Organize Your Life

Supposed To and Have To

December 21, 2015



This time of year, I hear a lot of statements like, “I am supposed to get gifts for all of my kids’ teachers.” Or “I have to bake dozens of cookies for the neighbors.”

I am here to tell you these rules are made up in your head.

I would invite you to stop all the Have Tos and Supposed Tos, especially this time of year. You don’t have to do anything. You may want to do these things, but you don’t have to.

And, I hate to break it to you, but all these people you think you have to run around for, are not waiting on pins and needles for your gifts. They are busy thinking about themselves. I bet they would not notice if you did not get them anything this year.

So I invite you to change your vocabulary from “I have to” to “I want to.” It’s empowering because it’s the truth, and it will make you happier.

And if you don’t want to do it, don’t.

Leah Friedman
Hello!
I'm a professional organizer in Raleigh, North Carolina, helping people declutter their homes and work spaces.

Testimonials

After working with Leah Friedman, the room looked and felt calm, rather than chaotic. When I am overwhelmed again, I will certainly hire her expertise and energy. What an investment in order, calm and piece of mind!

Leah helped me to organize several spaces in my home that have been on my “to do” list for years. She arrived on time, ready to tackle the projects, and made something I dreaded doing lots of fun! She never judges, is always encouraging and gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend her!
Anne ShermanChapel Hill
Leah Friedman turned a wretched job into fun! It’s true. She even had me laughing. She is worth every penny. We plowed through two closets. They are now nicely organized, and I know where to find my clothes. I even know what I own. Leah hauled about six bags of give-aways to Interact. I heartily recommend Leah. She gets the job done! She a combo of firm, gentle and fun. Just what I needed.

I love the way my master closet looks, and my husband is very happy, too. Thank you so much for helping me through the whole process. I still can’t believe how much work we got done.
