Goals for the New Year

Goals for the New Year

Writing down my goals for the New Year is one of my favorite things to do! I love a good to-do list. And did you know we’re more likely to achieve our goals when we write them down and tell someone about them?

Goals for 2020:
1. Work with more amazing clients to help them reach their organizing goals and feel motivated to take on their biggest life goals, too. Look for coaching services coming in the New Year!
2. Keep writing a weekly blog at and build an online community of ambitious, awesome women! Help me do this by commenting on posts that resonate with you, and on other comments too.
3. Declutter my home, time, and digital life. Want to join me? Sign up for my free Declutter to Empower Challenge here!

4. Finally try an Instant Pot (I’m afraid it will explode!) If you have favorite Instant Pot recipes or words of wisdom on this appliance, post them in the comments below.

What are your resolutions this year? I’d love to hear them! Reach out @ laurenfinkshea@gmail.com

Happy Planning,

Lauren

Meet Lauren Fink-Shea, Seattle Professional Organizer

Welcome! I'm Lauren, and you can usually find me working on a project in my 1940's Cape Cottage or cuddling my two boys. I wasn't always organized, but when I became a mom I soon discovered that it was key to making time + space for what I love: writing projects, reading for pleasure, and quality time with my family. Decluttering and organizing are still my go to activities when I feel stuck and need to redefine my purpose. I also coach clients on the organizational skills they want to develop in order to achieve their goals. This blog is full of my latest organizing and decluttering discoveries, stories from my work with clients, process guides to make it all easier, and resources to help you carve out more time + space for what you love, too!

“After I built my Adu, I decided to rent out my house, and move into the ADU instead. Lauren helped me work with a smaller kitchen and organize it so I actually cook! I also love the little toolbox she organized which replaces the need for an entire cabinet for all the leftover construction items.”— Kim F., Bryant

Diane S., Ballard

“I had organized my art room many times, but I didn’t have a system to keep it organized. Lauren helped me rethink, define, purge and set up a manageable system according to my values and needs. She asked great questions and got to the essence of what I wanted. She helped me repurpose existing furniture to create space, a sense of calm, and increase productivity. I appreciated her ability to think outside the box, keep me encouraged and on task. The end result is freedom from clutter, unwanted things, and a space that reflects my individuality!”— Diane S., Ballard

Atma and Teresa S., Bryant

“My office used to be a catch all space for stuff. Now it’s a place where I can focus my work. Our paperwork of the last few years is now neatly filed and easy to find. Lauren came with a plan, executed it and pushed us to make some changes in a few hours that could have taken us months to decide. We finally got rid of some items that were taking up space but never used. We love the transformation!” –Atma and Teresa S., Bryant

Bryan and Mary H., Hawthorne Hills

“Lauren helped us eliminate our external business office and merge it with our home office, which saves us commute time and thousands of dollars each month in overhead costs. My wife and I both use the space for different purposes, and Lauren helped us navigate those needs and come up with a thoughtful organization that works for both of us. We are very happy with our office!”— Bryan and Mary H., Hawthorne Hills

Lauren is wonderful to work with. She gently addresses the client’s needs with ease and professionalism. I would highly recommend her to any of my clients whether they need a little or a lot of organization in their lives! –Meredith Helmick, of Meredith Helmick Interiors, Montlake

“Lauren was so helpful with organizing my hallway drop zone/ mud area, this area has been bugging me for way too long. In little over an hour, Lauren gave me ideas I hadn’t thought of and she also gave me some great ideas for organizing my bathroom as well. Now things have a home and the space doesn’t look like an unorganized drop zone, we even used bins and jars I already had. I highly recommend Lauren’s organizing services.” — Hannah E., Roosevelt
