My office is a total joy!! Everyone who saw the "before" and "after" exclaim with delight...some: "I didn't know how you could stand it before!!" and others: "I wanted to tell you you should have configured it that way, but thought it wasn't my business!!". To say I have no sense of spatial relationships is to put it mildly. I'm so grateful that I have my "spatial relationships managers" to turn to!!.

My paper piles and ‘unsorted’ boxes had turned my guest room into a storage area. I was sure that Mary Poppins was my only hope. Then Rhonda and Donna came. In two days they transformed the chaos into functional order. In fact, my husband immediately claimed the decluttered space for his home office! I stand amazed still, and know that ‘Power Over Paper’ is coming from wise, experienced and fearless organizers!

Hi Donna and Rhonda:
Just want to touch base with you and once again thank you for your awesome service!!!! I randomly won a lottery with Revenue Canada and am being audited tomorrow. What a relief to find all the necessary documents at my finger tips. Everything so beautifully labelled and ORGANIZED. You have made the preparation for the audit, less stressful. I'm sure the auditor will be impressed with how organized my paperwork is, thanks to you.
Thank you so very much!

My husband and I both have home offices and over the years we were drowning in paper, books etc. Donna and Rhonda gently and efficiently helped us to sort, file and dispose of a ton of paper and we feel so much lighter. We were so pleased with the outcome that we had them return to help us organize a storage room and our garage, They are so professional and yet personable...we loved having them in the house- and I am thinking next of the kitchen.

I am so happy with the work both of you did and feel like I am finally on the right path. Every time I enter the office I feel so excited and happy for the first time in a long time. I am determined to keep everything looking this way. You would be very impressed as I worked very hard the past 2 weekends and also completed the homework that you left for me!

My former method of organizing involved horizontal piles--stacked everywhere! And, when things got terrifically busy, the piles had piles and no surface was safe from encroachment. Thanks to the sleek black wire and charcoal grey folders of my new Hotfile system, I actually have a desktop, kitchen countertops and table. Imagine! I can eat and work...and find things.
a writer and editor, I am constantly researching new ideas, which requires me to handle a lot of paper. And when I'm busy, I get behind in organizing it...to the point that I've even lost library materials under the layers on my desk. With Heart of the Matter’s plan for success we tore through the two-foot mounds on my desk like Hurricane Ike through Galveston (but more productively, mind you), and I ended up with a system that I can maintain--and yes, where I can find things, too! I still hate filing, but at least it's a whole lot easier now.

I, like so many others, had that telltale pile of paper stacked on the corner of my kitchen island. It made me feel so 'scattered' and honestly, things went missing or were forgotten all the time! It drove me crazy to see the clutter. The 'Hotfile' really has changed the way my family and I deal with all of our 'stuff'. We now all know where to go to find important papers ie. school and sports calendars, permission forms, bills etc. I am not sure how I ever managed 'pre-hotfile' days. The system really works for my family and quite simply put - I love it!

Organizing Tip
Here is a little “trick of the trade”. Ever noticed those lines near the base of your file folders or hanging files? If you fold along the lines you are able to create a file with more capacity.
A great way to accommodate some of your bulkier files in your drawer and still allow you to see your tabs.
