By the way, I need help motivating my highly UNorganized hubby to at least maintain some order around him! He groans every time I suggest we clean up the garage or a closet or something! Any suggestions for this in a future show would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Daria and Maja!!!

GREAT GREAT show Daria… and I will add Maja’s mantra to my own…

Keep the podcasts coming!!!! I’m hooked!!!! :o)

Left - to -Right, Top to Bottom, Focus , Focus! FOCUS! It is a wonderful mantra! I have been a client of Maja’s for several months now, and LOVE the results ! And the L-R, T-B FFF Mantra works, too! Whenever you are tackling a job that feels challenging (okay, insurmountable!) just remember the mantra and start at the left side of the room (shelf, closet, whatever!) , then work top-to bottom. It is so utterly simple that it is almost hard to believe that it works, but it does.
The great thing about Maja, is she can help you in person, or long distance. I live several hours away from her, and benefit greatly from the daily service she offers. I encourage anyone who is interested to enter this contest- Maja is a dream to work with. Non-judgemental, kind, energetic, cheerful- she’s the full-meal-deal !
Let me tell you a little about my experience with Maja. When I first wanted to hire her, I thought that she should know what she was getting into. So I photographed all the rooms in my home that I was struggling with ( which was most of ‘em) , and emailed them to her. I wondered if she could make a dent, and when she asked me what I wanted out of the experience, my number one goal was “Permanent Change’” . I didn’t want to have her come in and ‘hit it’ with me, get things all nice and neat, but then find myself back in the same spot in just a few weeks like all the other organizational methods, books, classes etc that I had tried did. I mean, anyone can organize stuff with another body to help, right? But I wanted SKILLS , baby!
Well, Maja came and worked with me one weekend and helped me to get started. She taught me the mantra and how to implement it, along with a few other simple, effective skills ( don’t want to give away ALL her secrets ) and then we did the phone coaching for follow-up . The accountability of that might seem silly ( I’m a grown woman after all) but it really made the difference for me, and in only 5-10 minutes a day !
A couple of months later, we did another weekend, and now I use her daily phone coaching service as needed.
Its been a few months, and last week I ran across the photos I had taken “Before” , and was completely stunned by the difference! Seriously, it was overwhelming just LOOKING at them! No wonder I felt guilty, tired, lazy and ineffective .
Now, thanks to Maja’s coaching, those same rooms are now a pleasure to walk into, my home feels like the haven I always wanted it to be, and I feel so amazing about my life! Its like a weight has been lifted off me. I have way, WAAaaaay! more free time now that I have implemented what we affectionately refer to as “Maja-sizing”, and my house is clean and orderly with (shock ! ) less effort. Working with Maja has been a tremendous, life-altering experience. I recommend her wholeheartedly, and wish the best of luck to everyone who enters. You’ll be glad you did!
