Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between having a professional organizer and doing it on my own?

Using a professional organizer keeps you focused on the immediate task at hand and in the area being evaluated. You won’t just be moving items around, you will be deciding if you want to keep things. If so, where is the best location for them. Storage solutions are offered and needs are prioritized. Working together is fun and you have a coach to keep you going.

Will you do all of the organization or do I help?

Ideally we work together. We look at individual areas and think of solutions that work for you. However, if you do not want to be involved in the organizational process, I can sort areas independently after you decide on items you no longer need.

How do I keep organized after you leave?

While we are working I will be giving you suggestions. I will help you develop a plan for a system to return items to logical "homes". Your space will feel so great that you will want to keep it organized. In addition, I’ll call to check on you and you can contact me about how things are working. Again, I want to hear from you. I care about you and having you be successful.

Do you have a maintenance plan?

Yes, some people are very busy with other responsibilities and benefit from having a return visit(s). I can schedule a return visit for a shorter amount of time.

How long does it take to organize?

This varies on the speed at which you are able to work through your things. It is often easier to work on office supplies than to organize an area with lots of memories. You also need to consider the size and level of organizing that needs to take place.

How are Feng Shui and Organization related?

When your space is clean and organized you can "feel" the difference. When you release clutter and organize your space you are allowing more room for what you want to happen in your life. Knowing the rewards of applying Feng Shui techniques is a big motivator to organize. Working with Organization and Feng Shui helps you feel better in your space, and this helps your life.
