ORGANIZATION
I’ve long been a believer of the saying, “There’s a place for everything and everything in its place.” So, too, for Keli Jakel, professional organizer and owner of Organized by Keli & Co. “Outer order creates inner calm,” she says. To help her clients reach that inner calm, Jakel borrows the Montessori principle of a “prepared environment.” For example, in the kitchen, pots and pans used all the time should be readily accessible and placed in Zone 1. Items not used every day but still necessary go in Zone 2. And Zone 3 incorporates seasonal or sentimental things that you don’t want taking up space that would prevent you from getting into the state of flow.

While reading a book about blind spots in our lives, I realized that at my very core I am an organizer! That was my strength in education where I organized curriculum, processes and departments. I know how difficult it can be to manage a career and a home, so I chose to use my knowledge and skills to help others create a home they love and feel relaxed in every day. I joined NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing) and have obtained certifications in Residential Organizing, Productivity and Life Transitions. Since then, I have added several employees to my team and trained them on the ins and outs of organizing using my background in education and leadership. Our team is like family- we have the common goal of meeting clients where they are during life transitions and helping them move forward with ease.
