You\u2019ve read the blogs, binged Marie Kondo\u2019s series on Netflix and browsed every aisle in the Container Store. You are more than ready to get organized; you just don\u2019t know where to start.<\/p>\n

As my clients often discover, everything looks easier on TV, and it all makes sense online but trying to do it on their own is more challenging. If you can relate then it might be time to hire a professional. Here’s what you to expect.<\/p>\n

A Judgment-Free Zone<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If the thought of bringing someone into your messy space makes you panic, don\u2019t worry. We\u2019re pros. There\u2019s nothing my team and I haven\u2019t seen. We\u2019re not here to judge or make you throw anything away. No good organizer will.<\/p>\n

Supportive Role<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The organizer you choose should be uplifting and supportive. You\u2019re hiring someone to help you walk through the process. A professional organizer will give expert opinions and help you create a space that supports you, your family, and your lifestyle. You might declutter items in the process, but there\u2019s no rule or even expectation, you\u2019ll have to throw things away and start over from scratch.<\/p>\n

Personalized Approach to Organization<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I\u2019d prefer to see the room as-is. You don\u2019t need to try and straighten up or make things look neat. As I mentioned earlier, I\u2019ve seen it all before and your house is a judgment-free zone.<\/p>\n

I truly enjoy what I do and walking into a space for the first time is like seeing pieces of a puzzle I\u2019m trying to solve. I am there to offer ways to make the space work for you. Think of me as your ticket to the best \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d pictures you could imagine.<\/p>\n

Collaborative Organization<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s not \u201cmy way or the highway.\u201d A good organizer will work with you to understand how your brain works and how you move through the space.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve walked into rooms that look unorganized, only to watch my client locate and find everything she needs within seconds. It doesn\u2019t matter if I would have organized the room differently, it works for her. In that case, the room isn\u2019t unorganized, it\u2019s cluttered. Simply straightening and tidying up the room can improve the overall function of the space.<\/p>\n

A professional organizer will give expert opinions and help you create a space that supports you and your lifestyle. You might declutter items in the process, but there\u2019s no rule, or even expectation, you\u2019ll have to throw things away and start over from scratch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Depending on the size of your space and the scope of the project you could be working alongside an organizer for several hours a day. You want a good listener who is supportive and not critical or judgmental. If you like high energy, you might enjoy working with me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, you should enjoy the person you hire. Transforming your space and organizing your home should be an exciting and fulfilling process, and the right organizer can help.<\/p>\n
