Why Hire a Professional Organizer?

Hiring a Professional Organizer has the potential to result in an immediate return on your investment - not only in regard to money, but in time as well. If your space has never been in an organized state, or if it once was but now has become too difficult to manage, it is likely because you lack the tools necessary to create and maintain systems that will actually work for your space. Even if you do possess these skills, you may lack the time required to effectively establish a system and put an organizational plan in place. 

Regardless of your situation, a Professional Organizer will be able to assess your space and provide suggestions and solutions tailored to your needs. They also aid in teaching you how to preserve the organization in your home or office so that systems are easily maintained. Additional benefits of hiring a Professional Organizer are:

Hands-On Assistance:

Working with a third party who has no emotional attachment to your possessions can work wonders. Professional Organizers are objective and trained to ask the right questions (i.e. Do you really need 9 cutting boards?) in order to help you make decisions about excess clutter that you can feel confident about. The goal is to help you see a different perspective and help you imagine what your space could look like when the project is done. Most Organizers have no problem going through each of your pieces side by side with you and offering guidance on how to reduce superfluous items. 

Stress Reduction:

Living or working in a cluttered and unorganized space can understandably cause one to feel stressed and overwhelmed. Taking the necessary steps to get (and keep) things in order can significantly improve your mental and emotional well being. Spending time in a space where you feel comfortable and in control of has the power to reduce anxiety, boost your mood, and even increase productivity. 

Increase Efficiency:

In addition to increasing productivity, hiring a Professional Organizer can enhance efficiency in your space. A famous Benjamin Franklin quote and key element of the popular 5S methodology is “A place for everything, and everything in its place”. This is the motto of many Organizers, and rightfully so! How much smoother would your daily routines be if you had systems to keep everything in their designated areas? Less time will be wasted looking around for things that were previously tossed in random places because you’ll know exactly where to find them, and where to return them when you’re done. 

While hiring a Professional Organizer has several benefits, you have to be sure to find one that feels right for you. You’ll want to know what their process is and how they can help you transform your space. Many Organizers share before/after photographs of their previous projects which can give you an idea of their capabilities. Do your research and don’t be afraid to call around to vet prospects and ask any questions you may have. It’s your space, so you get to decide who you allow into it.
