Welcome to the Neat & Simple Living Lens! 

NEAT & SIMPLE LIVING is about finding the balance between "NEAT" and "SIMPLE" that is good enough and works for you! It's about neat ideas to keep things simple, get organized, and enjoy your life.

NEAT & SIMPLE LIVING is about being PROACTIVE and not just REACTIVE to all the stuff and noise out there competing for your attention and your money. It's about having less stuff to take care of, and having more time and money to do what you really love!

My mission is to help people let go of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual clutter and get organized to make their dreams come true!  When you learn to let go of stuff, the time you can devote to what you love is exponentially increased. 

So what's stopping you? Get started today and check out my lens!

About abenefit

Hi, I'm a professional organizer, coach, author and speaker. My passion is empowering people to live their lives as they choose - not as slaves to their stuff. Learning to release the stuff that clutters your life, home, and office allows you to truly live the meaningful and fulfilling life of your dreams. Having grown up in an extremely cluttered home and having moved frequently, I learned first hand how to overcome the need to keep everything and the freedom it gives you. Being the first and only person in my family to go to college, I also learned early on how critical organizing is. If you want to achieve your dreams and goals, the first step after deciding on a direction is always to organize! I have coached hundreds of individuals to reach their goals and consulted with many of the Fortune 500 in my 25 plus years experience. I've written over 80 articles which can be found on my "Neat Living Blog: Neat Ideas for Life" at www.NeatLiving.net and at www.OrganizingForHealth.com.You can also sign up for my monthly "Neat Living Newsletter" at www.neatliving.org/newsletters My home is in Bloomfield, NJ where I live with my dear husband, Alan and three adorable Maine Coone cats. When not helping people organize their lives, I love to garden, entertain, travel and ride my motorcycle! You can reach at 973-429-2100 for private consultations and coaching or visit me on the web at www.NeatLiving.org. My education includes a Master's Degree in Education (Instructional Design for Organizational Training) with a minor in Business from the University of Miami, FL, a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish, and certifications in Process Facilitation, Management Development, and Accelerated Learning. I speak Spanish fairly fluently, and am a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers(NAPO), and the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization.
