Stuff The Clutter LLC

It's going amazing. She goes through every piece of paper, every box and make organizing/decluttering easy for my dad.

Working with Jackie is always truly a pleasure. She has helped me sort through physical belongings and paperwork piles. More importantly, perhaps by doing so, she has also helped me sort through numerous "life issues" that were bound up in the midst of the clutter.

Jackie brings a fresh eye to the situation at hand, with both a wonderful intuitive sense and creative solutions to free up the stuck energy within the entire space. She has boundless energy and enthusiasm for her work and always (lovingly-yrt-professionally) keeps me on task when memories and stories are released during our work together.

Over the past 10 years, I have hired Jackie several times for a variety of reasons--following my husband's death, clearingmy home office, preparing for a remodeling project, plus occasional "spot" de-cluttering. I wholeheartedly recommend Jackie's services.

I won't let my husband open the garage door, until it was cleaned and organized.  She did a wonderful job, I am now willing to leave the garage door open and let the whole world see it.

It was about $60 an hour. She was very fast. I learned a lot.

Jackie Bornor is more that a skilled and proficient organizer; she is also well-versed on many topics and freely shares useful tips. She is creative in the use of space and in bringing related items together, often moving them to a more logical place. Best of all, she is not judgmental--at all. I never felt uncomfortable about her coming into my home and creating order out of my chaos.

After Jackie looked over my planned areas, we went right to work--and worked straight through the allotted time.  I need help with making a plan, staying motivated and with the toting and lugging.  Jackie did all of this--exactly what I want and need.  I have hopes, now, that this will actually get done!

It is going great. We have worked together for a few weeks now and I can really tell the difference. We still have a ways to go. Once we go through the house, she is going to help stage it as I will be putting it on the market. She has been a joy to work with.

Very well. I was pleased with the results.

Jackie is a tireless worker.  She is always warm, friendly, punctual  and focused.  When she is here, the amount accomplished is astonishing. She really loves being an organizer and her attitude makes me more confident in dealing with what seems an overwhelming task.  She is also creative about solutions and has an expansive knowledge of things related to simplifying and de-cluttering. It means so much to me to work with someone with her skill, but who is never judgmental about me, the stuff in the house, or decisions I make; instead she is always upbeat, encouraging and supportive.  This is third time I've asked Jackie to help with de-cluttering projects. Each time she has provided dedicated and fabulous hard work and guidance.  Without her, I really don't think the tasks would have been accomplished. I recommend her without hesitation and have extolled her to friends and neighbors many times. I wish I could take her with us when we move!

Jackie is a gifted organizer.  She arrived at my home at the exact time of our appointment, spending only a few minutes getting oriented before setting out on our first organizing session - the bathroom drawers and hall closets.  Our sessions were always tremendously productive.  Over the course of several months, Jackie worked with me and my husband on decluttering, organizing, and donating
items from bedrooms, closets, dining room cupboards, basement recreation room, basement storage room, and basement workshop. 
Jackie's approach is positive and energizing.  She really helped cut through the negative emotions and the distress that kept me stuck for so many years.  With sensitivity to my personal response to the process of organizing, Jackie listened carefully and adjusted her approach if necessary.  At my request, she left me with homework to complete between our sessions, which helped me stay on pace with my goals and deadlines.  As we worked together, I learned some of the principles of decluttering and organizing that I could apply to other projects on my own or with my husband.  Jackie shared many ideas and strategies to let go of things, to identify recipients for my donations and recycleables, and to minimize my contributions to landfills.  She researched information for me between sessions, such as donation and recycling events, and always showed up with new ideas to apply to the next project.  Jackie is resourceful, creative, responsive, and good humored as she works with me.  I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Jackie and the work she does to bring organization to her clients.  I will be working with her again as I gear up for the next set of organizing goals in our home.

It went great! I have three piles, yard sale, donate, toss. I have tossed I am yet to do donate and sale. I plan to have her back in September, when things settle down here in my home.

Jackie L. Bornor, founder & president of Stuff The Clutter, came in at exactly 11:00am, and we sat and talked a bit so she could find out what my needs were. From that moment on, she jumped right in, in helping to move a few things around in my sewing space, then we tore into boxes of papers!! She was so, so helpful!! Patient, empathetic, professional, expedient and with a wonderful spirit are only some of the words I can use to describe Jackie and her work!  As we worked, she was very understanding as to my situation where I'm a full time caretaker of my husband who has some dementia & strokes, babysit my 7yr old "grandson",  mentor a young lady & a few more activities. Jackie has skills to help anyone with any organizational situation/problem they are facing!! Yes, I want her back someday soon!!

Working with Jackie was an outstanding experience.  Her organizational skills combine with a "let's get it done" unwaivering non-judgmental approach and sense of camradarie provide the core of a service that we would not only recommend but also plan to use, again!  Besides clearing the shed and garage of clutter and then organizing what remained, Jackie personally dropped off a carload of Goodwill donations and then provided us with recommendations for people to haul away some larger items that could not be recycled or reused.  Her follow-up communications were both professional and personal. Sometimes you just need an outside eye, some extra support or a spark to move you from the "we need to/we've been thinking about" stage to the "let's do it, now" stage and that's where Jackie works her magic. Every time that I walk through my garage or into my shed, it confirms that it was time and money well spent with Stuff-the-Clutter.

Jackie arrived today at the exact time we had agreed upon and we immediately got to work.  She offered suggestions as to how to best utilize our time together and not a minute was wasted!  She didn't even stop to take a drink of water or to eat a snack even though I offered both.  We spent 6 hours going through every single file folder, every drawer, every cabinet and shelf and I ended up with 6 garbage bags full of discarded items, a bin full of shredded documents and another pile of material which will be taken away to a professional shredder.  She even brought a label maker and now all of my hanging files are professionally labeled in alphabetical order.  Now that the office is finally decluttered, I am inspired to update the decorating and better utilize the space.  In addition to being very proficient at her job, she was very pleasant to work with - very personable and very non-judgmental (which must have been hard given the task I had placed before her!)  I would highly recommend Jackie Bornor if you are interested in de-cluttering and organizing any room in your home or office!!

We needed to establish a home office from a room that had become a "storage" (read "junk") room with more than 15 years of papers, documents and mail, as well as arrange the room into an efficient working environment.  Jackie came to our home and patiently sat with us as we went through piles and piles of material, magically transforming all of it into a working system.  The job took longer than we expected, but not due to any inefficiency on her part; she worked diligently without breaks and never a complaint.  She willingly undertook everything we asked of her, including assistance in moving some bulky furniture.  She returned at least 6 or 8 times, always willingly accommodating our complicated schedules until the job was complete.
