Don’t React to Your Clutter! Respond to It!
The difference between a response and a reaction has been analyzed exhaustively over the years and is a keynote topic for discussion from bedrooms to boardrooms.

FREE PHONE MEETING
Let's talk! Organizational assistance begins first with getting to know the person, not just looking at the task at hand. We offer our clients a FREE “getting to know you” phone meeting allowing us to better understand the problem or challenge you are facing. The information we gather during our 5-10 minute phone meeting, allows us to prepare for a 90-minute onsite initial consultation with you.
What better way is there to determine if working with an organizer is good for you than by trying it out?
INITIAL CONSULTATION
The organization professionals at Your Life Less Messy believe the best way to demonstrate the value and benefit of working with a professional organizer is to actually spend time working with one! During our 90-minute initial consultation, we spend 30 minutes evaluating the project/task based on the goals and objectives you outlined during the “getting to know you” phone meeting. We also use this time to determine your availability to work with us. Then, we roll up our sleeves and get to work!
Starting with a small project of your choosing, we work together for 60 minutes, providing guidance and instruction as we begin to organize. This process allows you to better grasp what it is like working with our organizers; and it allows our organizers insight into your learning and organizational thought process. Our organizers are able to better assess the length of time we expect the project/task will take, as well as what type of plan will work best for you.
By the way, most clients discover they get more done in an hour working with us, than in the days, weeks, months or years they’ve attempted organizing on their own!
Your Life Less Messy was founded in 2014, with the sole purpose of helping people improve their lives. The company implements customized organization solutions and real-world strategies and systems that allow people to better manage their environment, their time, and their priorities.

"Amy Porter worked with us for approximately 3 months, helping us downsize and organize our rather large house. She was spot-on in showing us what to do and explaining why we were doing it. She worked along with us instead of sitting in a chair and giving instructions. Actually, she worked harder than we did, as we are seniors and didn’t move around fast enough for her. My husband says that we got more done in 4 hours with Amy’s help than we could have accomplished on our own in a week, even if we knew what we were doing. She was a delight to work with." ~Michelle (Maryland)
"Amy Porter came into my house and changed my life in many, many ways. The first was that she did not judge me and what had become of my space. After getting divorced, moving several times and severely downsizing my space I was left with an overwhelming amount of papers and other items that needed to be sorted and organized or discarded. I did not know where to begin so it just sat there gathering dust and leaving me feeling dejected, overwhelmed and somewhat hopless that things would ever change. I would never have the space I wanted with all the things that needed to be dealt with. With a firm hand Amy got to know me, prioritized my needs and started me on my journey to organization. She was helpful in a variety of ways; first she actually got in there and helped me get started, then she developed an organizing system for me and finally gave me the skills to avoid a repeat of my circumstance. With a compassionate, understanding and patient demeanor Amy helped me clear my clutter, organize my house and taught me how to keep it that way. I will be forever grateful for the guidance and assistance she provided me when I needed it the most. Thank you Amy." ~David (Maryland)
"I was amazed to discover on our first work day with Amy we accomplished more in 3 hours than we had in 3 years." ~Ron (Maryland)
“As an art teacher with an ever expanding collection of lessons, resources and supplies, things got a little out of hand. Rather than coming in and reorganizing everything for me Amy worked with me to sort, organize and develop a system that worked with the way I think and operate. Amy was incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout the process. I am so pleased with the results that I actually show off the systems now in place. I am especially proud of the organization of my lessons and resources, which all fit neatly onto one shelf. Now I can locate any lesson or hand out in under a minute. I timed it. Amy also worked with my budget by finding uses for things I already had and searching out the best storage systems for the price to fit my needs and space. I was constantly impressed with her thoroughness, attention to detail, diligence and patience. I would highly recommend Your Life Less Messy to any one, especially if you are anxious or self-conscious about your stuff. Amy has helped me t be as confident with my organization as I am with my teaching.” ~Anne (Maryland)
