“You know something Jane? You are right about the clutter issue..."
“You know something Jane? You are right about the clutter issue...I can not believe all the crap I am finding while getting the house ready for a possible sale. Why did I keep a broken insulated cup? What do I need with two extra cup lids that don’t seem to fit anything? What am I doing with a bar tool set that I got while selling cars in 1979? I barely drink!?
Dishes upon dishes that we never use and never will. My plan is to put all this stuff in boxes marked rummage and cart it off to my daughter’s house (she has a big sale every year). If it doesn’t sell it’s not coming back into the house. At least not MY house.
Right now I have over half the cabinets in the kitchen cleared out with just the stuff going to rummage. I’m leaving only the things we really use and need until we move. Then, when it’s time to move I can quickly pack the rest up. I did find a bottle of Southern Comfort with a date of 1979 on it. I don’t think that stuff gets better with age. Best of all, a bottle of “Elvis” brand wine. I have no idea where that even came from. Saving that one.
Oh, I have five coffee makers. Yup, five. I’m going to get rid of some of them….but I really do like coffee. ?????” ~ Dan, Michigan

“It was soooo inspiring to read my story in your newsletter. It brought little tear drops to my eyes. It really helped my motivation to hear your encouraging words. I'm trying to take this in bites, so as not to burn myself out. Next weekend I hope to paint my kitchen. I cleared most of the clutter from my book shelves and I want to place an ad on Craigslist to sell my desk (need to work on clearing it first). I hung my mirror over the couch and it has definitely changed the energy. It brings light into that corner of my space...Letting go of stuff can be emotionally terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. This process is helping me to wrap myself around the reality that I can change my life for the better. This is monumental for me. I have never believed that I could experience abundance in my life and I am opening myself to the possibility. Thanks so much for your help and encouragement.” ~Lori, Madison WI

"...Jane made our move a breeze."
We graduated last spring and moved from our tiny trailer to a larger townhome and Jane made our move a breeze. In four sessions, we had every closet organized with shelving, hooks, and bins and stuff put away. One year later, it continues to support our lives, we can still find everything! Love the closets almost as much as the living spaces!

“I Appreciated Jane’s Warmth and Guidance…”
I attended one of Jane's workshops and brought along five boxes of office papers I'd stashed in my basement to deal with "someday." I appreciated Jane's warmth and guidance as I tackled my task. Her suggestions and positive energy encouraged me to lighten up as I let go of unneeded paperwork. I'm very glad I spent the morning with her!

“I really believe that getting rid of all that crap from my house cleared a space in my life to make this connection.”
“Thanks again for your wonderful presentation at the DreamBank. I wanted to let you know that I was inspired by what you said, so on Thursday I had a few hours off of work and I went home and pretty much purged a great chunk of all the things I felt were weighing me down...clothes, socks with no match, tupperware with no lid, etc etc. I cleared out one room that was my "junk room" and turned it into a calming space where I can practice yoga and do art projects, journal, meditate. I felt so great afterwards.
Then, on Friday, I made an amazing connection with someone at a mental health training I was at, about the possibility of me teaching yoga at his private practice. I am training to be a yoga teacher and have been looking for an avenue to teach to people who otherwise wouldn't have access to yoga. I immediately called my mom and told her, and we are going to get together tonight to get rid of more stuff from her house!
I really believe that getting rid of all that crap from my house cleared a space in my life to make this connection. Thank you again!!!"

Thank you Jane! I got so much more than I thought I would of out of attending the Learning Lab at the Dreambank! You were very inspiring!

