About

Hello! I’m Lela

& I’m organized-ish

I’m a former professional organizer turned full-time blogger, and I do things a little differently around here than the organization content you’re used to. You won’t find unrealistically staged areas, perfect containers lined up in rows with useless gaps in between, and you definitely won’t see me arranging my refrigerator in rainbow order.

I spend every single day of my life helping busy people get their homes and lives Organized-ish so they have more time for the things they care about and spend less time searching for the scissors.

fun facts about myself

  1. I’m obsessed with denim, so plan on seeing a lot of it here.
  2. My rescue dog sheds more than a wool rug store, so I’m rarely seen without a vacuum in my hand.
  3. I name everything. Plants, rugs, furniture, stray cats, appliances, and neighbors. Yes, I know my neighbors have names, but mine are better.
  4. I’ve got a sassy sense of humor. Just making sure you’re down with that.

The biggest question I get asked: how to pronounce my name: say it like LEE-luh. 🙂

Who else lives with me

I am married to my partner Nigel, I have a teenage son named Noah, the sweetest dog in the world named Winston, and three trouble making cats named Anakin, Marty, and Doc.

Where I live

I live in East Tennessee, right outside Chattanooga. We have a good mix of all four seasons here, but Springtime is definitely my favorite.

What I do for work

I left my day job in 2021 and now I run my blog and printable planner company full time. My partner Nigel left his job in 2023 to join me here at Organized-ish.

I am no longer offering in-home organizing services, but every once in a while I open up applications for special projects. Keep an eye on my Instagram Stories for those opportunities.

If you cussed at your bathroom cabinet, drawers, o If you cussed at your bathroom cabinet, drawers, or countertop sometime in the last week, here’s your sign to do a quick declutter session. 😁
All you need is ten minutes. Don’t organize, don’t clean, don’t rearrange. Just take out the things you no longer want or need, along with anything that shouldn’t be there.
You’ll be shocked at how much stuff you pull out in ten minutes. 🤯

How often do you swap out your @erincondren planne How often do you swap out your @erincondren planner covers? If you have a bunch stashed away, you can store them on an old coil.
I use coils from used-up notebooks to organize my interchangeable covers by season, category, and size, and I even have a whole coil just for Star Wars covers. 😁
