“Verri Organized is exactly what I needed to begin to view my life differently and make positive changes in the right direction. I started working with Francesca around the same time as I was embarking on a complete redo of my home. She made me realize that holding on to ‘stuff’ that is no longer relevant to one’s life because it may be useful someday, or is too painful to sort through, or because it brings back memories of happy times, is really ‘mind clutter’ as well. She imparted these lessons with absolutely no judgment, with empathy and an extremely realistic attitude.
The realization that I have gotten through a task that has been on my ‘to do’ list for five years brings me an immense sense of accomplishment. My children have also embarked on sorting through their prized possessions with a sense of excitement and believe it or not, look forward to Francesca’s visits! This process of streamlining my life by letting go of what doesn’t work and organizing what does is making me see all the possibilities ahead. Thank you, Verri Organized! I couldn’t have done it without you.” Esha, Acton, MA
“I’ve been working on my office and it’s amazing what a difference some organization has made! I feel like a professional now. Things actually get put away because I know where they go. Things take me half the time now because I know where things are supposed to be (and they are actually THERE when I go to look for them!). I definitely feel lighter but more than that I feel much CLEARER! It is easier to focus on what I am doing and what needs to get done in my job. Now I’m not spending so many cycles looking for things and being drained by the piles of “stuff” around me and wondering what I’m missing and what’s in the piles that might “blow up” on me (i.e. late fees from the missed bills, missing orders and calls from the stuff that is on the bottom of the pile). Thank you Francesca!” Kathy, Northboro, MA
“The day you left my reorganized house I absolutely felt lighter and more in control of my space and my life. You flew to Chicago and we organized my condo top to bottom, working around out-of-town family guests and my active work and social schedule. It was well worth the time and I could not have done it as easily by myself.
I will never return to the chaos of before because now I have systems in place to help me stay organized. When the paper piles starts to grow, I know just how to remedy the problem? I file or shred! Everything has a place! And being able to see what I own helps me focus on and appreciate how much I do have. In an odd way, getting organized has helped me count my blessings! So while I might have been able to do this on my own (or not!), and could have hired someone in Chicago to do this, it was worth it to me to fly in someone I trust, and someone I knew would do the job exceedingly well” Kimberly, Chicago,IL
“I never would have thought that how my office furniture was positioned would affect how I did my work and how well (or not so well) organized I was! My new office space needed help and I could feel it but didn’t know what needed to be done. Verri Organized did! Francesca has a knack for spatial planning and for conveying the importance of best utilizing space for productive results. She came, she saw, she moved. In no time, my claustrophobic-feeling space was open and welcoming. Dare I say, I like being at work now and feel more powerful and productive in my space. Thank you Francesca!” Daniella, Office Manager, NYR Organic, Concord, MA
“Thanks to Francesca, I am confident inviting clients, friends and family members into my office/living space. Before Francesca’s intervention, the mere thought of going into my space had me feeling anxious, stressed and suffocated, and I was not confident having visitors of any kind in there. In fact, it was embarrassing to have Francesca see how I was living my life. I had accumulated so much “stuff” because I simply did not know how to let go of things. Remarkably, I was not getting rid of anything and was still trying to fit even more stuff in my space. Francesca helped me see that it was okay and actually healthy to let go of things, that taking shelves off the wall opened up the room and took the metaphorical weight off my shoulders, relocating collectibles and trinkets uncluttered my mind and room, throwing away and donating items lightened my load, and rearranging the furniture in my space improved its functionality as well as my own. It is hard to put into words what is profoundly emotional, but without Francesca’s compassion, understanding, motivation and professionalism, I would still be sitting in the middle of my floor clueless as to how to help my business and myself. What she does for you, your business, your family, or your personal life, is nothing short of amazing.” Alexandra, Concord, MA
“Francesca, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the coaching you provided. The use of your time and skills has again had a positive impact on my life! I feel like I have regained some control over my life, time and brain!” Peter, Westford
