We LOVE client referrals—even more than we love The Container Store. Referrals are the best way to continue growing The Organizing Boss community.

Are you a satisfied client who has a friend or family member interested in decluttering and getting organized? If you refer someone who becomes a client, we offer $50 in cold hard cash (well, electronic payment actually) as a way to show my appreciation.

Send folks our way! We'd love to help them feel that same relief and peace of mind you're experiencing.

I love the "more breathable" part!

I say this all the time—we all have too much stuff! Editing down is about being intentional and ensuring you want specific items in your space. When it's not cluttered, you can BREATHE!

"Blake has been a life-saver, and a game-changer. Super-reliable, super-skilled at sorting and organizing. After only three sessions, my home is already feeling more breathable and I feel lighter and more organized. He knows his stuff, highly recommend." — Rich L., Washington, DC

I'm celebrating today! Six years ago today, I officially launched The Organizing Boss.

After 18 years in an office, I needed something different. I needed autonomy, variety, flexibility. I needed something that was mine.

When I started my business, I knew there would be demand for it; I knew I loved organizing; and I knew I wanted to work for myself. I simply wanted to build a business around organizing because it satisfied what I personally was looking for.

What I didn't expect was how much I would actually love helping people in this specific way!

The best part of these 6 years hasn't been the organized spaces (though those are pretty satisfying). It's been the people. The repeat clients who come back because they know we're going to provide awesome service. The families who feel relief when their home finally works for their life. The community in DC that's supported this dream.

I've learned so much about organizing and running a business. I've felt every emotion from scared sh*tless to wild excitement, from heartbreak to pure joy. But most importantly, I've learned that doing something you love, with people you genuinely want to help, changes everything.

So today, I'm grateful. I'm grateful for the clients who trusted me with their homes and their peace of mind. For the team that's grown around me. For the freedom to build something that feels like me.

Here's to 6 years. And to whatever comes next!

Thank you. 🙏

Fall and cooler weather is coming! I’m so ready, because summer is actually my least favorite season. (Yes, I know that some people think that’s crazy weird.)

With the seasons changing means the need to prepare your home for lower temperatures and more time indoors. But here’s the thing: you don’t need to buy anything new. You just need to organize what you already have.

Swipe through for 5 spaces in your home that are ready for a seasonal refresh. This isn’t about decorating—it’s about prepping your home for fall weather and the coziness that comes with it.

Save this carousel. Use it as a checklist this weekend. And pop a note in the comments with other ideas or things to think about as the weather cools down.👇

Are you a collector?

This client has thousands of basketball and football cards, and hundreds of those are graded. The collection is AMAZING.

However, he can't find what he owns because all his cards were simply filed in boxes with no rhyme or reason.

This is a work in progress, but we're slowly getting there.

Do you have a collection for which you need organizing support? Give us a call; we're happy to help!

Continuing our remembrance of Dolly, here's a very good quote about the importance of reflection and perserverance.

This especially applies to entrepreneurship and small business ownership; it's not for the faint of heart and requires a constant need to learn.

Thanks, Dolly!

"I thank God for my failures. Maybe not in the moment, but after some reflection." — Dolly Parton

Because of a client's understanding and flexibility, I get to take off this Labor Day!

Funny story, I recently messed up my calendar and the client's selected day I was traveling. So, I offered a client a session today. His response: "No, let's find another day. No one wants to work on a holiday, especially not one celebrating our labor."

Touché, Mr. Client, touché.
