ASK THE ORGANIZER
WHAT ARE YOUR FIRST STEPS TO GETTING A SPACE ORGANIZED?
My services are tailored to each individual client or organization. My initial consultation with all clients, whether it be virtual or in person, begins with getting to know their wants and needs. From there, we create a plan of action.
IS THERE A ROOM OR A SPACE THAT ORGANIZATION SHOULD ALWAYS START IN?
Not necessarily, sometimes it is best to start in the room that is causing the most stress but others it is necessary to start in a room that is used the most frequently. For instance, if you have a home office that isn’t functioning well and causing clutter to build up in other parts of the home it would be best to tackle the office first. The first step is always the hardest but once you see and feel the freedom and stress reduction of a functioning space it ignites a spark and that momentum keeps you moving throughout your spaces.
ARE PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZERS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH SERIOUS CLUTTER PROBLEMS?
Absolutely not. What is problematic for one client may not affect another client the same way. It’s all about creating functional systems that work for each clients’ specific needs. I bring a fresh set of eyes to the space and can help clients utilize their rooms they may have never thought possible.
HOW IS HIRING A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER DIFFERENT THAN JUST ORGANIZING ON YOUR OWN?
With a professional organizer, you will have accountability, coaching, concrete steps, a plan of action and hands-on help. When tackling an organizing project on your own it can be hard to move forward and see the big picture. When I am there virtually or in person I help clients push through hard work while also being patient, compassionate, and empathetic. As a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and Faithful Organizers, I am constantly learning new techniques and continuing my education to offer the very best service to my clients.
HOW DO I STAY ORGANIZED AFTER THE PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER HAS LEFT?
When I am working with my clients, I’m not just helping create organized spaces I am helping create functional and workable systems. Everyone naturally gravitates toward disorganization, but with functional systems in place, you should be able to get things back to “normal” in less than about 7 minutes.
