired me to start my own business!...
- Alma Schneider, LCSW, Take Back the Kitchen
"This book is so well written...clear, engaging and very human. I never thought I'd find a how-to book on organizing an interesting read, but this one is. It's because this is actually a book about making fundamental life changes, which can only come from a deep level of self-awareness."
- Debbie R
