3 Reasons Why Decluttering With an Organizer is Better Than by Yourself

"Why do I need to hire someone to help declutter my home? Can't I do it on my own?" Of course you can, if you have the time and energy! But let's take a moment to be honest and think about the piles and bins you've been meaning to sort for years. Sometimes you need the physical help to move, sort, and remove the clutter. Other times you need help shouldering the mental load of all those decisions. I can do both!

Reason #1: A Pro is Guaranteed to Help You Purge More Effectively

When working with a professional organizer, you have committed the time and focus to the decluttering task. Having a helper on hand to confirm and then act on your decisions is a game changer. When decluttering on your own, you have to decide where to start and how to manage the project as a whole, while also deciding what to do with individual items. I provide the framework for my clients and keep them on task as we move through the project at their pace. Once a client has made a decision, I can immediately act on that decision and they never have to think about it again. My clients enjoy the color-coded labels I bring along to their homes, allowing them to walk around and label "keep" "donate" and "recycle/trash" while I follow along behind and act on their decisions.

Reason #2: An Organizer is Happy to Handle Discards & Donations

How long do donations and recycling items such as electronics sit in your garage – or car – taking up valuable mental real estate? When you work with me, I will immediately remove and appropriately dispose of all items you are decluttering, at no extra charge! You've already done the heavy lifting of the decision making, now you can completely cross it off your list and don't need to set aside additional time for donation drop offs, or research where to drop off household hazardous waste such as half-empty paint cans. At the end of each session, I can remove up to one full carload of donations or recycling, adding up to huge time savings for you!

Reason #3: A Coach Blends Their Expertise with Your Everyday Life

As we work side-by-side, I quickly get to know my clients and their preferences. The suggestions I make are customized to their lives, spaces, and families. I'm happy to research specific organizing techniques or even the special needs of your family members. Together, we can optimize your home both for the present and the foreseeable future of how your family will use your space at home. Sharing the mental load of decision-making with a professional organizer is a game changer for my clients. They are often tasked with anticipating the needs of other family members and it is a huge relief to consult with a pro who understands them and their unique situation.

Home should be a place of rest and refreshment, not stress and overwhelm. Working with a professional organizer can help you turn the corner and reclaim this space while developing skills and gaining insight you can use for a lifetime.

If you're ready for a home that feels effortless and supports your busy life, I would be honored to help. Reach out and let's chat!