“I don’t feel the heavy weight of STRESS any longer...!”
‘Thought I would drop you a note to let you know that IT WORKED!
I started on cleaning/organizing/decluttering my home office over the weekend after your presentation in August. I made really good headway and accomplished part of the task but the day wasn't long enough so it stopped at about the halfway point that weekend. I finished the task this past Sunday and it is SO AMAZING! I don't feel the heavy weight of stress any longer when I step into the room. Everything is in it's proper place (or a new place that I made for it) and supplies and other items are organized and labeled in either clear frosted bins with lids or in office boxes for some items that make more sense in that size/scope of storage. The closet has TONS of room where it used to be falling all over the place when you opened the door.
I can't believe what a difference it made both visually and emotionally/physically once it was completed. My husband walked in, looked around and said, "Wow! Great job! Thanks for the effort on this!" so I know he is feeling the same way. :)
Now...next up...My craft room. Yikes! I know I can do it though and the result will be the same/similar!
Thanks for the inspiration!’

"I feel less overwhelmed and less stressed."
Working with Jane was a great experience! I felt all a-buzz and motivated after she left today. I accomplished a section of my to-do list which felt really, really good. I feel less overwhelmed and less stressed. I also went through my two closets and donated another 20 items. Jane has for sure jump started a lot at our house and I am excited! I really want to get the rest of the house done. Kyle (husband) loved opening all the drawers and doors in the kitchen/office/dining and living room cupboards we worked on and seeing everything! We’re so happy with our space! |

"I don't feel weighed down by stuff and clutter *hotspots* like I used to" “Jane’s as much coach as organizer, and then in the end you end up with serenity-inducing spaces in your home, office, shed, whatever. In just a little time, she's really helped me lift the energy in my space. We have a ways to go, but I don't feel weighed down by stuff and clutter *hot spots* like I used to. Check her out. She has something special.” |

"Jane is coaching me, in my closets and garage with one question that I love:
'Do you CHOOSE it?'"
Jane is a seasoned editing coach (one who helps you purge your clutter). She holds space (a mental attitude of non-judgement) for her clients to think clearly and choose what items will continue to be of value and what has served its purpose and is no longer needed. And when the useful and unuseful piles are separated and orderly, she hauls the castoffs away!
Jane called me in 2000 to guide her in redesigning her home; she was dedicated to beauty, order and personal transformation; she was a teacher. Over the years, we worked closely on her personal expansion, chifully redesigning her various homes, always paving the way to a brighter and brighter future. Her interest in feng shui and “Everything Matters” galvanized; she became aware of her love of clearing clutter; she is terrific at it! She switched careers to help others purge their clutter, which she knows has profound ripples into one’s consciousness and personal well being.
Now, Jane is coaching me, in my closets and garage with one question that I love: “Do you CHOOSE it?” How brilliant! - not, do I like it?
Is it beautiful? Does it still look good on me? Could I use it? - but "Do I Choose it?" That distinction clarified everything and made all of my decisions about keeping and tossing simple. Now Jane is apprenticing feng shui with me, honing her skills in understanding the connections of mind-body-home and how to access all three through adjustments, large and small, in the home/office.
Yes, Everything Matters!

“We realized we couldn't have packed so easily (for Sabbatical in Italy) had we not done that earlier work with you!”
“We are off to Italy this morning. . .and I wanted to send a quick note to tell you again how incredibly useful your consulting work continues to be for us. We have had to clean out the house to accommodate the renters who will be moving in when we leave- basically emptying drawers and closets in our bedrooms and storing our stuff in the attic. Because of the work you did, it was all so easy! Not only were we able to have a clear spot for everything, but it all went so fast. We were able to store our things so that we can easily find them when we return home...but we were able to store everything such that the attic is still really neat and organized, with plenty of room to walk around and see and get at all of the stuff. We realized we couldn't have packed so easily had we not done that earlier work with you! We continue to feel like it was such a good investment (and will no doubt feel the same when we come home and need to get at all the stuff for another season and, while jet lagged, need to pack the kids up for camp!).”

Some of the benefits of working with Jane are increased order, less guilt, more freedom, and a feeling of lightness!
"Jane is delightful to work with. She has a talent for staying focused on the task at hand in a very accepting manner. Some of the benefits of working with Jane are increased order, less guilt, more freedom, and a feeling of lightness! I was surprised after working with Jane that not only did I let go of material possession, but thoughts, attitudes and challenges that were impeding my personal growth ALSO went away. I did not expect that this process would continue in other areas of my life! I tend toward business and my schedule is often filled with too much. Now, I am trying to create more blank spaces in my schedule as well. (And leave them there!) The three significant improvements I’ve noticed from working with Jane are:
*Order in my space and mind
*A Willingness to look at other clutter in my life: physical, mental and otherwise
*A propensity to keep on clearing!"

