Home and Office Organization Feedback
Client Comments:
"After accumulating years of papers and receipts that I thought were 'important' and filing them in more than one location, I thought the job of organizing my papers would take hours and be terribly painful. Linda made the task seem almost effortless and believe it or not... FUN! She knows what she is doing, and does not waste time getting to the job at hand. I recommend Altogether Organized for anyone who knows what they need in organization, but doesn't think they have the time or fortitude to do it alone."
L.B., Highland Park
“I can’t thank you enough for helping me get organized. You’ve made sense of all the things I was having trouble getting a handle on. Your ideas, patience and sense of humor have helped to make torturous chores tolerable. Thanks again.”
Missie Bender, Glencoe
“Linda did an outstanding job of helping me organize my basement, kitchen and child’s room. She works quickly and efficiently. Her systems make it easy to maintain a clutter-free environment.”
M.G., Highland Park
“It was like magic. Our house went from disarray to having everything put away and in order.”
Jody Franson, Wilmette
"Altogether Organized is the best investment I have ever made. They have taken a very complex office in which it was almost impossible to find anything and immediately improved it so much that I save hours of time. This is definitely a feel-good expense because I always feel better after each meeting."
E.G., Highland Park
“How do you transform a gloomy storage room inside a landmarked school? A room so stuffed with potential “art stuff” that the human eye could not see the floor? Call Linda at Altogether Organized and watch a disaster turn into a creative spot for storage and future projects. The bonus was Linda smiled throughout the entire process.”
Sheri Lucterhand, Elementary School Art Teacher
“If you are ready to “get organized” and you want to do it with efficiency, fun and great professional guidance then call Linda Goldman. She is the best!”
Debra High Altschul, Northfield
"We are still in awe of the way you not only turned what had become a 'storeroom' back into an inviting Guest Room, but also transformed our Living Room and Dining Room back into rooms in which it is a pleasure to entertain! And you did all this in only a matter of hours! Even if we’d taken before and after pictures no one would believe them.”
W.R., Highland Park
“I would like to thank you for all the help you gave me in organizing my 'messy' office. After 5 years of just stacking papers in piles, with your system I can now find things in my files and drawers.”
P.E., Lincolnwood

“The presentation you made to the Men’s Club at the Highland Park Senior Center was definitely “all together” and very well organized. Your explanations made everyone, especially me, come away feeling that we, too, could achieve an uncluttered life. I would recommend it to anyone and have taken your suggestions and put them into use, quite successfully.”
Marla Schactel, Program Supervisor, Highland Park Senior Center
“I can’t tell you how many people have thanked me for having you present to us today. People really got a lot of tips and are eager to go home and use them. Thank you for giving all of us the boost we need to start applying your ideas to our everyday like. “It was a wonderful start to our Lunch and Learn sessions.”

“Linda is such a delight to work with. She helped me to organize my kitchen and I no longer waste time looking for the utensil I need because everything has a home. She also set up a system for me to keep the papers in control and not overwhelming my counters. She is the best!!”
Chrissy Colburn, Deerfield, Illinois
"Altogether Organized helped my family to stop the daily chaos created by two small children and two working parents. Instead of the chaos, we now have a place for everything we need and we actually have more space to live and play. Cleaning up at the end of the day is easy because there is somewhere for everything to go."
Sarah Weil, Chicago
"Linda and Altogether Organized were a fabulous discovery! As a busy, full-time professional, I had no time to organize a room, let alone a house with children. Papers had piled up and there were no systems to stay organized. In her wonderfully professional but gentle manner, Linda efficiently and carefully helped us shed paper and adopt new ways to make life easier. The whole house feels many pounds lighter!"
C.R., Highland Park
“Linda and her team have organized our entire home. In areas where I thought I was already organized, Linda’s simple changes and suggestions have made a remarkable difference in efficiency and functionality. Ultimately, these changes have saved me so much time since they have increased my productivity.
“Linda, Kim and Lisa make the organizing process fun. Everything now has a place which makes staying organized a breeze. Overall, my “clutter anxiety” has eased and I love being in my home now. As far as I’m concerned, Altogether Organized is now a part of my regular home maintenance. I only wish I had met them sooner.”
Lisa Gruchot, Glenview, Illinois
“I had been wanting to organize my closets for over a year. Although my home is very neat and tidy, All my closets and cabinets were very poorly organized and in some cases, a total mess. I was overwhelmed and could not figure out where to start. Kim from Altogether Organized was fantastic! I hate to part with my money, but I can honestly say that it was money extremely well spent. My closets and cabinets look great and I can find everything.”
Ann C., Northbrook, Illinois
"Meeting and hiring Linda was one of the best things that happened to my home. She organized every room as well as my photographs from three generations of family. As a bonus, she is great to work with, making otherwise tedious chores, fun. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone."
Merle Simon, Bannockburn
"I am so thrilled with my purchase from Altogether Organized, it was worth every penny! Ridding myself of physical clutter helped me reduce my mental clutter making me feel more relaxed and less anxious in my home environment."

"Linda Goldman has helped me transform my home -- from attic to basement -- into a well organized and more attractive place to live and work. She has implemented organizational systems that are easy to maintain in rooms throughout the house. I have recommended her enthusiastically to my friends."
L.W., Winnetka
"It's easy to become hooked on the shopping networks, with their charming hosts and fine products. And it's fun to receive boxes in the mail from catalogs but after a few years, my home had become impassable as well as impossible. Linda and Kim helped me let go of the emotions involved with keeping all of the thousands of things I didn't need. They were gentle and firm in countering my reasons for keeping these things and room by room I reclaimed my space. They also helped me change destructive behavior patterns, develop realistic criteria for what I truly need and create systems for keeping my home in order. Keeping my home clutter free is an ongoing process but I am comitted to do so. With increased self awareness and the help of a therapist I have learned which situations trigger my impulses to buy. Now I have a home that is organized and beautiful. When I feel clutter accumulating, I pick up the phone and call Linda or Kim. It's fun as well as productive and the task is not overwhelming with their help, it's a pleasure!"
Kathy, Evanston
"After just a few hours with you, my clutter is gone and everything seems to have a place. This has truly left me with a sense of clairty and calm. Thank you. Thank you."
M.B., Deerfield
“Altogether Organized helped me set up my home office in a way I could have never done alone. My time with them was by far the best investment I've made all year. By the time my day with the Altogether Organized team was over I was already managing my to-do list differently! I now have a home office with a totally customized, easy-to-maintain organization system. Altogether Organized also provided me with the training and tools to continue on my own. Thanks so much for your help--I'm already less stressed and can't wait to start the next room!”
Lynn Miller, Deerfield
"I wish we owned a tiny Linda Goldman we could take out of the closet -- from a shelf she would have neatly arranged for the purpose -- and switch her on whenever we need her. She has totally changed the way we live. We now have places for all our stuff and so much less stuff! She helped us throw out years of things we didn't need and arrange and protect years of things we did need but often couldn't find. She is warm, thoughtful, empathetic and always smiling. She doesn't take over; she helps you do what you want done in a manner that suits you. We are also extremely fond of her wonderful associate, Kim. We would take a tiny Kim for the shelf in the closet too, if one were available. Because there are no tiny Linda's and no tiny Kim's, we'll continue to have them come over from time to time to tune the house up when it begins to run down."
