Frequently Asked Questions

What should I think about before contacting a
Professional Organizer for help?

You should think about how you would answer the following questions:

What about your situation IS working for you?
What about your situation IS NOT working for you?
What is most essential to you?
Why do you want to get organized?
What is standing in the way of your getting or staying organized?
What, if anything, have you tried before to get organized?
Is the disorganization chronic? (You get organized but aren't able to stay organized. Standard organizing systems don't work for you.)
Is the lack of order unusual, the result of a life-changing event like a new job, a move, a marriage, a divorce, a birth, a death?
Do you need help with time management, paper management, information management and/or space management?
Do you need overall space and/or storage planning first?
Do you need hands-on help working through each step of the organizing process or do you just need a plan to get you going?
How will you know when you're organized?
