SENIORS

Housing is not only a major concern but also a valued asset. Due to the many options available – condominiums, retirement communities, apartments, and assisted living facilities – seniors may need organisation assistance. We can help older adults and their families with the physical and emotional aspects such as:  

• Purging sensitive memories
• Downsizing assistance
• Deciding what to take to your new home
• Planning and determining the “fit” of your belongings in the new space
• Resources for donation, selling, and recycling of unwanted items
• Unpacking and getting you settled in your new home

IN THE HOME

Your home environment should be a place you want to live in and enjoy, your refuge from the outside world.  That may not be possible however, if you are overwhelmed by overflowing drawers, overstuffed closets, unable to find what you need, or embarrassed to have people over.  Organisation is available for every room in your home. We can:

• Help conquer paper clutter and endless mail 
• Maximize storage space
• Let go of clutter, including painful mementoes
• Simplify work routines and daily schedules
• Insurance inventory
• Light budget management
• Backing up computer files
• Learning what to keep, store, sell, donate, shred and toss

IN THE GARAGE 

Unfortunately, many of us live with a sort of "landfill" attached to our homes.  You may or may not be lucky enough to nudge a car into the garage. Most garage space is severely under utilized, but we can help: 

• Clearing room to park the car
• Storing holiday decorations
• De-cluttering
• Cataloging collectibles
• EBay cataloging systems
• Using all of the space efficiently

IN THE OFFICE 

You know your business, but may be unsure about those pesky, unruly piles of files and papers covering your desk...and they never seem to go away. Client visits can be stressful, if your office looks less than professional. Little Miss Efficiency works with you to customize practical solutions for feeling better about the space you work in. Why not organise your office so it works for you, by: 

• Electronic file management
• Organise work spaces and create a more producstive environment
• Reorganising area in more efficient manner 
• Increase productivity
• Light secretarial services
• Document organisation and paper flow management

• Set up and establish functional file systems
• Coaching in Microsoft Office Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint
• Light coaching in Microsoft Project and Access
• Palm Pilot training
• Calendar management
• Merge mail projects
• Revise office routines and schedules
• Transitioning to new office spaces  

• Creating and updating office forms

EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS 

Assistants are called upon to handle a slew of duties, usually assigned by other people. Many support teams and whole departments. With your mind spinning from tasks, deadlines, and schedules, we can help you reach that next pay increase by: 

• Over the shoulder computer assistance
• Tips and tricks to cater to executives
• Multi-tasking made easy
• Work load management and prioritizing
• Becoming invaluable and review time preparation
• "Clean desk" mentalities

ARTISTS 

Creating art is time consuming, with little time left to follow up with gallery directors and clients. Traditional corporate communications can make one's head spin. We can help you make more time for inspiration by:

• Maintaining client lists
• Keeping all elements of inspiration handy
• Systemizing your portfolio and contacts 
• Mailings
• Storage of your medium and materials
• File maintenance
• Sketchbook labeling
• Event and invitation coordination

MOVING AND RELOCATION

Moving is hard on most members of the family and this kind of major change is difficult. Children especially must leave behind friends, teachers, mentors and a neighborhood they may have grown up in. Such variables can add pressure to an already stressful situation. Let us help you transition with a peace of mind by: 

• Unpacking while you work

• Sorting and assessing your belongings room by room

• Handling unwanted items for sale, donation and recycling

• Preparing rooms in your house for open house
