Why hire a professional organizer?

It seems simple - pick things up and put them away. Yet why is it so hard to get done? There's a different barrier for every person. Some of us are just too busy or tired with other more important things. The last thing you want to do at the end of a hard day is put away laundry! For some people, the volume of clutter is just too daunting. You can't imagine that you'll ever finish it so you just don't start. Sometimes the work is too emotional. Thinking about parting with items from your past is just too hard.

My most important job as an organizer is to help clients overcome the obstacles preventing them from getting and staying organized. I can serve as a coach, helping decrease the pain of letting go of things. I can help find the right system for you personally. Everyone has their own desires and goals. If your system fails, it might be because it's not right for you. Sometimes you just need to be held accountable for getting started. If you're paying me for this work, you can't just leave things for another day. Lastly, I can do the hard physical work of moving things around.

Hiring a professional organizer will help you with the physical work of getting organized. Maybe more importantly, an organizer will help you navigate your own distinct challenges. If you could do it on your own, wouldn't you have already done it?
