elizabeth@innovativelyorganized.com

From the Washington DC area, Elizabeth received her B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech.  She has experience in the defense contracting, transportation engineering and IT consulting industries.  While working for Accenture, an international consulting firm, she focused on creating and delivering training presentations for corporations, in addition to designing, building, and implementing new software systems for various government agencies, such as Homeland Security and TSA.
As the President of Innovatively Organized, which she founded in 2007, her goal is to work with busy executives and professionals to implement innovative solutions to solve their daily organizational challenges.  Through workflow assessments, process improvement, productivity tools and apps, she helps overwhelmed teams, business owners and individuals find more time in their day.  Elizabeth also delivers many seminars, presentations, and virtual webinars on a variety of organizing and productivity-related topics, including email organization and time management.A self-proclaimed “geek,” Elizabeth loves researching new productivity tools, apps and software.  Personally, her favorite tool to staying organized is a scanner, so she can be as paperless as possible.  Elizabeth is an active member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), where she has been on the Board of Directors for the past four years.  She is currently the President of the Seattle Area NAPO Chapter, and served the same role from May 2009 to April 2011.

Elizabeth is a member of the Seattle Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association, and can be found during football season cheering on the Hokies with her husband Eric and other VT alumni.  She enjoys drinking coffee and traveling every chance she can get.  She has already explored Greece, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Mexico, England, Denmark, France, Spain, Iceland, Germany, Belgium, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Half Puerto Rican, she speaks un poco Español and loves visiting her extended family.  She is still hoping to see Brazil and Australia.  Even though she misses the DC area and the East Coast, she loves calling Seattle home, especially the view from the top of the Space Needle.  Her favorite celebrity is Matt Lauer from “The Today Show” because he was quoted saying if he was not a news anchor, he would be a professional organizer!

Quick Tips

When organizing your paper files, avoid labels like “miscellaneous” and “random.”  You’ll encounter difficulties finding them later.
Schedule a time/date to file and clean your files (weekly or bi-monthly).
Try setting time limits for tasks that easily eat away your day, like responding to email or checking Facebook.
Use cloud services as a convenient way to access all your information while you’re on-the-go, through your laptop or your phone.
Use unexpected free time wisely – while waiting in line or sitting in traffic, have a list of things you can do then.
If you can respond to an email in 2 minutes or less, tackle it now.
When organizing your office, imagine a semi‐circle around you when you sit at your desk. Place the supplies you use most often inside this space so they will always be within reach when needed.
Never plan every minute of your day – add buffer time to your day for the unexpected tasks that pop up.
If you work from your car, set it up as a functional office with storage and office supplies like a desk.
Start prioritizing your tasks to ensure you spend your time and energy doing what is important.
