Disorganisation contributes significantly to stress, and leaves us feeling that instead of time for the important and fun things in life, there is just a never-ending pile of stuff. As an experienced housecleaner, organiser, and psychologist, Kathleen Kendall-Tackett has observed first-hand the therapeutic benefits of an organised home. She has witnessed a transformation in her clients’ ability to manage time and stress once they learn simple techniques for creating a sense of order and serenity in their homes.
