Carmel, IN (PRWEB) January 2, 2006 -- Janet Nusbaum, Carmel-based Professional Organizer and member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) announces that January is NAPO’s annual “Get Organized” month. Throughout the month of January, Janet is hopes to share with the media and educate the public about the detrimental effects of a cluttered life and the benefits of “Getting Organized”.

As our lives become increasingly complex and stressful, time-starved Americans yearn for more simplicity and control in their lives … and better organization is a key ingredient to achieving these goals. Consider the following:

•Most Americans (60%) feel they do not have enough time to get everything done

•The average American wastes 55-minutes per day – roughly 12 weeks per year – looking for misplaced belongings

•75% of Americans visit malls each week. On average, Americans shop six hours a week and reportedly spend only 40-minutes playing with their children

•Today, many homes have three-car garages that are nearly 900 square feet in size (the same as an entire house in the 1950s)

•We receive as much mail in a week as our parents received in a month and as much in a month as our grandparents received in a lifetime." (USPS)

In our work with clients, Professional Organizers regularly confront, and offer solutions for, our modern-day epidemic of stress, overwork, waste and indebtedness caused by the dogged pursuit of the American Dream, dubbed “Affluenza”. Janet Nusbaum, owner of Simplified Spaces, offers a gateway for Central Indiana residents to address these issues in their lives, and offers solutions for taking control of their environments, time and clutter. With a corporate management background and an entrepreneur for 12 years, Janet designs systems and processes that clear away the clutter, calm the chaos, and teach clients organizational skills, that result in increased productivity, reduced stress, improved quality of life, and more time to enjoy personal interests. In short, Janet helps make room for life.

As a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), Janet will be celebrating the association’s annual January event “Get Organized Month” with discounted rates, new packages, and educational programs offered throughout the month. “With the holidays now behind us, we face the challenge of finding room for all the new gifts we received. Unfortunately in many households the gifts are just added to an already cluttered environment. January is the perfect month for NAPO to sponsor an event that calls attention to the benefits of clearing out the waste and resolving to get organized.” The benefits of getting organized are significant:

Getting Organized at Home will:

•Bring order, calm and control to home and family life

•Save money by organizing bills, shopping and clothing

•Get more done in less time

•Put the home in order so items can be found find when they are needed, and only those items that are useful and loved fill the space!

Getting Organized at Work will:

•Bring structure, logic and control to the organization, at any level

•Optimize workflow to increase productivity, reduce stress, and heighten profitability

•Build company-wide systems or define responsibilities for a single employee

•Motivate the team with real solutions to the everyday or ongoing challenges of too much to do, changing priorities, and information overload

Janet will be presenting organizing tips at several Old National Bank financial centers throughout January, and welcomes additional opportunities to educate the public during NAPO’s Get Organized Month about the causes and cures of this epidemic called “Affluenza” and the many benefits of getting organized.

Also in 2006, Janet will be volunteering her time and skills through NAPO’s “Quantum Leap” program which partners with local social service organizations to teach critical organization, budgeting and paper management skills to underserved populations.
