This package allows you to choose the two most important areas in your home and with the help of Turn Leaf Organizing–reorganize and revitalize the space in which you live. Almost everyone feels that gaining control of paperwork is a daunting task, so whether your home office is an entire room, a desk, or just a stack of papers on a chair, we’ll tame the paper and find a system that works for your lifestyle.
Our initial meeting will involve setting goals, envisioning the completed spaces, discussing your learning style/preferences and your lifestyle, and creating a Master Plan for each upcoming session. We will determine each household member’s role in the process, as well as how to best orchestrate the working sessions to be most efficient and effective.

OFFICE PACKAGE [3 sessions, up to 8 hours]
Office Package Includes: * Paper management: paper filing system & electronic filing system * File Purge and Reorganization * Records Retention Plan * Elisabeth's Ticker Desk-Top File Box * E-mail Management Plan * Physical Space/Aesthetics
Description: Whether you work in a small or large office, in a suite, a cubicle, or from the comfort of your home, your organizer will help create a work environment that inspires creativity, productivity and success. We will begin by analyzing what aspects of your office and your business practices are and are not currently working, prioritize the identified areas of need, then create unique solutions that are right for you, the professional. Visual learners need alternatives to traditional filing cabinets; kinesthetic learners need to physically handle incoming and outgoing documents; auditory learners can benefit from controlled background noise. We will analyze your workstation ergonomics, discuss standard practice for records retention (dependent upon your line of work), and tackle those piles and stacks of papers without a home. Finally, we will work to create electronic files that reflect your paper files, making it much easier to promptly put your fingers on the information you need, when you need it. If you desire a new view from behind your desk, we will add redesign to our task list. Finally, you will learn about the use of body doubles, accountability buddies and other strategies to maintain your new-found organization and to continue feeling inspired from nine-to-five.

TIME MANAGEMENT [3 sessions, up to 6 hours]
Time Management Package Includes: * Daily/Weekly Analysis * Calendar/Task List System * Goal Setting and Prioritization * Paper Elimination * Elisabeth's Time Management Workbook
Description: Everyone needs more than 24 hours in their day to complete the ever-growing To Do Lists we keep on our desks and in our minds. Turn Leaf organizers cannot add hours to your day, but we can add productivity to your hours. This package starts with an analysis of how you spend your time, both on and off the clock. You will keep a “time journal” for up to a week to capture a snapshot of how you are spending your time, from business meetings to travel time to weekend chores and social events. Once the log is completed, we will analyze it to determine how productive your hours and days truly are, and determine how you can better utilize your time.
Next, we will look at the daily, weekly and monthly calendars you are (or are not) using and determine the best method and materials to keep up with your schedule. There is not a single agenda book or software program out there that works for everyone, so we will explore together to find what fits your needs best. And if keeping up with a daily planner or agenda book is not a part of your current routine, we’ll devise a strategy to makes it an easy and convenient habit.
Setting goals and prioritizing daily tasks and weekly or monthly projects is another important piece to time management. Through the use of your daily agenda, To-Do Lists and long-term planning, we will create a system to ensure that each task you complete is moving you towards your goals, whether personal or professional.
Physical clutter often results in feeling mentally cluttered and overwhelmed, with “too much to do and no time to do it.” This package will involve spending time discussing how to eliminate paper in a manner that is comfortable and practical based upon your lifestyle and your needs, ultimately saving you time and space.
You will receive Elisabeth’s Time Management Workbook designed specifically to your needs, to assist you in maintaining the new time-saving skills, habits and strategies you and your organizer discovered.

ORGANIZATIONAL COACHING FOR STUDENTS [5 weekly, individual one-hour sessions]
Organizational Coaching for Kids Package Includes: * Study Skills * Time Management (project planning, Using a planner/calendar) * Organizing Study Space and Bedroom * School Supply/Backpack Organization * Elisabeth's Mobile Coursework File Box
Description: As the focus in middle school and high school often shifts to homework, studying and grade point averages, many students often find themselves struggling to keep up with the increasing demands placed upon them. As more independence is given, less guidance is available regarding when to study, how best to study, and how to juggle the demands of academic, social, and extracurricular opportunities. Organizational Coaching is beneficial to all students, especially to those with attention-deficits and/or learning disabilities, and can provide students with the tools and self-confidence needed to find success during these difficult teenage years.
Each weekly session targets a specific skill: space management, material organization, time management and study skills. The initial session will help determine the student’s strengths and areas of need, learning style and sensory preferences. Using this information, coaching will assist the student in setting up systems best suited to him/her, in order to manage school materials and study space, to prioritize homework assignments, long-term projects and extracurricular activities, and to develop study skills that will strengthen the student’s executive functioning skills.
The student will create and set-up their own mobile file box, to manage and store paperwork from current and previous academic courses, which will prepare the student for future paper management requirements in college and beyond.
