Home Reset Session
Not all overwhelm shows up as clutter. Sometimes it’s the routines, paperwork, and everyday tasks that quietly pile up.
The Home Reset Session is designed for the behind-the-scenes work of running a household – the tasks, routines, and logistics that can quietly pile up and feel just as heavy as physical clutter.
From administrative tasks to practical household support, we help you catch up, reset systems, and create breathing room – so daily life feels more manageable.
- Household paperwork and document organization
- Calendar, scheduling, and routine support
- Creating simple systems for mail, records, and daily responsibilities
- Support during busy seasons or life transitions
- Follow-through on lingering to-do items
- Helping homes get back to functional when things fall behind
This service focuses on organization, systems, and household support – not deep cleaning or housekeeping.
Clutter by the Numbers
Looking for motivation to declutter your home?
You’re not alone.
Clutter affects more than just your space. Clutter impacts your time, stress levels, mental clarity, and overall well-being. These decluttering statistics reveal just how common, and costly, disorganization can be:
| 300,000 | The average number of items in an American home |
| 2.5 days per year (60+ hours!) | Time spent looking for lost items |
| 25% | Households that can’t park in their garage due to clutter |
| $2.7 Billion-yes, that is with a B! | What Americans spend annually replacing lost items |
| 80% | Of what we keep, we rarely or never use |
Let’s get started and bring calm
back to your space!
Our Process
This simple, supportive process guides our work, from home organizing to ongoing household support.
STEP 1: DECLUTTER
We start by thoughtfully reviewing your belongings to determine what you use, need, and value. This step clears out the excess and creates a clean foundation, helping you regain clarity and control over your space.
STEP 2: ORGANIZE
With a fresh start, we implement customized organizing systems that are both functional and easy to maintain. Every item is given a purpose and a place, supporting your daily routines and reducing stress.
STEP 3: MAINTAIN
We design simple systems and routines that support long-term success. Optional maintenance sessions help adjust systems as life changes, so your home continues to work for you. Our goal is to help you stay organized, not just get organized.
Hi, I’m Anita – founder and owner of A Functional Home! I am a former social worker turned professional organizer, passionate about helping people create spaces that support real life.
With a strong foundation in empathy, structure, and a judgment-free approach, I help clients navigate clutter with compassion and clarity, not pressure or perfectionism.
My background in social work taught me the power of listening, meeting people where they are, and understanding how stress shows up in every day life. I bring those skills to every session, taking a holistic approach to organizing that considers your habits, routines, family dynamics and goals, not just the stuff. The result? Systems that work in real life, not just for a Pinterest photo.
My goal is simple: help you spend less time managing stuff and more time living.
Transforming Spaces. Empowering Lives.
Here’s a few fun facts about me:
🐾 Animal Enthusiast – I’ve never met a furry friend I didn’t love.
💛 Golden Girls Fan – Dorothy Zbornak is my spirit animal.
🎸 Gen X Girl – Still knows how to wind a cassette with a pencil (and listens to ‘80s hairbands while organizing)
I’m so happy you’re here!
Let’s create a space that feels as good as it looks!
