Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

FAQ

Why hire a professional organizer?

    I'll answer this with a question. Do any of these describe you?
  • You often feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin.
  • You feel tired or stressed just thinking about all the "stuff" you need to do.
  • You waste time searching for lost papers or objects.
  • You miss deadline or sometimes pay late fees on your bills.
  • You often have to work extra hours or weekends just to keep up.
  • You want to simply your life.
Contrary to what most people believe, you are not born knowing how to organize. It is a learned trait and can be taught at any state of one's life. A professional organizer is trained to design custom organizing system and teach organizing skills. He or she helps individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper and their lives. When it comes to reducing stress, improving productivity and creating a simpler, more enjoyable life, a professional organizer can help you achieve your goals.


What are the benefits of working with a professional organizer?

    There are many. For example, you can:
  • Gain control over your surroundings.
  • Access information quickly.
  • Increase productivity.
  • Achieve consistency.
  • Manage deadlines more efficiently.
  • Avoid penalties and save money.
  • De-stress and increase your energy level.

How do I hire a professional organizer?

Most truly professional organizers are members of NAPO, the National Association of Professional Organizers. They have an excellent article on their website entitled How to Hire a Professional Organizer. I highly recommend you read it if you are considering hiring an organizer.

How does your service work?

I offer a free initial telephone assessment to learn about your organizing challenges. I want to understand as much as I can about what is working in your life, and what isn't. Based upon our conversation I will schedule a meeting with you to perform an in-depth assessment. From this I will create an organizing plan for your approval.

How long will it take for me to get organized?

Every person and every situation is different. When I see what needs to be done, and know what your goals are, I can give you a recommendation on how much time it will take to create order out of your chaos!

Do you work on small projects

Yes. Not everybody needs a complete organizational makeover. Sometimes you just have a storeroom that needs a system or a filing system in need of an overhaul. I accept limited, smaller projects such as these, so don't hesitate to call me regardless of what your needs may be.

Do you have weekend or evening hours available?

Yes. I realize many people work during the weekday and can't simultaneously tackle an organizing project, so I am available to work with you on weekends and evenings.

Do you have gift certificates available?

Yes. I make it easy for you to "give the gift or organization" to a friend, family member, loved one or business associate. My gift certificates are available in any denomination and are a great way to help a disorganized someone get over the fear of working with a professional organizer.
