How to Get (& Stay!) Organized with Jen Robin of Life In Jeneral

Do you get a rush of excitement after you've organized your closet or cupboards? Or do you have certain areas in your home that you avoid like the plague because they're so disorganized and you just have no idea where to start? You're in luck!

Do you have trouble getting organized? Or are you really good at the initial set up but struggle to keep things neat and tidy? Well then this episode is for you! I’m joined by professional organizer and Jen Robin to learn how she got started, what’s next for her business, and get some of her tips on getting (and staying!) organized.

As a personal assistant, Jen realized her passion for turning chaos into tranquility and found herself fascinated by the process of organizing people’s homes to better serve their lives. She soon founded Life In Jeneral, a professional organizing company that approaches decluttering with empathy, strategy, and sheer ambition. Jen combines her expertise with a serving spirit to guide clients through the purging process and teach them the tools they need to stay organized for a lifetime.

During this episode, Jen walks us through how she connects with clients to find their vision and provides tips on how to get started organizing your next project. She also explores her upcoming projects and shares what motivates her to continue giving back in any way she can.

During our discussion, we talked about how overwhelming the start of a project can be and how this fear of not knowing where to start can hold you back. This doesn’t just apply to organizing your closet; it could be the fear of jumping into a new career or transitioning to a new phase in your life. Jen’s advice? “You just start.” She emphasizes how important it is to accept that nothing will ever be perfect, whether that’s in business or in life, and that there is a beauty in being “perfectly imperfect”.

Jen’s focus on giving back through her collaboration with charities and her commitment to genuinely understanding every client’s needs is truly motivating. Everyone has a story and she focuses on helping her clients climb out of the clutter and get back to experiencing life by thinking outside of the box and finding solutions that fit their individual needs.

My favorite takeaway from Jen’s story is that everyone can do this, they just need the tools to do it. She has made it her mission to teach others how to get organized but, more importantly, she also teaches them how to maintain it. Our discussion was full of uplifting encouragement and invaluable advice. I’m so glad that Jen was able to join me for this episode, and I hope you enjoy her insight as much as I have!
