Do you like working in your office?
You're realizing that office doesn't feel good to you - physically or emotionally.
If you could pinpoint the problem, you would fix it. Things feel out of whack and it's affecting your business. Most of the time you can ignore it, but sometimes your space looks and feels too chaotic to get anything done.
You feel embarassed that you don't have it under control. It helps that you don't have clients visiting frequently, but you don't know how to get it to work.
The Big Picture
For all of the benefits of working for yourself, you've found that you just can't see your own blind spots. Including in your workspace. It's hard to get perspective on what's going on to fix it.
If you want to enjoy your workspace and to take your business to the next level, the best thing to do is look at how your business operates.
When you take an honest look at issues like paper flow, clutter, and overall structure, you gain clarity about what you can improve about the quality of your work, and also the quality of your life. Perhaps that's the very reason you started a business in the first place.
I've had the honor of working with small business owners from a wide variety of industries. The one thing they have in common: they work at home, alone.
Over the years, I've read lots of books on organizing. So I've learned about lots of sensible systems that I would enthusiastically pursue for about a week before I'd drop back into my default disorganization mode.
Your approach is absolutely original in its emphasis on the underlying patterns and issues involved in the unique problems each of us has with "getting it together" when it comes to organizing our offices and ourselves. About a month later, my new behaviors are sticking! And I expect them to stick around a lot longer because I'm not experiencing that sense I've always had in the past of waiting for everything to disintegrate around me as I immediately return to my old way of doing things.
The personal attention to how to actually make my office work for me did the trick!

Introducing:
Inspired Home Office 4-week Intensive
A four-week program where YOU are the main topic and our goal is to mend your working environment so you feel completely supported and clear while working.
Have you ever wished that they had taught organization skills in school? The 4-week Intensive will help you:
- Identify your unique work style
- Clear out objects that are keeping you stuck
- Adjust your workspace to improve productivity and flow
- Invite only those things that will support your work style
99.9% of the time, you will spend no additional money on these changes since they're based in self-knowledge rather than "buying solutions" at Office Big Box.
It seemed very weird to me that anyone could help me declutter and redesign my office over the phone!
So, I was pretty dubious about taking Jennifer's Inspired Home Office teleclasses. At the same time, there were things about my office that just weren't working for me. Since I hadn't been able to solve those problems on my own, I decided to give her a try. Am I glad I did!
When she says your office can be an extension of your body, believe it. Everything I need is at my fingertips; my reference books are right where I can reach them; and the space just works in ways it didn't before.
Thanks to Jen, I look forward to coming into my office in the morning now!

What's included?
The topics we cover are customized to address the specific difficulties you're experiencing and can include:
- How to work though the visible clutter on your desk so that it goes away for good.
- The impact that old storage has on your business and creativity.
- Ways to streamline your work tasks so that you don't have to think about them.
- How to customize your workspace so that you feel physically comfortable while working.
- The kinds of organizing systems will make your work more fun and productive.
- The best places to put the things you need and how to store them so you can find them again.
- How changing the layout and look of your space can bring creativity and profit back into your work.
No matter what issues you're facing, they can be solved. My approach is to adjust your space to meet your needs, rather than trying to twist you into adopting uncomfortable habits that fizzle in a few weeks. Without whip-cracking or wasting time on busywork, I help you understand your natural organizing style so that order comes easily.
Working with you was a beautiful combination of concrete info, practical advice, and inspiring tips.
I have further to go, but I am realizing that beauty is important. Also that organization is about my needs, how I need it in order to be functional; organization is not about my mother-in-law's ideas of how it's supposed to look.
You helped me figure out my work style, and to honor it. Working with you helped me to relax into honoring my needs and who I am.
You had a beautiful balance of structure and flexibility. You have a lovely manner that encourages people to be honest, because they know that you are there to support them, to let them know they are not alone and are not bad, and to gently show them ways that they can have happier, more peaceful, more inspired lives.

The 4-week Intensive isn't a quick fix. Instead, it gives you the opportunity to recognize you truly need. Unpon this awareness, you can then build systems that create stability and growth for you and your business.
How it works
We'll meet every week by phone for 75 minutes to identify your biggest problem areas and define what customized solutions will work for you.
We'll discuss your progress since the last call and address specific questions that came up for you. At the end of each call, you'll identify the next steps you will achieve for the next call.
Meeting 1: Our first meeting will identify primary problems areas and set goals that you'll work on for the rest of the month. You'll think about yourself, your space, and your business in completely new ways.
Meeting 2: We'll explore your unique work style and how to make it work in your organizing.
Meeting 3: Together, we'll examine your workspace and discuss how intentional layout increases productivity and improve flow.
Meeting 4: Your wrap-up session takes stock of your accomplishments and helps you identify your next steps to keep you in flow.
We keep it to 4 weeks so that you get maximum visible results in a short period of time.
What you get
- Four 75-minute phone sessions over 30 days that address your specific challenges and create unique solutions
- A list of specific action steps that you'll take during the 4 week intensive
- Additional assignments and worksheets, as needed
- Unlimited email support
- A wrap-up session that includes ideas for future actions
If you would like have more clear space, an effective workspace, and excitement that started your business in the first place, all you have to do is begin. The knowledge and support are here for you to lean into.
What it costs
Time.
You must be ready to work on your space for at least an hour and a half each week, in addition to our weekly meetings. This is the best way to get results.
Money.
Budget: While there is no requirement to purchase additional furnishings, organizing supplies, or decorative embellishments, you may find that allowing yourself a budget will create spaciousness in your planning (even if you don't use any of it).
Program fees: This is a brand-new offer, so I'm offering the 4-week intensive at a special rate of $340 if you sign up by Halloween 2008. On November 1, the price will increase to $380.
After only two short sessions, I have my entire desk cleared and am able to keep it that way. My office is working for me, not the other way around.
Jen's gentle way of encouraging me forward without cracking the whip makes it easy for me to find my way organically through this maze that I call my workspace. She provides a safe space to work through all the scary parts of dealing with the mess that has kept me stuck for so long.
We even have some great laughs along the way!! Can't wait to see the final result. Thanks Jen - you're simply awesome.
