The Art of Order: Fed Ex + Me

Like the humble beginnings of many other small and mid-size companies, The Art of Order shares a similar story of like-minded companies that are now a success. Rather than a big bang inception where everything fell in place by chance, most of our success was the result of hard work, organization and planning.

And as a coincidence, or not, one of the many focused services we now offer is organization and planning for small businesses. Our ideas were brought to life from sketches we either had in our minds or on paper, and in time, many other companies and homeowners saw the benefits of our company’s services.

Now that we’re an established firm, we are very excited to be recognized by the infamous Fed Ex + Me program. Our involvement in the community means a lot, since it was this very community who helped mold us into a non-stop entrepreneurial force. Our goal is to provide a success cycle, just like a college freshman who’s mentored by a senior,  or a new baby who is being carefully trained by the prying eyes of its mother, we hope to be nurturers of new upcoming small businesses who will in turn pass on strategies for success to other newcomers on the scene. Yes it’s a constant cycle and we’re absolutely sure that you were told to network with positive minded and success-driven individuals,  if you ever wanted to make it big.

The truth is, every business could use simplicity and organization. Whether this means space planning to make the workplace’s architecture most productive, while keeping employees comfortable; or conventional organizational strategies for keeping everything in place. A simple example is implementing an incoming bin and outgoing bin in a central area. We can even offer systematic organization strategies like responding to emails or planning meetings at dedicated times, rather than them being fluttered on a whim throughout the work day.

 The Art of Order is here to bring order to your business chaos. We are thrilled to teach these skills to anyone listening and we know it will only be to your benefit. The skills you learn can be applied to all areas of your life including your home, school or work.

How Creating a Custom Closet Can Help You Get Organized

By Lori Martin, Owner of The Art of Order

In today’s world, it’s easy to get buried under a mountain of stuff.  If you’re not careful, you’re liable to never get out from under the clutter.  That’s where having a custom closet built comes into play.  Not only will it give you the space that you need to house all of your clothing and footwear, it will also give you the peace of mind of knowing that everything is in its own place.
Gone are the days of rifling through piles of shirts and sweaters to find something to wear to work.  Having a professional organizer come into your home and set up a closet system for you will be a blessing.  The reason behind the statement is this.  A custom closet in Austin is worth its weight in gold.  It will keep you from stacking your purchases on a chair or the top of your dresser.  It will help you control clutter by eliminating it in the first place.
If you share a closet with other members of your household, you know how frustrating it can be to find their belongings mixed in with yours.  You don’t have to worry about your spouse hogging your side of the closet when you have an interior designer Austin evaluate your space.  He or she will come into your home armed with knowledge and ideas on how to make the most out of your current closet.
Implementing a custom closet into your home can be one of the best gifts that you give yourself.  Being the type of person who is pressed for time, it can be very beneficial to you to have everything you need to wear right at your fingertips day in and day out.
