A nose for organizing

Let me share with you something I learned recently while trying to find a new perfume and how it got me thinking about my business and my nose for organizing. 

Perfumes have 3 fragrance notes or 3 different scent layers that make a perfume unique and appealing. Top notes you smell first. Heart notes are the foundation and influence the base, and base notes deepen the complexity and create a lasting impression. That got me thinking about how my love for organizational systems helped me start my business and blog, Tailor Joy. 

The opening notes of my business are my tips and tools for your everyday life delivered in my slightly zany, outside the box manner that brings a smile to your face when you discover them. The heart notes are my systems of organization for approaching life’s curves with confidence such as my resources for tutoring or starting your own business, or my private tutoring and coaching services. The base notes are my background as a teacher, wife, and mom that provides years of experience problem-solving in everyday life and the desire to share that practical wisdom to help you see the joy in your everyday life.

I’ve got a nose for organizing things, and I love it when the project turns out well whether it’s cleaning my closet, coaching a client, planning meals, or researching colleges. It makes me smile to organize something or create a task system! For years I would get asked how I organize my weekly meal plans, how my daughter chose AP classes in high school to save a year of college expenses, how I started my own tutoring business, and how I organized my daughter’s wedding myself. I began saving and resending the same emails to friends who asked questions and realized that others would benefit from my systems and techniques. That’s when I started my weekly blog posts and newsletter called 2 Minutes Together. My goal is to help others smile more and sigh less as I share tips, tools, and techniques that I have found helpful. The different notes of my business blend together to make the special scent called Tailor Joy. 

Here are a few of the task systems I have created at Tailor Joy LLC. For most organizational tasks, there is not one right way to approach it, but it is important that the system works for the user. While I love the beauty of organization, I also love the freedom of flexibility I have to implement a plan in any given situation. All of my systems are customizable to your needs and preferences, which is another one of the unique notes of my business. I have lots of freebies out there to get you started. Charcuterie boards, clean closets, and note taking never smelled sweeter!