“Our master bedroom has been totally transformed! It’s so MUCH better thanks to Jane!"
In one afternoon we decluttered the walk-in closet, my husband’s reach-in closet, a big dresser and all of the clothes that were neither in the closets or the dresser! 17 bags + a shoe rack donated to Easter Seals! Amazing!”

"Jane very energetically, respectfully and patiently helped me go through each shelf, each box, each bag and guided me through the process of letting go."
Jane Antonovich was SO helpful when I was feeling whacked out, shamed, dithery or otherwise overwhelmed by the state of disorganization in several areas of my old home. She helped me deal with a basement full of weaving, art supplies, cooking equipment, and other stuff when we were getting ready to sell our house. Much of those belongings had not been used in years. Jane very energetically, respectfully and patiently helped me go through each shelf, each box, each bag and guided me through the process of letting go. Then she, astonishingly, helped me get rid of it! She made what seemed like an impossible job possible AND it went a LOT quicker than I ever imagined it could.
Jane has so much “can do” energy that any organizational disaster that might make you want a sedative or that makes you feel like a slug, is her area of expertise. My next job for her will be help dealing with all the photos….you know all those family photos that I say I will get into albums someday but somehow stay in bins and bags and boxes for years and years? Yep… those! I know that Jane will make it fun!

"I knew that it would be improved, but I never imagined how incredibly much it would be improved!"
I have experienced both tangible and intangible benefits from working with Jane. Our basement and attic have gone from being areas that I dreaded visiting to areas that I am happy to visit! I can find things so much more easily, and it's far easier to keep our stuff organized. More broadly, I'm finding that I am approaching other parts of the house differently, purging rather than piling, and trying to think ahead about how to keep clutter at bay. There are definite psychological benefits to physical organization! I've been most surprised by how much better our space feels. I knew that it would be improved, but I never imagined how incredibly much it would be improved! Our storage areas no longer feel like storage areas; Jane took random bits of artwork (that were piled and stored) and hung them on the walls in our attic, transforming a storage space into a space that is visually appealing and, well, happy!

"I (now) have the urge to just go stand in my basement closet!"
Jane traveled to St. Louis to help me edit my home and lighten my load. She happily went through closets, shelves, and the very cluttered, dark side of the basement with me. After eight trips to the Goodwill, she re-arranged rooms, shelves, and we went shopping for the finishing touches. The house feels lighter, I know where everything is now, and I have the urge to just go stand in my basement closet! Jane's energy, her positive attitude, as well as her intuitive vision of how to arrange things has helped me begin to picture the next phase of my life. Thank you Jane!

"Jane helped us sort it all out of chaos with a calm head and such great energy."
It was a very, very hot August. My brother and I were working hard to move my mother out of her apartment after 27 years of living there. Jane agreed to help us figure out what to donate, throw, and give away. We woke up each morning and got a lot done with Jane guiding us. So many dishes, clothes, papers, books. Jane helped us sort it all out of chaos with a calm head and such great energy.
Also she can rearrange furniture like no one else. From a lost-looking living room, into an intimate cozy nest of chairs, pillows, low tables, books and lighting. She is truly a wonder-

