Why Hire a Professional Organizer?

Don’t feel guilty or blame yourself for being disorganized.  There is no formal course in school that teaches organizing skills.  How can you know something you’ve never been taught…unless it comes naturally? 

You don’t have to be organized to the same degree as someone else.  You only have to be organized to a degree that helps you work efficiently and productively.

You hire an accountant for your payroll and tax needs.  You hire a financial consultant for your financial needs.  You hire a cleaning service when you are too busy to clean your house.  You hire a lawn service to take care of your lawn.  Hiring a professional organizer is no different.  You are hiring someone experienced to put your home, your business or your life in order. 

Some people are fairly organized and just want to fine-tune their systems.  Some just don’t have the time to organize themselves and need the benefit of hiring an organizer to take care of that aspect of their lives.  Others feel they were born without the “organizing gene” and need expert assistance and advice.  Still others just desire the energy and objectivity of another person to help them. 

No matter which category you fall in or between, a professional organizer can provide ideas, information, structure, solutions and systems to increase your productivity and reduce stress.

Do You Need a Professional Organizer?

 Do you find…

• yourself repeatedly looking through stacks of paper to find something?
• you can’t put your hands on an item you know you put “somewhere” for safe keeping?
• you have numerous magazines, books and/or business related reading and don’t have time to read all of them?
• things jump out at you when you open the closet door?
• You have piles of mail to go through?
• you feel embarrassed to have others see your cluttered house?

• you meet clients somewhere besides your office because you can’t see the top of your desk or there is no place for clients to sit?

• yourself saying “I’ve got to get organized.”, but never have the time to start?

• you are too overwhelmed to know where to start?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you probably need a professional organizer. 

What Can I Expect from a Professional Organizer?

A professional organizer works with you to come up with solutions to organize your time, your tasks, your living space, your work space, your papers and your files.  The PO will ask you questions about what areas of your life are bothering you and will work with you to make your organizing goals a reality.  The result is reduced stress and more time to do what you truly want to do.  You have the right to expect the following from your organizer:

1. Feel comfortable.  Your organizer will be asking you questions to get an idea what it is you want to accomplish.   You want to work with an organizer that you feel comfortable talking to and sharing your ideas with.

2. Confidentiality.  Your organizer should tell you up front that anything they see, or you say, is held in strictest confidence. 

3. Expertise and experience.  Ask your organizer what organizations they belong to and how they got their organizing experience. 

4. Clear explanations.  Expect to have your questions answered.  If you don’t understand the explanation the first time, don’t hesitate to keep asking questions until you do understand.

5. Discuss services and costs.  A professional organizer is used to giving estimates and quoting prices for their services.  Feel comfortable in asking any questions you have regarding pricing.
