Eventually, the time may come when you feel like the amount of “stuff” you have surrounded yourself within your home is beginning to have a negative effect on you.
For years those items may have brought you comfort. However, now you may feel claustrophobic in your own personal space. When those feelings begin to occur, and you want to make a change but do not know how. That is usually when it’s time to call a Professional Organizer.
The most common description I hear when a potential organizing client calls me is; “I am so overwhelmed!” Upon arriving at the home, I may also hear “I’m so embarrassed.” Or “Have you ever seen anything this bad before?” Let me put your minds to rest. As an organizer, I am not there to judge. I am there to help. Professional Organizers want to help or we would not be in this profession.
It’s not always so easy to clear away things you’ve amassed in your home. Whether they are collectibles or household items that just seem to keep accumulating. When sorting through excess things in your home, you may consider those items clutter or treasured keepsakes. However, please understand that organizing is a process that takes time. It involves purging, separating and categorizing every individual piece to achieve the desired results.
Others that are not experiencing the same emotional issues as you when it comes to de-cluttering may. Typically they will have no empathy for your situation. They tell you to “toss it”, or “just throw that stuff out”. Letting go of items can be a daunting task. Working with an understanding expert by your side that comprehends how to guide you through this process is invaluable, whether you wish to accomplish an organized desk, office, closet, room or your entire home.
Your professional organizer will not only facilitate this process but bring you a sense of calm and understanding as you work through this course of action together. Please don’t misunderstand, it is important for you as the owner of the possessions to be part of this decision-making process, otherwise, you may only be relocating items from one space to another.
Professional Organizers can be likened to life coaches, who are defined as somebody who provides advice and support to people who wish to improve their lives, helping them to make decisions, solve problems, and achieve goals.
I often hear “I know I should be able to do this on my own, but I can’t seem to make myself do this without you.” Guess what? That’s ok. That comfort, guidance, and understanding are much of what we, as professional organizers, bring to you. Of course, we also have the obvious capability to assess and accelerate your project. Then we bring it all together with our uncanny sense of space planning and orderliness to give you a tidy new space.
You can reap the benefit and value of working with a professional organizer. Don’t hesitate to call for professional help with your organizing project. And isn’t that you wanted all along; an organized space, free of clutter, that you can find comfort in and be proud to call your own?
