By: Patricia Diesel, CPC How many times have you tried to talk yourself out of some- thing…all the while, knowing deep down inside, that it’s exactly what you really need? Such was the case with my client Barbara. She knew it was time…time to get support with her clutter and her life. You see, according to Barb, she was stuck for the very first time in her life, and she was scared. In her earlierl
ife, as a Business Analyst and Bank Vice President – inertia, dis- traction, procrastination, dread – all of those words meant nothing to her. They also meant nothing to her as a wife, mother, home- owner and world traveler. But suddenly, Barb found herself in uncharted territory – she was nearing a crisis point in her life and was unable to function. To quote Barbara – “I needed s ome t h i n g…s ome o n e…t o unblock me, and I needed iti
mmediately, whether I liked it or not!” So despite her growling, “I absolutely DO NOT NEED an Organizer,” Barb took the advice of her dear friend Jane, and con- tacted me. Now listen, don’t let that fool you – Barb was still reluctant. When we initially spoke, she did her rant and rave dance and expressed herself in a way that would lead you to believe that she was in no way in need of sup- port. When she was all finished ticking off the reasons why she didn’t need me, I gently asked her, “How is that working for you? And how can I help?” “Well, this is different” Barb said. She liked the fact that I saw through her defensiveness and did not find fault, or as she putsi
t, “give her Gestapo orders.” She also shared with me that she appreciated that I kept it simple and that I was truly interested in how I could get her organized – yes, even in spite of herself. We met at her pleasant, but clut- tered townhouse. All I initially asked of Barbara was not to put anything away or straighten up – I wanted my assessment to be as accurate as possible. Although Barb was concerned about what I may think, I assured her that this was in her best interest and there was absolutely no judgment on my part. And the rest as they say, is history… If you would like to find out what happened with Barbara and other clients that I have helped, you can do so by reading my new book: You can order your copy by emailing me at: keepitsimplenow@gmail.com.
