Hello! My name is Kirsten Bradley and I founded Functionally Organized, LLC in March 2023 in order to pursue my passion for organizing!
My parents and husband will tell you that I have not always been an organized person. I used to have piles of clothes on the floor, mountains of paperwork sitting around, and a lot of items stored "just in case".
I started watching shows that encouraged decluttering and saw improvements in my home each time, but I still felt like I had a lot of stuff. I would tell myself:
"Maybe I will fit into those pants again someday."
"I need to keep these craft supplies for the kids." (even though my kids are not crafty).
"I haven't used this appliance in 2 years, but you never know when we might need it."
"I don't really like it, but "so-and-so" gave it to me."
As we all know, Covid gave us the gift of time...and a lot of it! After spending months upon months at home, I really started challenging those statements:
"Seeing those pants that don't fit makes me feel bad. I don't want to feel bad."
"My kids aren't crafty. That's okay. They have a lot of other great qualities and other hobbies that take up a lot of space too. I need to let these go."
"If I haven't used it in the last year, I probably won't!"
""So-and-so" gave me this other item that I really do love so I don't need this one."
Once I started really challenging the lies that I had been telling myself, I started seeing real changes in my house. It felt so liberating to finally have homes for the things I truly needed and loved, but it was even more amazing to be able to find them!!
I have been an Occupational Therapist (OT) for almost 20 years. The skills I learned in this career are beneficial to a lot of areas in life including organizing! OT's are trained specifically in task analysis, or breaking tasks down to examine the smaller parts. With organizing, I can utilize task analysis in two ways. Looking at the way you use your space allows me to see what makes the most sense functionally for your home. I can also use this to figure out the best way to break down the actual organizing into smaller steps to make it more manageable.
My favorite part of being an OT is seeing people get back to doing the things they love. As a professional organizer, I have the same passion. Having a messy house makes everything more difficult. I want to help you get your area organized so you can spend more time doing the things that truly make you happy!
