Hi, I am Jenn Dickel
I’ve always loved the kinds of tiny details others hate. I grew up in a rare combo of chaos and order. I crave order, but can make chaos function surprisingly well.
It wasn’t until I was working as an Operations Manager in a warehouse that I realized this gift brings me joy while being a nightmare to most other people.
This was almost 20 years ago. I was totally in my element when I was handed the keys to a 4,000-foot warehouse full of delicate medical equipment and tradeshow materials. Each piece, with its own set of tiny moving parts and multiple accessories, helped complete the procedure puzzle. Each part and set, sometimes multiple sets, had its own final destination in any one of the international locations we served. None of my coworkers wanted to tackle the job, but to me, it was an exciting puzzle! Armed with multiple colored markers, I sketched out a plan that would allow us to manage everything smoothly.
This is where my love of organizing and getting people what they need really started to flourish. I designed kits to make working in the field easier. These kits had 1000’s of pieces to manage along with additional items that could be requested. In 2008, I remember having lunch with my boss at the time and she asked me, “What do you really want to do?”. I thought for a moment and said, “I want to help women live life better, to succeed, to thrive, and to enjoy life, not just endure it.” That is when the first seed was truly planted.
One of the greatest joys in life is to have a perfectly* organized home!
The second greatest joy is delegating that job to someone else (like me!)
If you’re reading this page, I bet that you already appreciate the value of a tidy home. There is an inner peace and calm that comes from being able to find your stuff and get out of the door on time every day. There is a sense of, “I’ve got it all together” that comes from having an organized home. A warm functioning environment where you can enjoy time for you and your family.
Order provides a deep satisfaction, sense of control, inspiration and a new level of productivity. It can mean many things.
It can mean many things. Maybe for you it’s:
*Progress is better than perfection. No body is perfect and none of us will reach the perfection level.
Getting dressed in the morning from a closet that clearly displays your clothing options, so you can look good without the struggle in the morning. Yes, please!
Turning that “Hot Mess” spare room into a brand new office space, fitness room, meditation area, the possibilities are endless! A space that centers you and gives you room for new ideas for your productivity and growth.
A painless move that lets you get out of moving boxes and perfectly set up in your new space without the stress and annoyance of decluttering and planning by yourself.
It all sounds great, right?
And while you might have been planning to tackle these projects yourself, the reality is that you already live a FULL life (kids, groceries, work, laundry, groceries again). There’s just not enough time in a day.
What if you had a trusted partner who could swoop in and help you get more accomplished in one power afternoon than you might get done in a whole year on your own?
That’s where someone like me comes in. I’ve built a whole business around solving organizational puzzles. And it would be an honor to help you declutter, downsize, organize, move, and manage any job you can throw at me.
Fast forward several years…
…graduate college, build a home, be a caregiver to my grandma, manage multiple deaths in the family, build a department & multiple teams, lots of prayer and contemplation I read this during my quiet time one morning:
A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NIV
After reading I reflected on all the the different seasons, the changes to circumstances, the needs of each season, and then the light went off in 2016 over Christmas break. It’s time to start the business.
Seasonal Navigation Organizing was born on a cold day one Christmas as I sat in PJ’s. The Tenacious Clutter Tamer became a reality. Assisting other women with their current seasons of life.
Ever since that day it is my mission to help women adapt, enjoy, and be able to find what helps them live their best life in “this season” of life. Navigating the transitions to new seasons and leaving old seasons behind.
So, if you are stuck, overwhelmed, and not sure where to start or what to do, I can help you!
And it would be my honor to make this a pleasant experience where you get to feel excited about a new home, a new chapter, a new season (without the stress!).
