“Simplify” Your Life
SIMPLIFY NEPA SEEKS TO REDUCE CLIENTS’
STRESS BY REDUCING CLUTTER
For some people, tackling clutter in their home or office is
enough to send them into panic. Rising to that challenge is
something on which Judy Youshock, owner of Simplify NEPA,
stakes her business’s reputation.
Ms. Youshock founded Simplify NEPA in 2018 after switching
from a 30-year career in property management. While in
her previous career, she noticed how people’s every day
obligations made cleaning and organizing fall by the wayside
and become overwhelming and wondered how she could use
her experience to help.
“There are many causes for clutter,” she said. “Most people
are just too busy or have special conditions that lead to
overwhelming clutter. Cleaning and decluttering are a regular
chore that homeowners have to keep up with, but if someone
doesn’t have the time, we can help.”

Simplify NEPA offers deep cleaning, weekly or bi-weekly office
or residential cleaning, decluttering, organizing, contractor
cleanup, event or party setup and cleanup, rental cleaning
and estate/real estate cleaning. Ms. Youshock offers free
consultations to clients, as well as free declutter challenges
throughout the year and specialized tips on her website and
social media sites.
“If you are feeling overwhelmed with your clutter, the first step
is to start small,” she said. “Take one closet, drawer or section
of a room at a time. Have three boxes labeled ‘donate,’ ‘sell,’
and ‘move to another room,’ as well as a trash bag. Once
you finish the area, immediately put the ‘donate’ items in your
vehicle to take to a donation center, move items that don’t
belong to their proper place, throw out the trash and list the
items for sale before you move on to another area.”
