Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), the New England Chapter

A wife and mother of two active boys, she understands the pressures of
trying to run a business, 'do it all' and still stay sane. Cheryl entered into the
organizing industry during her years of PT work. She has always enjoyed
working directly with people to get results, and help them stay motivated to
focus on meeting their goals. She appreciates the differences in each client
as they face the challenge of breaking old habits and creating new organized
ones.
With her medical background, Cheryl has an understanding of the physical
challenges people can face in times of illness or stress from life
circumstances. She understands ergonomics and injury prevention.
CLUTTER unchecked IS a safety hazard. TIME unmanaged IS stressful
and can result in health problems. She is a believer in the importance of a 'm
ind & body' connection. Organized Around The Clock aims to provide and
teach real organizing solutions (not the big myth of perfection), to enable
clients to focus on what matters most in life to them.
Here's what Organized Around The Clock clients are saying:
"I first called Cheryl after reading an article featuring her in the Patriot
Ledger. I really needed help organizing my home. My father had died the
previous year and most of his belongings were stored in my house. I was
very depressed as I faced the sad task of sorting through his things. I also
had the left-over furniture amassed by my in-laws and the layers of
outgrown toys and treasures of five children ages 9 to mid 20's. In the
little space left for (our) stuff I felt nearly suffocated by the weight of it
all. There was so much to do, and I simply didn't know where to begin.
Cheryl came to my house to assess my situation. She was cheerful and
nonjudgmental as I conveyed my anguish. Thanks to her positive attitude,
organizing skills, hard work, unflagging energy and compassion, years of
unused possessions found new homes, or were otherwise appropriately
disposed of. What had once seemed a nearly impossible task to undertake
was no longer overwhelming. I can't say enough about the help I have
received from Cheryl. Thanks to her, such a burden has been lifted from
me. My whole family is grateful. "
Brenda (Scituate)
"Cheryl helped my parents go through and organize a basement full of
boxes that had been through 3 moves without being opened. She also
helped them to get their offices and personal papers in order. She did it
with good humor, and was always sensitive to their needs, making many
helpful suggestions, but not imposing her own ideas or pushing too hard.
One task she accomplished was putting all of my father's stamps into the
appropriate stamp albums. It may seem like a small thing, but it gave him
huge satisfaction to know that it was done. She turned what seemed to be
an impossible task into something manageable. I would recommend
Cheryl for any and all organizational needs."
Judy (Duxbury)
"I have done business with other organizers, (but) Cheryl Nelson is the
best. I think one of her main attributes is that she gets to know the person
she is working with and matches her organizing technique with her
client's personality. She knows instinctively that it is not just about
'organizing' - there are many layers to a person's needs and being in sync
with these needs produces the best results."
