With Agile Life Design™ you will gain insights, knowledge, skills, habits and processes that will empower you to start taking action immediately to reduce anxiety and overwhelm and create more success, confidence and peace in your life. I founded NEAT & SIMPLE LIVING ™ in 2005 and to help people transform their lives and experience the life-changing positive energy, stress relief, self-confidence and self-esteem that comes from discovering they CAN get reasonably organized! In 2008, I founded Lotus Bridge, LLC to design, develop and deliver multidisciplinary, integrative learning and life coaching, giftedness, productivity, motivational, ADHD coaching resources to help people achieve optimal performance, cultivation of their "raw" gifts and ultimately, realization of their potential. In 2011, I built on this foundation and gave birth to Agile Life Design™ - a mindset, skills and tools for Cultivating “agility over stability” AKA rolling with the FLOW. Reclaiming your right to design your life and work to FIT your unique sensibilities. Refocusing our attention from self "control" to ”cooperating” with ourselves and each other to make life work. Embracing the art of “trigger re-design” and “spontaneous organizing” to gracefully change habits, heal your relationship with yourself , release the clutter, and fill the holes in your soul that current habits and possessions are simply not able to fill. In 2012, I'm working to share the tools for using “The Healing Power of Agile Life Design™ to heal your relationships with the “8 Dances of Life™” and design chronic overwhelm, indecision, and exhaustion out of your life - from the outside in and the inside out. I combine my coaching services with learning programs because, contrary to what many people believe, you actually can learn to enjoy organizing - no matter how much you hate it now. Organizing is a set of skills and concepts you CAN learn - but you can't learn them by having others do it for you. It often also requires emotional healing + love as well as experiential learning, feedback, and "tweaking" that only personal and / or group coaching can provide. Learning in a safe group environment with people going through the same challenges enhances and accelerates learning. It works so well I generally only work one-on-one with people who participate in my small group learning experiences. I have found that integrating learning and coaching in a way that addresses the psychological, biological (e.g., giftedness, ADD, Creativity, Personality Type) and emotional aspects of organizing as well as the technical aspects is the best way to truly conquer chronic disorganization . Once you are good at designing your own organizing solutions to fit you, I promise you will enjoy doing it! I know because I wasn't born organized either. I'm a natural sentimental packrat. I had to learn on my own over many years to change the way I relate to my things so I could release clutter to make room for the future I truly wanted. Because traditional complex organizing methods never worked well for me, I had to figure out how to organize for my creative personality style - using extremely simple and creative approaches to DESIGNING custom solutions. It changed my life! I was able to change my attitude toward organizing, my habits and move forward to create the life I always dreamed of. Today, organizing and clutter clearing is my number one go-to strategy for relieving stress - no longer is organizing and clutter-releasing the source of my stress.. It's not always easy to do, but it CAN be done. Having support from someone whose only concern is making your life better and helping you reach your personal goals makes the process, easier, faster and much more enjoyable. My greatest reward is helping people go from feeling overwhelmed and defeated to feeling confident and empowered - like they can let go of clutter, organize anything AND maintain it! "Working with you has changed my whole life and saved my marriage. My husband says it was the best money we ever spent. My kids are so happy we aren't fighting all the time now... It's actually easy to clean now. You are AWESOME! Thanks for giving me and my family a chance at a better life." Sandra C.

Why become organized? The benefits of organizing... Because being organized allows you to live your life the way you choose to - not as a slave to your stuff and to other people's priorities and expectations! You don't have to be perfect or rigid about it. Just being reasonably organized enhances your self-confidence, self-respect, and overall well being. Letting go of clutter and becoming more organized DRAMATICALLY lowers stress and improves your physical, mental and emotional health! Effective organization allows you to have more time and energy for the things that matter most to you, like spending time with family, pursuing hobbies, eating healthy, exercising or just hanging out with friends. I think of it as "organizing around purpose. " The idea is that if you aren't passionate about what you want, or clear about what you value, where is the motivation to get and stay organized going to come from? Once you are clear about where you want to be and what's been holding you back, you will have more motivation and drive to overcome the obstacles. If you aren't making progress on your organizing goals because you have a hard time making decisions or are unsure of how to go about it, then I'll work with you to establish an easy decision making "process" and "criteria" that work with your personality type so that you will be empowered for the rest of your life to make decisions more easily! "I've worked with organizers in the past, but Ariane is different. She doesn't impose a one-size-fits-all organizational stategy, but develops one tailored to who you are and how you work. Ariane is not only interested in getting you organized, but in making sure that she leaves you with a system that helps you to stay organized. With her help, I'm more productive than I've been in years!" R.D. Read more client references here What is NEAT & SIMPLE LIVING about?
