3 Things I Notice as a Professional Organizer.
That Shame Game - Clients are often ashamed or embarrassed that they haven’t been able to “do it themselves.” There is ZERO shame in asking for help. There are only 24 hours in a day after all. Shame, unnecessary comparisons, guilt and a fear of judgement can paralyze people into giving up. Reaching out to a pro organizer can be the motivation and support needed to tackle the clutter head on!
Organization and Mental Health - Clutter can interfere with achieving our goals even when they are seemingly unrelated. Clearing our home of clutter and implementing simple systems, frees up the space to tackle other goals such as fitness, hobbies, or building relationships.
But How Long Will it Take? - Ah, a question as old as time. Clients often ask how long a room/project will take. Fair question. The answer: I don’t know. What I do know is clients are always pleasantly surprised by how much we can get done in one session (about 4 hours). “Wow I can’t believe how much we got done” is a common refrain. With dedicated time and focus (which is why you pay a professional organizer), spaces we’ve been meaning to tackle for years, can show progress fairly quickly.
