Seminars

Need help getting organized, selling your home or downsizing? Why not join us for one of the many classes we offer:

Organizing Your Work Space - Learn how to re-organize your office space for more efficient use. Understand the basic principles of effective filing systems, and how to customize your system for your needs. Develop systems for purging and maintaining paper and electronic information, and learn tips for managing your e-mail and voice mail more efficiently.

This workshop is useful for almost anyone, and can be effectively incorporated into an “Office Clean Up Day.”

Managing Your Time and Balancing Your Life - We all have the same amount of time every day - how do some people manage to use it more effectively than others? How do they balance the demands of others with their own needs, get everything done and still have time for themselves? You too can make time work for you, become more productive and effective than you may have thought possible, and still have space for a personal life!

Procrastination Prevention - Most of us procrastinate a bit at one time or another - but unchecked it can lead to a stressful life full of crises and disorganization. In this workshop you can learn how to identify your procrastination problems, and some tips and tricks for getting you past that stage and into productive and timely activity.

De-Cluttering Your Space and Time - Develop an understanding of why we collect the clutter we do, and how to learn to live (relatively) clutter free. Learn the basic principles of organizing, applicable to any area of your life. Examine your own time management systems and learn ways to make them more effective and easier to use. Time permitting, organizing specific areas of office or home will be included.

Home Paper Management - The average household generates a quantity of paper very similar to a small business. If you do not have easy, effective systems in place to keep that information under control, you can very easily drown! Learn the joy of being able to find what you need, when you need it. Amaze your accountant (or yourself!) at tax time with your orderly and quickly assembled records!

Downsizing - The kids have moved out, you’ve simplified your life. Moving to a less spacious home requires a change in lifestyle, but planning makes the transition far more seamless.

Preparing your home for resale - Staging is the process of preparing any home for sale, regardless of price or location. First impressions are important especially when selling. This course will help you transform your home into a buyer’s dream.

Inspired Spaces - Does your home say “Welcome” when you walk through the door? Rejuvenate yourself by inexpensively rejuvenating your home, using pieces that you may already have. Learn the effects of light and colour as well.

Organizing 101 for the School Year - Clutter is inevitable. Especially during the school year when new stuff makes a daily appearance. The key is to find some clutter-busting solutions to help you get organized once and for all. Learn how to keep kids organized between September and June.

Organizing 101 for Students - Lost your homework again? Can you find the floor in your room? Learn some tips and tricks on how to reclaim your space and put new effective systems in place that work for you.

Time Management for Students - Between school, job, homework, sports, chores, and friends, there doesn’t seem to be enough time. Learn some tips and tricks on how to manage your time.

Organizing & Decluttering Your Space - When organizing anything, the golden rule is to give whatever is disorganized a home and create a system to get it there regularly. We will try to find a system that works for you.

Taming Your Closet - Don’t think of this task as “organizing your closet". Think of this as “discovering the boutique within!” At a boutique, you know right where to go for say the skirts — you can organize your closet like that too!

Time Management - Not enough hours in the day? Take control over your time and environment to reduce the stresses of life. To be successful, goals must be identified, priorities clarified and realistic schedules established.
