"I don't know what I would have done without Maude Brickner - she
is simply the best! Incredibly efficient, thorough and a wonderful calming
influence to have nearby when going through an international relocation.
She helped with everything from setting up our utilties while we were still
overseas, to reasearching the most cost effective telephone, cable and
internet access options. Once we were more settled she advised how to make
the most of our Manhattan space and where to go for economical or elegant
storage solutions as the rooms required!"
-Melissa and Jon, Manhattan Artist and Banker
Relocated from London and Paris
"Maude
saved the day when we moved last spring by stepping in to unpack and
organize our kitchen. We needed to move apartments while both of us worked
full-time (and took care of two kids). So we needed everything up and
running instantly. We hired Maude to transform our kitchen from a heap of
boxes into a fully working kitchen in a day. She did it! She put everything exactly where it
should go. We never wondered where something was because it was always just
where you would think it should be. It made the whole move so much easier.
We certainly would use her again."
- Deborah, Professor, Greenwich
Village
"Although with 25+ years of office management experience I have the
right stuff for being organized, what I lacked was motivation. With Maude
as The Motivator, we picked up piles and piles of clutter and started
sorting, stacking, filing, tossing. She made me find a home for everything.
The quality of my life is much improved. I awoke the morning after to a
much neater, cleaner home. I felt so much better emotionally. This was like
therapy, only less expensive and with immediately tangible results. I may
even call her once or twice a year - just for a tune up!"
-Claudette, Manhattan
"A Method for Your Madness is 'Mission Organization' and more. It's
not just sort and simplify. It's how to let go of that old stuff and feel
relieved you did. Maude will guide you through the steps of organizing your
space, provide useful suggestions for maintenance and, most importantly,
give you that extra nudge to toss when there is no point in keeping
something. Overwhelming projects are tackled with persistance and energy.
The results are uplifting and highly satisfying! We had a whole new room!
Maude was a professional in every sense of the word, and the right person
to help me with such a personal project."
-Hazel, Dobbs Ferry
"It was like magic - all of the stuff we had been avoiding dealing
with for months fell neatly into place in the period of a few quick hours.
Maude possesses a sort of X-ray vision for how a room ought to be
organized, and once all the books and papers, personal articles and miscellaneous
treasures each found its proper location under her hands, we were left
asking ourselves, 'Why didn't think we think of this?' It is the touch of
the professional that makes a hard job look easy, and Maude is a pro!"
-Eric and Cheryl, Amherst, Mass
"Sylvia Cynthia Stout
wouldn't take the garbage out
buried under smelly trout
911 refused her shout
only Maude could dig her out
It befuddles your thought
The mess you have wrought
you have fought and fought
It seems for naught
enter now the mighty Maude
madness you say
method no way
I tell you, nay
call Maude today"
-Signed Joel, Rockland County, USA
"You know those piles of stuff you have all around your home? Those
piles you don't even notice any more because they have somehow become part of
the scenery? Maude helped us to sift through our piles and considerably
lightened our load. Moving through the physical obstacles somehow also
helped remove the psychological ones. It was a combination of fun and
therapy. We could never have done it without her and only wish we hadn't
waited so long! Maude's compassion, integrity and stick-to-it determination
make it happen. She's like a personal trainer for your junk!"
-Beth, Real Estate Executive, Dobbs
Ferry
"Maude turned my life around. Not only did she help me organize my
office (and give me license to throw things away that had been piling up
for 15 years!), but she also gave me a strategy for maintaining that
organization, something I have never before been able to do on my
own."
-Deborah, Psychotherapist,
Riverdale
"Maude freed up a tremendous amount of space in a small apartment.
By helping me to separate things I use daily from seasonal ones, she made
my daily life easier. I have room I never thought possible and am now
organized beyond my wildest dreams. Her spatial understanding shows
creativity and brilliance."
-Jon, Businessman, Manhattan
"Maude made order out of chaos in my attic, garage, basement, and
office. We've lived in our house for 35 years and have accumulated VAST
amounts of stuff. She helped us to filter out items to be sold, donated,
dumped, and those to be forcibly returned to our adult children. She did
the selling, delivery to the Salvation Army and discarding into trash bags.
She pointed the way to orderly living which I am hoping to master some rosy
time in the future."
-Alice, Illustrator, Riverdale
