WHAT WE DO

•  Are there piles of paperwork on your desk?
•  Do you spend more time looking for things than you
   do enjoying them?
•  Have you ever gone out and bought something you
   know you have, but could not find?
•  Is all your stuff beginning to become a source of
   stress?
•  Do you keep telling yourself that one of these days you will take
   the time to simplify and create order out of chaos? Haven't you been telling yourself that for
   months, maybe years?
•  Do you even know where to begin?

We have become a nation of stuff. We bring more and more of it into our lives on a daily basis, often without knowing where to go with it and without a true need for it. We have filled closets, rooms, basements, and storage lockers with it. Our expensive cars are exposed to the elements because our two car garages are packed with boxes of stuff that we are just storing.

It is easy for it to become out of control and become overwhelmed by it, but don't worry. Help is here. A professional organizer is just the person that can come to your rescue.

What is a professional organizer? We provide expert knowledge and skills to bring order into every aspect of your life. Our solutions are designed to make your life easier by giving you the know-how and motivation that you need. We make the organizing process smooth and easy. A professional organizer will come into your home or office and work with you to clear out clutter and develop an organization system with you to keep you on the right track.

But don't hire a professional organizer expecting to get a premium cleaning service. They will help you get your things in order, but you need to be involved in the full process for the systems to work. Organizing is a skill, so educating you in a system based on your styles is a large part of the process, and once you have the system in place, most people are likely to stick with it.

Don't be afraid to interview your organizer. Make sure that their style conforms to yours. At the initial consultation in your home, make sure that they understand what your concerns are, and the goals that you have in mind. A professional organizer needs to understand what is working for you and what is not.

The process involves mapping out a detailed plan on how to achieve your goals. They will go through your stuff with you and decide what items are to be kept, which will be donated, and which may be sold. A big part of creating order and structure means letting go. We live in a world of abundance and need to learn emotional detachment to be able to let go of the things that we don't need.

In a sense, professional organizing is like therapy. It can help you to reduce the amount of stuff that you have, thus decreasing stress. It can help you to regain control of your items, giving you more time for you to enjoy more of life. It can be a productive and satisfying experience. A professional organizer can provide ideas, structure, systems, and solutions to create an environment in which you will thrive.

How do you select a
Professional Organizer?

The process of going through your stuff is very personal. Some people may be embarrassed by all that they have accumulated. Others have things that they don’t want just anyone to be going through. And still others have stuff that is very personal to them with deep meaning and family importance.

A professional organizer is just that:
Professional.
They have empathy for your situation and want to work with you to establish systems that work for you, not just go through your stuff and clear out what they think is disposable.

They should also be a member of NAPO, or the National Association of Professional Organizers, and abide by a Code of Ethics to insure your personal information will remain safe and confidential. A professional organizer who is a NAPO member has made a commitment to their business and to you the client.
