"I continue to use your skills and advice as I stop stuff from coming in the door and as I am unpacking any potential clutter, I have flash backs from our sessions about whether or not to keep it, etc. I even think about you at the store when I am considering an impulse buy that I don't really need, and I usually DON'T buy it. Thank you!!!" -- Anonymous
"The sessions with America's Best Organizing Solutions proved to be extremely valuable. The insight I gained will continue to apply in my daily routine. Lisa has been a welcomed and much needed resource.
Through Lisa's helpful spirit and warm guidance, I was empowered to develop new productive habits that have served to reduce the clutter in my life. Lisa equipped me with the "mental tools" required to bring organization to both my home and work environments.
This experience has allowed me to foster healthy personal growth, create productive habits, and promoted a sense of ownership over what I choose to keep in my life.
It is with my complete confidence that I recommend America's Best Organizing Solutions." -- S.P., North Canton
"Ahhhh ~ the sweet taste of freedom! I am no longer spinning my wheels. I know what I have and where it is located. I can't tell you how freeing it is for my whole family. My few hours with Lisa jump-started a whole house purge/organize session. Once I got over the embarrassment of someone seeing inside my closets/hidden clutter areas, and after realizing that even though I've told myself, "Oh, I can do this," I realized that I haven't done it and that I needed help.
Lisa is motivated, professional, non-judgmental, and best of all--she removes the "stuff" and distributes it to those who might be better served by it. I am grateful, and so is my family." -- A.P., Cuyahoga Falls
"Lisa came to my home and worked with me to organize some desperately needed areas. Her enthusiasm was like a breath of fresh air! She motivated me to keep those areas organized. I have remained organized thanks to Lisa." -- K.K.M., Copley
"Great job! Low-stress, helpful, friendly, efficient, effective! Helped in ways we didn't even expect!" -- A.S., Cuyahoga Falls
"Lisa was kind enough to come to our home after we had a flood and twins on the way. She helped us so much, and really made our lives a lot easier. We organized closets, our kitchen, and all of our new baby items. We really appreciated her time, close attention to detail, and how she really listened to what our needs were. We are planning on working with her in the future, when we have new projects." -- A.K., Kent
"I contacted Lisa Graziani, America's Best Organizing Solutions, for help in de-cluttering and organizing the refinished and largest area of my basement that has exercise machines, sewing machines, and LOTS of sewing, needlework and crafts' materials and projects.
I wanted and needed help. I decided to contact a professional personal organizer for assistance. I had heard Lisa give a presentation on Paper Management and I liked what and how she explained things relating to getting clutter-free and organizing.
Lisa was so energetic and very efficient in her work; she worked hard and non-stop. Her questions were good, and she encouraged my questions and comments. She gave me advice, suggestions and hope. We got so much done!
I highly recommend Lisa and America's Best Organizing Solutions to anyone wanting to get clutter free and organized." -- M.K., Akron
"Concerning America's Best Organizing Solutions:
Lisa Graziani is truly wonderful. She did not organize my life for me; instead she taught me how to organize it. She gave me back control over my life.
The time we spent together was difficult, but worth it. I was learning something totally foreign and, to be honest, it was and sometimes still is difficult fighting old habits. I can look at my whole family and see that none of them know the things Lisa has taught me, so no wonder I didn't know how to be organized. I was never taught. I was instead taught to be a "pack rat" or a "gatherer" of things I might need someday.
She told me this situation was not hopeless; it is not too big or bad. And she would be there to make sure I succeeded.
Lisa told me things I would have rather not heard... she pointed out my bad habits in order to change them; she questioned me when I wanted to keep something I haven't ever used and had no plan on using it. She made sure I was giving away the things I said I would and not just putting them back in my cupboards. She brought to light the emotions surrounding the clutter, helped me understand the connection, and taught me the knowledge to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed by my "stuff." I recommend Lisa with America's Best Organizing Solutions wholeheartedly to those who are ready and willing to change their life." -- Mrs. R., Barberton
"My car had been parked in the driveway for a year-through all the rain and snow. The junk heap that was piled in the garage kept me from pulling it inside, out of the elements. Lisa Graziani showed up right on time to help me organize my garage. She started by explaining the whole process to me. This made the task seem less daunting and put me at ease. Before we touched anything, she asked me about how I wanted to use the space in my garage, what my needs were. Once she had a clear idea of what was important to me, we got started. She was thorough and hardworking, guiding me through the process. We completed the job in six hours-much less time than I thought it would take. We disposed of a large pile of trash. I had a place for my automotive supplies and tools. The kids had easy access to their sports equipment and bicycles. Best of all, my car fit inside-with room to spare!
I was so impressed with how well it went that I arranged for Lisa to come back and help with my utility room. This was another job well done. Now I can find all my tools and I have space on my workbench. My wife is happy that I have now been able to make some needed repairs around the house that I had been putting off because the utility room was such a disaster. Lisa has been a great help. She is competent and trustworthy. I highly recommend her services. I would not hesitate to work with her again." -- J.M.D., Stow
"When we moved into our new house 5 years ago just before Christmas, we decided to put the moving boxes full of household items, paperwork, clothing, toys, etc. that we really didn't need right away down in the basement and I would start unpacking right after Christmas. During this time, my father passed away and when we cleared out his house, I took boxes upon boxes of not only my parent's belonging but also my childhood belongings that had been stored in their attic.
Each time I attempted to clear out some boxes, I found myself overwhelmed and even after spending a couple of hours thinking I was accomplishing something, found myself reminiscing about every item I touched and finding it very difficult to get rid of anything. So I had basically moved the boxes around to make paths to work in.
So, after 5 years of nothing getting accomplished because it was so overwhelming and emotional for me, I decided to hire a professional organizer. Lisa Graziani, owner of America's Best Organizing Solutions came to my rescue.
Lisa made a dreaded, overwhelming and emotional task quite enjoyable and uplifting. She listened to me express my feelings of emotional attachment in such an understanding way, while explaining to me the problems most people have with the emotional attachment issue. Her guidance was extremely helpful during the decision making process of determining what to keep, what to donate and what to get rid of. She was so professional and knowledgeable about the entire process and has a great sense of humor, which helped me get through this emotional time. We accomplished so much on her first visit and I couldn't wait for her to come the next week. I had such a sense of accomplishment, relief and peace in my life.
When she came back, I told her I did try to go through some boxes but found it very difficult without her being here to encourage me and to guide me. She again reassured me that if I felt such a strong attachment, to put the item aside and move on and come back to it the next day and see how I felt then. It was amazing how this really helped me.
I can't thank Lisa enough for everything she has done for me and taught me. She has made my life so much more organized and on track. I now find myself putting items in their proper place the first time instead of procrastinating. It saves so much time knowing where everything is and now I have less stress in my life and everyone in my family benefits from that." -- S. P., Cuyahoga Falls
