When to Hire a Professional Organizer

3/14/2018

Something I get asked quite regularly is “how do I know if I need a Professional Organizer?”. So, I wanted to share my thoughts around when it might be time to hire a professional organizer, or PO for short.

Do you find yourself wasting time looking for things?
Do you find yourself buying items that you eventually discover you already own?
Do you find that almost every table/countertop is overrun with clutter?
Are you spending money to store your stuff?
Are you achieving your goals?
Are you happy in your space or do you feel overwhelmed in your space?

If you find yourself saying yes to a few or more of these questions, then it’s time to hire a professional organizer. The list of benefits for working with a PO is long. PO's can put together a plan of action and guide you on where to start when you have no idea on how or where to begin. They are not "emotionally" attached to your things and therefore can offer an unbiased view on items to keep or donate. They listen to you and help you determine your true treasures and support you in letting go of things that do not bring you true joy. PO's put systems in place that are customized for you to save you time, money and anxiety!

Isn’t this a much better list to say “YES” to?

I leave my house on time in the morning because I don’t have to spend time finding the things I need!
I was able to save money and take that trip I have always wanted to take with my family!
I am not ashamed of my home when my family/friends come over!
I feel that my home is a place where I can relax and be surrounded by the people and things that I truly enjoy!

If you've been debating on hiring a PO, give me a call. I'd love to discuss how I can help you regain control of your home and time!

Your answer for organizing,
Ali

I like that this pointed out you may want to get a personal organizer if you are spending money to store your stuff. I think this applies to buying more bins for storage as well. I have a very cluttered house after moving, so I could use the help. Thanks for the great article!

I was trying to find a specific blue dress for an event I have this weekend, and I couldn't find it anywhere because my closet is such a mess. I am thinking about hiring a professional organizer to help me get everything cleaned up. Thank you for explaining that a professional organizer won't have an attachment to items like I do, and they will give me an objective opinion on what to keep and what to give away.

It's good to know that you should hire a professional if you waste time looking for things. Last night I noticed how cluttered my garage is, and how hard it is for me to find anything in there, and I was wondering how I could fix it. I'll have to look into hiring a professional to come and help me with organizing my garage!

I like how you said that if a counter or table is often overrun with clutter it can be helpful to hire a professional organizer. My mom always says that she wishes her house was more organized and less cluttered. I will be sure to suggest that she find a professional home organizer to help her house be more neat and tidy.

It's great that you point out that a professional organizer can help you if your home is excessively cluttered. The clutter in my home stresses me out, so I'm thinking about hiring a professional organizer to help me. I'm going to look for a good professional home organizer in the area to hire.
