Deciding Whether to Hire an Organizer


The decision to hire an organizer can be a tough one.  Many people think they ought to be able to organize their stuff and space by themselves.  Often people are not certain it’s worth the money. Others are uncomfortable with the idea of having a stranger sorting through their belongings. 

When you hire an organizer you are making an investment in yourself, your family, and your future.  A professional organizer will not only help you create order, but will also teach you how to maintain that order with relative ease.  In addition, your organizer will work with you to develop systems that work with your lifestyle and are designed to meet your unique needs.  ​

Reasons to Hire an Organizer


With professional organization services, you get more for your money than just an orderly environment.  Other benefits include: 
  • Gain new skills and knowledge -- Organization is a skill, and as such it can be learned. Most of us are disorganized because we were never properly taught how to establish and maintain and organized environment. A professional organizer will equip you with that knowledge. 
  • ​Reduce stress -- Chaos causes stress.  It leads to uncertainty, frustration, and at times even a sense of hopelessness.  Reduce the chaos in your life by reducing the clutter.  As a result, your stress will be greatly reduced as well.
  • Enjoy an increased sense of control -- Clutter has a way of taking control.  Wherever it exists, it reigns supreme.  When you kick clutter to the curb, you put yourself back in the driver’s seat where you belong.
  • Experience increased productivity -- Knowing where everything is and being able to access what you need with ease allows you to work more efficiently.  You will get more done in less time and with less effort.
  • Relax and enjoy your space -- When there is a place for everything and everything is in its place, you have the space to relax and enjoy your surroundings. You can feel comfortable inviting people over and entertaining friends and family. 
  • ​Save time -- Time spent retracing your steps searching for misplaced items or redoing tasks will be yours to spend on you and the things and people you love.
  • ​Save money -- Money spent replacing missing items, purchasing duplicates of things you forgot you had, or paying late fees on misplaced bills will be a thing of the past. ​
