WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER?

When I meet new people and they ask me what I do, they often get surprised at my answer and ask me this follow-up question, ”Why do people need to pay money for that? Why can’t they just do it on their own?” Some people CAN do it on their own but choose not to because they have other priorities. They understand the importance of prioritizing what’s important to them - for example, family time, hobbies, exercise, etc. There are other people who simply don’t know how to (yet).

You might think that the only people needing professional organizer services are the ones that have a disorganized house. This is not always the case. Actually a lot of my clients are people whose house is super organized most of the time. Then why do they hire me, you might ask? Just because someone’s place looks organized doesn’t mean it is organized…organized in a functional way, that is.  Some people spend hours every day tidying up. A professional organizer will organize your space in a way that will cut the tidying up time significantly. Have you ever had a drawer or shelf that no matter how often you organize and keep it under control it gets messy within a month? This is because that drawer/shelf is not organized in a functional way. A pro organizer will be able to point out the problem and find a solution. By creating more functional spaces, you will save so much time in the long run on daily organizing. 

Other clients hire me because they are tired of waiting for the day their space will finally be organized enough to have friends and family over. I love working with these types of clients because in the process of purging and organizing I start noticing the gradual shift in their mindset and priorities.  It brings me so much joy to see a client who notices how they have fallen victim to consumerism, and over time let things control their life/day instead of the other way around. I love seeing them get excited about their new space and finally believing in being able to maintain it.

Another reason why people hire me is because they see hiring a pro organizer as an investment. Here are 3  ways you can save money by hiring one:

  1. Are you making monthly payments for storage? Did you know that by making some adjustments in your space you might not need to pay for storage at all or at the very least downgrade your package? Or maybe an entire room or your entire garage has become a storage unit for things you don’t use. Wouldn’t it be nice to start parking your cars inside and not get tickets on street cleaning days? People who want to maximize use of their space but don’t know where to start hire a professional organizer to guide them through this overwhelming process peacefully and stress-free.

  2. Do you keep buying things you already have because you can’t seem to remember where you put them? Yeah, visibility is key, and a professional organizer will help you organize in a way that will prevent double purchases of light bulbs and flour :). Sound familiar?

  3. You keep buying beautiful storage solutions but it keeps getting messy. Let’s do it the right way. Buying solutions without proper measurements and planning is another way to waste money. Hire a pro organizer just once to get the coaching on how to do it properly.

The cool thing about hiring a pro organizer is that you can hire one just once and in the process learn so much that will help you in all areas of your life where organization is concerned. Look at hiring a pro organizer as paying for education or a class. 

Obviously I don’t tell all this to the person I just met, but maybe I should print and laminate this and hand it to them when they ask? Just kidding.

That’s it for today folks! Hope you’re having an amazing day and considering hiring a professional organizer to simplify your life!
