"Rita worked with our District Office team on organizing our work areas, and reducing our paperwork.
She provided a well-planned, effective seminar. Our staff was able to see new ways of working with
information, and her style led them to do some problem-solving and find solutions that work best for them.
Ms. Horvath impresses by her wide knowledge of a variety of topics. Not only did we discuss organization
but also we looked in a more holistic way at our workspace. I would highly recommend using Rita's
services in office management and organization. She showed us a personal approach to a topic that impacts
every office."
Ken Bates, Superintendent, Columbus School District, Columbus,

" ... strongest recommendation for Rita Horvath's 'Naturally Organized' services.
She is extremely gifted and talented, and clearly puts forth her best efforts with the highest integrity
to provide her services to me. These services include: home and office organization, time management,
and life coaching. For me, as I expect for many others, these functions are all inter-related and are
both reflected and influenced by my and home and office environment, and how I spend my time. For this
reason and Rita's expert instruction on the 'why' aspect of these functions, her services have had profound
and exponentially beneficial positive effect. The time and cost investment have already paid for themselves
several times over, and her services continue to be an outstanding value for me."

"Our business, consisting of 3 veterinarians and 8 support staff, was
having some interpersonal issues among the staff that we were having difficulty
addressing and resolving ... [they were] affecting the practice's productivity
and creating a negative work environment ...
Rita attended our next
staff meeting ... at times it was a very stressful and emotional experience for
the staff and it was invaluable to have Rita present to give an objective
interpretation of the comments she was hearing. She had a very good feel for
personalities and how they affect interpersonal communication. She provided the
staff with constructive feedback on their concerns and frustrations and more
importantly suggestions on how they could be addressed in a positive way.
Following the meeting there was an immediate improvement in the problems
we had been having and every staff member commented on the benefit of having
Rita's input and advice.
One month later there has been a 20%
improvement in the business's productivity over the previous year ... [due to]
the improved staff morale that Rita was instrumental in producing.
...I
will feel reassured to know I have an expert I can consult with in future if
needed."

"Rita worked with me on remodeling the half of the duplex that I own. The work was very extensive and
involved, painting of every room, new floors for every room and furniture design, purchase and arrangement.
This remodeling job was done on a very modest budget with practically all of the work done with my own hands
with very little outside labor. Rita was a gem at helping with the design, picking colors, choosing furniture
and appropriate floor coverings. Rita worked with me on making a very nice place to live that really reflects
my tastes and personal aesthetics. Rita was aware of my economics as well as my taste at every step of the
process. There is no doubt in my mind that if I purchase another home I will use Rita to help me with whatever
remodeling efforts I might undertake."

"When we had to move from Madison to Athens for my husband's new job at the university there,
Rita helped us organize and pack, got us ready for the whole moving process. We were originally
worried that we would have to leave a lot of our things behind, but in the end we were able to
take everything with us, thanks to Rita. She arranged everything so that packing was much easier
than we expected and our move-in to the new place was very easy. We were very pleased and would
recommend Rita's services to anybody."

"Coaching with Rita does not equal boring school classes ... I needed a personal coach because
I had an idea about where I wanted my life to go, but I didn't know how to get there ... I can
now plan activities days or weeks in advance ... I now maintain my organized space in only ½ 1½
hours per week ... and I am able to keep good financial records for tax purposes ... I urge that
you try at least one or two sessions with Rita Horvath. I noticed results right from the very
first day and you can too!"
Michael Thieman in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
"We want to thank you for your help in decorating our new space. All of your ideas have worked
out great. We could not have done it without you. Please feel free to have customers contact us."
Joe and Dolores Meagher in Madison, Wisconsin
"... You made an impact on me when you discussed the real and very personal cost of clutter
... I realized that it was emotionally draining and time consuming to have to keep coping with all
this stuff ... I have more room now and my apartment is cleaner ... The most important outcome
is that I just seem to have more control over my life after learning to organize my finances,
work projects, and special interests ... the most important aspect of this is that I am being proactive and
making decisions based on my goals rather than just trying to find a way to cope with it all ...
I am able to make decisions and changes based on what is most in alignment with my values and goals
... Now I believe that I have the tools to make decisions and manage my life more effectively. Thank
you for your warm-hearted encouragement."

"I'm writing to share what a pleasure it was to work with you. Your philosophy to help me embrace the
ways in which I am already naturally organized empowered me to get my business organized and to
extrapolate what I learned to other areas of my life. Your approach with me was hands-on and practical.
I didn't pick up before you came because I wanted you to experience my reality: piles on the floor
blocking the path from the door to my desk, piles on my desk, piles on every horizontal surface. By the
time you left, together we had uncovered the actual surface of my desk! Something I haven't seen in over
a year! I loved the time I spent with you, Rita. The principles I learned from you apply to all areas
of my home. That's why I've taken projects on the porch and in the kitchen, too! Little by little. 'Empty
Out. Clean In' is my new mantram. I now have a very compelling reason to recommend your Naturally
Organized services to my friends, clients, and colleagues."
Sally Buffat, business owner in Madison, Wisconsin
"On behalf of the Retirement Challenges Committee of the UW Retirement Association,
I want to thank you for your informative talk for our program on organizing
and downsizing our offices and homes.
I am sure that you could tell from
the audience participation and questions that the subject is of great interest
to our membership. As you could tell, we all need help!
Thank you again
for a wonderful program."

"Thank you so much for packing all my clothes, lamps, books, and knickknacks for my return to
Oregon. That sorting and packing were gargantuan. How nice to have someone such
as you to do this onerous work! I'm very grateful to
you."

"[The course] was relaxed and fun I learned a lot
and Rita was so great about answering our questions
very warm and friendly! Very knowledgeable
too!"

"You wouldn't
believe the enhanced organization that has been taking place around my house
since I've taken your class. The boxes for my proposed garage sale for next
spring are filling up rapidly. Last week I had two trash bags when I normally
had only one. I've sold an old camera, sold old skis at the University Hoofer's
ski sale and unloaded old publications. I even threw away three sets of
retainers and one head gear apparatus from my children's orthodontic work. It
felt a little odd throwing away hundreds of dollars of appliances, but they
could never be used again. I can find just about anything I want when I want it.
Organization is an amazing thing. It truly is
underrated!"
