Hi, I'm Sam—a Certified Professional Organizer® based in the San Francisco Bay Area and the voice behind Simply Organized. This blog has been my passion project since 2010, and it's where I get to share everything I've learned from organizing hundreds of homes. You'll find real strategies that work in real life, honest product recommendations, project transformations, and the organizing philosophy that guides all my work: maintainable over perfect. Let's create a home that works beautifully for how you actually live.

It’s a New Year! Are you ready to organize your home into a simple, functional, happy environment that enables every family member to thrive? I’d love to be there in person to help each of you get organized. But the next best thing is joining my friend Toni’s Home Organization 101 Challenge starting January 7th. […]