“Verri Organized helped me start a new job in a large work space that had been neglected and disorganized for many years. I was new on the job and already overwhelmed by the new systems to learn, and all of the tasks of the job. Francesca helped me settle in by totally de-cluttering and organizing the years of accumulated stuff throughout the offices and storage spaces. She did exactly what I needed her to do and would have done myself if I had the time. She was also able to work with staff members who did not have organized work spaces or systems in place to train them on how to make their work spaces conducive to more efficient work flow. I was “Verri” impressed and can’t wait to have Francesca back to work on more projects!” Karen, Wellesley College
“Verri Organized pays for itself in just months! For many years, buying MORE was my solution to everything. Trying to locate lost items, or remember past purchases was totally overwhelming. So I continued to buy items — accumulating duplicates and triplicates of clothes, food items (which went to waste), and accessories. Since my sessions with Francesca, I have a clear picture of what I own and where things are located, and I have STOPPED the destructive cycle of over-buying. It’s better for the planet and MUCH better for my budget. I have started to add up the cost of what I HAVEN’T BOUGHT since getting organized, and the savings are astonishing!” Marie
“Verri Organized is the best investment I’ve ever made! As a full-time mother of 2 young children, my clutter and disorganization was standing between me and what I really wanted to accomplish and I was setting a poor example for my kids. I had tried many “band aids” and organizing tricks and even other organizers, but nothing ever stuck. Thankfully, I came across Verri Organized.
Francesca was different. She was able to get to the root of the problem very quickly and show me step-by-step how to turn it all around. She taught me how to think differently, and helped me change years of unproductive habits — all with compassion, kindness and good humor. A basement that had been neglected for years was turned into a wonderful play area, and my cluttered, inefficient home office became an orderly sanctuary. I even gained an entire room on the main floor of my house!
I started out wanting to gain space in my home, but what I really gained was space in my brain. Now I can use my mind to think about the things that really matter, instead of wasting valuable energy trying to wade my way through the mess.
Best of all, my organized home has given my kids much more independence. Now that they understand where to find their things, they are more responsible for their own coats, hats, toys and clothes… and even get their own breakfast!
I couldn’t be happier with the systems that Francesca helped me create. I can’t wait to have her work with my kids to create similar systems in their closets and bedrooms. The ability to create a restful, organized environment is an absolutely essential life skill, and one that has been well worth investing the time and money to learn, for them and for me! Thank you Francesca!” Laura
“Francesca, you have changed my life!! Before I met you my home office looked like a scene from “The Wizard of Oz”. It looked as if this room had been uprooted, spun around in the air several times and then simply dropped in place. It was an eyesore and a dreary place to work. There were days I actually set up work someplace else to avoid the disarray, the clutter and the accumulation of three generations of “stuff”. The task of sorting through became more and more overwhelming and daunting, day by day. The most embarrassing part for me was actually allowing an “outsider” to enter the room.
In a methodical and sensible manner, session by session, we did it! We both took a deep breath; you assured and reassured me in your calm and positive voice that it could be done and you put your marvelous plan into place. What I have now is a vibrant, full-of-energy, void-of-any-clutter office that beckons me to work productively every moment. The energy just “flows”. I never, ever could have done this without your help, determination, perseverance, coaching, kind spirit, and encouragement. Your energy is contagious as now each day I begin with the tools you provided to me. I have even expanded those skills and have started doing the same in other areas of my home. You are like a pearl in the ocean, Francesca. I would recommend your services to anyone without hesitation!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Linda, Arlington, MA
“I was VERRI unorganized before I met Francesca. Francesca was undaunted. She helped me rethink my office and worked with me, side by side, on the make-over. I was amazed by Francesca’s understanding of the work flow and her ability to easily organize my space to accomplish my professional goals. Francesca’s intuitive understanding of my needs, coupled with her practical, no-nonsense approach to organizing made what should have been a daunting project, manageable and fun. When my husband started his electrical contracting business and moved it in-house, we were able to use the systems Francesca had put in place to get him up and running without much fuss. Whenever I have an organizing project around my house, I always ask myself, “what would Francesca do?” As you might guess, the job gets done.” Martha, Arlington, MA
