If you have ever wondered whether or not to hire a Professional Organizer, here are 5 questions to ask yourself:
- Are the items in my home difficult to locate or put back where they belong?
- Am I regularly stressed, triggered and not at peace by a space even when it has been reset?
- Do I lose things frequently?
- Is it challenging to keep up with my chores?
- Do I have several items without a designated home?
If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, it might be time to hire a professional. Professional Organizers bring an outside perspective with practical and intentional systems to help you maintain the everyday life of a busy schedule. They come with tried-and-true tips to guide you on what to get rid of, what to change and how to adjust your current systems to better fit your needs.
Think of it this way. Sure, you COULD organize your house on your own. You could also mow your lawn, clean your house, spray for bugs, fix your car’s mechanical issues, paint your walls. But lawn care services, house cleaners, pest control companies, mechanics, and painters exist because it’s not worth the time commitment or mental energy it would take to perform all those tasks on your own. The service industry exists TO SERVE. To help make your life easier so you don’t have to do it all, so you can focus on what matters the most to you and let other people handle the rest. As a team, we bring to the table the time, energy, focus, knowledge, and man-power needed to transform your space efficiently and expertly so you don’t have to do it on your own.
Over the years, there are several common excuses I’ve heard preventing people from moving forward with an organizer. The first is shame. Shame over the current condition of the house, the endless piles, the dust that inevitably collects, the packed drawers, the clothes dumped on the floor. When inviting a stranger into your home, you are exposing an intimate and private aspect of your life. I get it. I really do. But here’s the thing – organizers don’t judge! We enter this business because we LOVE to take chaos and turn it into something beautiful. The bigger the challenge, the bigger the reward. Nothing brings greater joy to an organizer than seeing transformation, both physical and emotional. And I can almost guarantee, whatever you think is bad, we’ve seen worse!
Another common excuse is money. Let’s face it, hiring a contractor of any sort is costly. But it comes down to the time value of money. What is your time worth? What is your mental health worth? Your home should be a sanctuary. A place where you find true joy. If your home is not providing a sense of peace, is that not worth investing in to make a change? Our money goes where our value lies. If it is important enough to you, you will prioritize creating a space where you can feel proud.
Money is not the goal. Money has no value. The value comes from dreams the money helps achieve.
– Robert T. Kiyoshi
It’s also important to remember that social media is not a true reflection of reality. I think we often see celebrity and influencer posts with their beautiful homes and picture perfect pantries and think, there’s no way I could ever afford that! There are so many levels to organization though that a perfectly organized and functional home can be created without the million dollar salary. Professional Organizers cater to your needs. While they may recommend products for a particular space, they are just as happy to work with what you already have or shop around for deals. We work for you!
With so many things to juggle on a daily basis, your home should be the one area of your life that is predictable and functions to make your life easier. Allowing a Professional Organizer to come in and weed through the clutter that is overwhelming your space and create a maintainable system for you and your family, is that not worth taking the plunge?
