The Why
Why choose One to Zen Organizing?
There are many organizers out there. Here are the superpowers that you are harnessing when you hire One to Zen Organizing:
Mindful & Process based
I believe that mindfulness is the key to organization. A large part of my job is to bring awareness to both a client’s true goals and to the underlying issues causing disorganization. Once we solve this puzzle, we can create a process that both allows you to reach your organizing goals and maintain your systems and space.
Compassion & Empathy
In order to solve your organizing issues, I need to understand your wants and needs. I ask key questions and then listen to you without judgement. Compassion and empathy are such simple concepts but they take practice. That is why I joined the Compassion Course and read The Compassion Book every year.
The Session Summary
After every session, I provide a complimentary Session Summary of our work together. I find this step very important for both of us. The summary allows me to lay out your goals so we can both see that we are working toward the same outcome. It also allows me to share the framework for how you will reach those goals. What can be more motivating than that?
Collaboration
When you hire One to Zen Organizing, you can be sure you will be working with me, Jill Katz. Our work together is a partnership where I take your organizing needs and use my expertise to create a strategy that gets you there.
Professional Development
Lifelong learning is one of my core beliefs. By keeping up with the latest organizational strategies and techniques I can pass them on to you. I belong to both the National Association of Productivity & Organizing professionals (NAPO and NAPO-WDC, the Washington DC Metro chapter) and the Institute of Challenging Disorganization (ICD) and take classes regularly from both organizations. I keep all client information confidential as reflected in NAPO’s Organizing Codes of Ethics.
The How

Are you interested in getting started but need to understand more about “how it works”? Here is my process to get you from “One to Zen.”
Set up a phone call with me
First we set up a free 20-minute phone consultation so I can get to know you and understand your organizing goals.
Schedule a walk through
Next we set up a 2-hour window for me to come and conduct a walk through of your space. You will show me the areas that bother you and I will ask questions and take nots.
Email a detailed strategy
After our time together, I will write up a detailed strategy for you and email it for you to review
Set up future sessions
We will then set up another call to see if you would like to organize sessions for me to carry out any or all of the strategies listed in the assessment. Alternately, we can set up virtual sessions for me to coach you and hold you accountable so you can reach your goals.
