Client Reviews

Ellen’s course has helped to improve my life! She teaches you how to prioritize information flow whether it be work or non work related and how to address it: either by responding to it, filing in a matter where it can be easily accessed or discarding it. Although there were many lessons I took away from this course- the not to do list, the deal with it now approach or learning to say no without feeling guilty, the best lessons for me dealt with clutter. I realized why stacks are bad; they don’t represent organization, and they are not accessible. Also, she teaches you that you must have a structure to follow in order to be organized. Her filing system shows you a structure that makes sense because it has a place for everything. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!

Working with Ellen has really helped me focus on establishing priorities and systematically work toward my ultimate goals. It has been invaluable to have someone like Ellen help hold me accountable and guide me along this path and to assist with evaluating all the small and large decisions encountered along the way to keep me on track… I can see that this experience has already helped me make permanent favorable changes that will stay with me for a long time to come.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the time you save me by bringing your organizational skills to my life. Both in my home and professional life, I can better keep my priorities straight. I am more aware of the issues that need resolution immediately, and I am able to locate documents for review and disposition in a timely fashion. I wish I had met you sooner!!!

I cannot tell you how happy I was to tell [my colleagues] that my office is now clean and organized—no more stacks of papers on my desk, on my credenza, filing cabinet and floor! I felt like I could not say enough to truly express how much of a difference it has made in life and how wonderful it feels to finally be organized.

I also told [my colleagues] about the GO system and the Paper Tiger Software, which has enabled me to become organized and more productive. I told them that I would HIGHLY recommend you and your training! It has been worth every my minute of my time and every dollar that I have spent to accomplish what you have helped me to accomplish!

“Before Ellen”: Eager and ready to work on my yoga and related projects, I walk into my studio and my energy is instantly depleted. I feel there is too much out of place, too much still to do before I can concentrate on Yoga practice, or much of anything else.

“After Ellen”: I walk into my orderly space and I feel instantly rejuvenated.
Having my area organized helps me feel energized and I am able to maximize my time on working, rather than wasting time straightening up to be able to work. I am more productive, focused and can concentrate on whatever task I have set myself. The system Ellen has put in place helps me keep the area orderly and well-functioning, and I feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I enter it. Now I have both more time and more energy to do what I set out to do each day.

I worked with Ellen prior to moving from one home to another to get a system to organize my records. We worked together to put in a system to allow me to weed through the mountain of paperwork in my office. This system has given me more of my week back for other things instead of being constantly overwhelmed with paperwork. It also allowed me to retrieve important records after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina. She has been a great influence in my quest to get organized and stay that way.

I’m always interested in new ways to become better organized and more efficient, and so I was excited to attend the GO System Seminar. The GO System is a simple and easy to follow way of organizing tasks and increasing productivity. It provides a proven approach to getting things done and eliminating procrastination. I have successfully implemented the system in my day job and plan to use it to help me accomplish more at home. In addition to doing an excellent job of teaching the principles of the GO System, Ellen shared a number of other ideas and a long list of valuable resources. I highly recommend the course!

I always thought that multi-tasking was a strength until I realized that I produce better results when I give my full attention to one task. The GO Systems Training helped put me on a behavior path in which I now do one thing at a time – well, almost!

Ellen Martin was such a help to me! I felt paralyzed to begin organizing anything. Ellen gave me much needed direction, focus, motivation, and ideas. Also, I had instant gratification! Sometimes, after the tragedy we’ve all endured [Hurricane Katrina] we just need a little help. Ellen was that help. Instead of focusing on loss I could focus on rebuilding our lives.

Thank you so much! I will highly recommend her to everyone!

Thank you so much for everything you did to help us get ready for our trip to England last month. You were a lifesaver, and we so enjoyed working with you. You’ll be pleased to know that we’ve started tackling the PAPERS, and this has been much more manageable thanks to you. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again when one or both of us is back in New Orleans!

Your seminar was an excellent presentation of many areas of organization that “challenge” me! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I look forward to working with you in the future.

You have been such a tremendous help. I feel liberated. It’s like having a clean conscience: no ugly surprises lurking in the piles of paper on my desk, no unfinished projects stacked in corners, no drawers filled with useless bits and pieces of who-knows-what. Now, I can actually find what I’m looking for, I can get dressed in a hurry when I need to, and I don’t have to worry if somebody drops in unexpectedly. What a relief! And the system we worked out together takes advantage of my space and my personality and habits. It may not work for anybody else but it seems to be working for me. That kind of personalized attention has really made the difference. Thank you.
