Welcome!

Hi! I’m Emily Beaversen, the founder of So Simple Organization.

If you’re struggling with organization, I can relate. I was the kid with a messy room who never put her dishes away. By my late twenties, my apartment was literally stuffed with paperwork, decor, clothes, and books.

Then, while housesitting for a friend-of-a-friend, I experienced what it was like to live in a clutter-free environment. I felt calmer, more focused, and happier when I wasn’t surrounded by piles of clothes and paperwork. I decided to declutter my own home.

It took me years of effort and thousands of dollars to get rid of things I no longer wanted. But it was worth it. Getting organized had a positive effect on so many aspects of my life beyond the way my house looked — I procrastinate less, I spend less money, and I have more time for the things that are important to me.

I started So Simple Organization in 2019 to make it easier for other people to experience the benefits of organization.

Today, I am a proud member of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing professionals (NAPO) and have Level I Certificates of Study in ADHD and in Chronic Disorganization from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD).

A bit more about me personally: I’m originally from the Pittsburgh area and moved back after living in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. I’m also the mom of two young kids, have two rambunctious dogs, and love running, hiking, and dancing.
