What’s Your Story?

Sherri Curley aka The Practical Sort in Portland Oregon

Frustration, overwhelm, and tension caused by excess stuff or inefficiency no longer needs to be part of your story.


We’re all frenetically busy. Keeping our sh*t together feels harder day to day. There are scores of books and other resources to teach you how to get organized. They’re useful. But you can read about getting organized until your eyes cross and your brain is ready to explode. Unless you take action, the piles won’t disappear, the boxes that haven’t been opened since you moved in 20 years ago will never get unpacked, and old, worn-out clothes will continue to occupy much needed closet space. Your to-dos will remain untackled.

Let’s get you unstuck and moving forward. Make room for what matters to you most. And do it in a way that feels natural.

Contact me, Sherri Curley, Certified Neurodiversity Coach (CNC) at ThePracticalSort.com or sherri@thepracticalsort.com. Together we’ll sort through your unique challenges to find solutions that work for you.


My Organizing Story

For over 20 years, I assisted non-profits, family members, and friends to create systems and routines to simplify life, provided guidance on what to keep and what to release in an eco-friendly way, and helped arrange spaces and items to work better for them.   As I transitioned into a "Freebird" sending my last child off to college, I launched The Practical Sort to focus on providing practical, organizing solutions for busy women.

Prior to having children, I worked at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during the early days of grass roots recycling.  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, and Reimagine are goals of every Practical Sort organizing session. 

Navigating through my own Attention Deficit (ADD) traits, and having raised a daughter diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD), I'm intimately familiar with how these attributes can add complexities to getting and staying organized and carrying out daily tasks. Above all, to honor our own uniqueness to find ways forward.

If you are not lovin' your home as much as you’d like, if you are struggling to “get it together”, if you’re thinking “if I only had an extra set of eyes, ears, hands, and perspective to get me started”, then reach out.
