Working With A Professional Organizer


Not everyone has the time or the patience to keep their spaces as tidy as they would like. People are busy and do not always have the time to deal with clutter and over time it will begin to build up. If the task becomes overwhelming, there are people that one can turn to to help get the mess turned around. Professional organizers are out there and have the experience to get the clutter under control.


When an organizer arrives with you they will go over the area you want organized. Usually, together the two of you will devise a plan of how you want the space to be and what types of storage system will be needed. The organizer will make sure the storage system will do what you want to do and be functional in your life.


Once a plan has been established, all of the items in the space will be temporarily cleared out. With the room being cleared, it will be easier to start over and have a fresh start. Everything that was taken out of the room will be sorted through and will be divided into three different piles. Those piles will be keep, toss and donate. All of the toss and donate items will be done right away so there is no chance they will make it back into the room on second thoughts.


With the keep pile now created, the system that was earlier decided on for how to store all of the items is put into motion. This could be storing many of the items in bins, creating a shelving system or a combination of things. The items are then brought back into the room placing the most important and most used items in the front and the middle of the unit. The less used and less important items are placed in the lower and higher areas. 


After the room has been put back together, another assessment will be done. This is to be sure that the room has flow and is truly organized. The entire process from start to finish for your whole house can possibly take a few weeks or more depending on the depth of the unorganization.


A professional organizer needs to have great organizational skills. These people also need to have patience to deal with customers and to also make sure they are doing the best possible job they can. Most organizers begin by doing some work in the homes of family and friends and then branching out from there.


A trained professional organizer can be a great asset to someone who does not have the time to do it themselves and also to someone who just does not know where to start. With a little help, the house can be clutter free once again.
