From Bedlam to Brilliance – Do You Feel Frozen in Your Organizing Attempts?

How a Professional Organizer Can Help You!

Have you ever wondered how a Professional Organizer can help you? Do you tell yourself all the time this is something you should be able to do on your own? Do you not get started, or do you get started but never finish, because the task seems daunting?

Close your eyes and imagine your answers to the following questions:

What would it feel like if you were organized?
How would you feel if you no longer felt overwhelmed by all 0f your things?
What would it feel like if you could readily find items that you know you already have?
What would happen if the systems you put in place worked easily for you?
Would you enjoy organizing if you could have fun, while being motivated at the same time?

Believe it or not, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I, as a Certified Professional Organizer, can help you with all of the above, whether it’s for your home or business. I work with you one-on-one to evaluate your needs, help you figure out what works for you and what doesn’t, and support you in the process of getting and staying organized. Creating order out of chaos assists in reducing stress, saving time, and saving money.

Part of my process is to ask you questions pertinent to your situation, help you decide what to keep and what not to keep, and figure out places to put those items you decide to keep. In addition, I have resources to help with those items you are no longer keeping (other than what you decided to discard).

There is no need to be embarrassed by your clutter. Taking that first step in making the call can be the hardest, and I applaud you for that, as well as being excited to be able to help. I am non-judgmental, a good listener, and treat every client with complete confidentiality. If the Professional Organizer is a member of NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals), of which I am, we abide by a Code of Ethics, which is “a set of principles to provide guidelines in our professional conduct with our clients, colleagues, and community”.

We all need help from others, and there is nothing wrong with asking for and accepting it. For instance, I have a web developer and a computer company, both helping me with technology, because they can do things much faster than I. In fact, many times I become phobic about how fast technology changes, and I know they are on top of everything in order to help me and my business succeed. This affords me the time I need to spend helping my clients.

Maybe you hire someone to mow your lawn or shovel your snow because that helps you. Is there a reason you may not hire a professional to help you with your organizing challenges? Organizing takes a commitment on your part and incorporating organizing time into your schedule will help you stay on track and reach your goals.

Many people have busy schedules. In the long run, getting organized will make it easier for you to finally have the time to do the things you want to do. Remember – you want to control the clutter, not have the clutter control you.

As A.A. Milne so aptly says it,
“Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.”

What are your goals for getting and staying organized?