Jane is gentle but also fierce...I can feel her heart is in it every single minute!"
Jane is honestly THE BEST at what she does. I have worked with several editors/organizers and no one comes close to the value she gives and the impact she makes. She has an innate ability to listen, inspire, motivate and get 'er done! I am always AMAZED at how much we accomplish together.
Jane is gentle but also fierce. She has a wonderful ability to keep me on task and whenever I start to feel stuck, break it down so that we keep moving. She understands the mental, emotional, and physical energy this work takes and is constantly reading my energy levels and assessing the next best thing to do. I completely trust her hunches about where to start and/or stop and take a break.
I originally found Jane because I wanted to move back to California but I had a storage unit full of "stuff" literally blocking me from making the move. The storage closet represented all the physical things and emotional attachments to these physical things that were keeping me stuck, fearful and miserable. When I realized I didn't have to do it alone and that it was ok to get help in this area (that felt so unbelievably shameful inside) everything shifted and changed. It was truly amazing how much lighter, joyful, confident and present in my life I felt. I could finally relax in my home and life because needing to take care of all the things "hiding" behind closed doors were taken care of.
Not only did I move across the country but there were other benefits as well...I think all the releasing we did helped me welcome new love into my life (just got married !!!) lose 15lbs, feel more like an adult and feel ready to transition into the next phase of my life. Lots of changes! The work effects everything!
Jane's energy is amazing. Truly. Her ability to keep at it and genuine desire and passion to help get my home in the best alignment with who I am right now and where I am headed is touching. I can really feel her heart is in it every minute of our time together.
Thank you for everything Jane! You really have been a life saver at such critical times in my life. I am your biggest fan!!

"Jane shares in enjoyment of the happy memories and keeps you focused on the goal of an organized, peaceful and positive environment."
Working with Jane you can organize your home and life faster than you every thought possible. Uncluttering your life can be an emotional experience. Jane's positive energy prevents you from dwelling on decisions, or sadness, or the changes in your life that have led you to where you are and the need to get rid of your accumulated stuff. She shares in enjoyment of the happy memories and keeps you focused on the goal of an organized, peaceful and positive environment. She not only helps organize what you want to keep, but she will do the work to rid you of the stuff you no longer need. She uses environmentally friendly organizations that benefit the less fortunate, whenever possible. She knows where and how to get rid of almost anything. She even rented a truck for a few hours to get the large pieces of out my home. I wish I had discovered Jane earlier, and if I hadn't just moved away from Madison, I would hire her to come each year and help keep things from getting out of hand.

"She is a genius at the psychology of organization."
"Jane Antonovich is like no organizer I've ever come across. She brightens the room with her calm spirit and beauty, busted my shame around my awful clutter and inability to control it and freed me to dump a ton of stuff forever and actually be able to find the rest. Rather than impose a rigid system on me (I am a terrible and inconsistent rule follower) like a judgmental Mussolini, she created a system that emerged from my unique informational needs and created a fun colorful system that is easy for my creative self to use. I went from having an entire storage unit and apartment full of over twenty years of accumulated clutter from three different houses and offices to having all my stuff in one place, in colorful and labelled bins, where I can actually get to it when I need it. My friends and colleagues used to make fun of my disorganization. I learned so much from Jane that now they ask my help. I hate to recommend Jane because I want her services all to myself. She is a genius at the psychology of organization. I feel blessed to work with her. She changed my life."

"...each session with Jane does loosen the grip"
"As a person with chronic paper/clutter syndrome, I´ve engaged a number of organizers to help me over the years. They all succeeded in providing symptomatic relief, which always felt good, but didn´t last very long. Jane, on the other hand has a way of engaging me in the process in a way that has led to small but incremental behavior changes. I´m not sure whether this will lead to a “cure” but each session with Jane does loosen the grip of this dysfunction a bit more. I did not believe that this was possible for me. Jane truly has a gift for this work."

"...positively delightful attitude towards doing something that I dread!"
After moving I had boxes of "stuff" that I hadn't even opened. Having your non-judgmental, positive energy by my side helped me get through it all, clean up my surroundings, rid myself of years of things I didn't use. Now I know what I have and where it is. You really simplified the tasks and I swear I don't know how we got so much done in that first session.
I also loved your tasteful aesthetic and decorating suggestions that incorporate your expertise in feng shui while complementing my own style. I love the mirror placement suggestion, and I know your table suggestion is spot-on perfect. It's pleasurable to be in my space now!
Thank you for your help and positively delightful attitude towards doing something that I dread! You are amazing!