“ Verri Organized saved my business! My systems were failing; I couldn’t get caught up with clearing the papers – they were everywhere; and I didn’t know where to start in getting organized. My business was not growing and I was losing money. I contacted Verri Organized and Francesca instantly impressed me. She was empathetic and straightforward on what needed to be done to get my business back to being successful. She worked with me to create a filing system that works perfectly! She also provided me with valuable tips and skills on staying organized so the systems we set up are still running, still efficient and have increased my productivity 10-fold! I even hired her to help with my children’s play room. Needless to say, the kids now have a home for all of their toys and I have gained more space in my home! Thank you Francesca!” Jean, Bedford, MA
“Francesca had an uncanny ability to be able to get to the root cause of our disorganization. She worked with me, my wife, and our two children in our kitchen, storage room, playroom, and my work room; she motivated us to let go of what we didn’t need, or didn’t use and created better systems to make our everyday routines simple. We now spend less time and energy on finding what was misplaced because everything has a home! And my children benefited as well. I love that they have a better sense, now, of what they “need”. After Francesca completed the playroom project with my daughters, my oldest daughter said that it made her feel really good to put things in a bag and give it to children who don’t have enough toys. That lesson in itself was worth the investment!” Phil, Sudbury, MA
“Francesca was an enormous help in getting me organized. She was great about rolling up her sleeves and getting right to the areas in my home that needed the most organization. She made the process both fun and practical for everyday life. Now, two years later, I am still using her set-up to keep my kitchen organized! In the long run I feel I have saved myself a lot of time and money. Her system has streamlined my household tasks. Francesca was great to work with and I would happily recommend her to others who want a jump start in getting organized.” Sue, Winchester, MA
“Thank you for speaking to our mother’s group. We had a great night and it was a wonderful presentation. Lots of people have already begun purging! I personally have made two trips to the dump, and have 6 boxes of toys ready to donate next weekend.” Liz, Northboro, MA
“Thank you, Francesca, for your professionalism, tough love, and expertise. You turned our seemingly-impossible and chaotic projects into calm and satisfying endeavors.” Sarah, Medford, MA
“As a person who loves organization, but sometimes needs a little help getting the job done, Verri Organized was a perfect match. Francesca took the time to understand my needs, discuss my goals and visualize the possibilities of an uncluttered and organized space. Francesca provided the necessary motivation and plan to help create the most organized and useful space for me. I am very pleased with the results and will call on Verri Organized again for future projects!” Christine, Sudbury, MA
“About 10 years ago, my husband and I began keeping almost everything after he retired from the military. We had an enormous amount of clutter. My business, my husband’s business, and other reponsibilities we had were being swallowed by all of the “stuff” in our home. Francesca was absolutely the perfect professional to come in and help us. She took a look at the situation, created a plan of action immediately, and began to communicate that plan — tweaking it as needed. From there we moved forward. My husband was so impressed with her enthusiam, how much of a difference she made in one day to the storage area in the basement, and her many ideas for storage! You won’t believe the difference having Francesca in our home has made. We love her!” Jacky, Pepperell, MA
“The systems you set up in the children’s playroom are still in place even with the addition of another child! And the purging and organizing of the attic has been a god-send. I love that I can find my way through my storage area and easily get at my seasonal clothes and household decorations. My family has grown and my ability to keep things organized, thanks to your systems, has kept me sane! Thank you!” Susie, Winchester, MA
” I’m sure you’ve heard the lingo surrounding “wowing” your clients?. I’m officially “Wowed.” I walked into my office today and felt POUNDS lighter, and I know when we get the files taken care of in the next meeting, that effect will multiply several fold.
I was most impressed with the way you kept me, and you, highly productive at the same time, while also interacting with my assistant Ellen to make sure it was all working. At the other end of the scale I found it funny this afternoon when I looked in my desk and saw not one, not two, but THREE chap sticks all in the same place where you knew I’d find them – and same holds true for the pencils, pens, staples, hanging folders, etc.. Thank you!” Tim, Andover, MA
“Working with Francesca is like a breath of fresh air. She shows you how to keep your space organized, clutter free and efficient. It’s a great investment for anyone who wants to work faster and smarter.” Marisa, Sudbury, MA
