Organizational skills are indispensable when planning an amphibious assault or arranging a thumbtack collection by size, color, and mouthfeel. Put tidying talents to work with today's Groupon: for $85, you get three hours of professional home-organization services from Pristine Living (up to a $225 value). This Groupon is valid within 15 miles of Bethesda, and clients outside of that area will be charged an additional travel fee.

Pristine Living proprietor Patricia G. Masi defeats intransigent messes with systematic and simple organizational tactics. During a three-hour session, she'll begin by consulting clients to discover their basic needs and goals. After making recommendations, Masi will school students in systematic clutter-free living, so that the changes she makes will last a lifetime, much like the cultural contributions of Pauly Shore.

If necessary, Masi can also help clients pick out storage equipment—including storage bins, hooks, shelving, and labels—that can be used to hide away competitive-lawn-bowling gear and autographed photos of vintage tractors. Clients are not required to buy new organizational materials; if they do, these costs are not included in today’s Groupon.
