Disorder is stressful, distracting, overwhelming, embarrassing and costly -- financially and emotionally. The level of organization or disorganization is directly related to productivity, motivation, income and success, plus it affects the bottom line. Clutter creates confusion; systems and uniformity create calmness, consistency and control. Procrastination is a leading cause of disorganization.
"Clutter is like the tide: It comes in every day, whether you want it to or not. And unless you
find a way to deal with it as quickly as it flows in, pretty soon you'll be drowning in clutter."
~ Lori Baird, Cut the Clutter and Stow the StuffOrganizing may feel like putting together a puzzle. It's really about improving your lifestyle and quality of life!

Organizing is a "process"... it's not a one-day project!© The steps to become and stay organized are part of the process.To organize has been described to mean ... create order, sort, arrange, dispose, methodize and put together. It has nothing to do with being clean or tidy.
"A Professional Organizer enhances the lives of clients by designing systems and processes using organizing principles and through transferring organizing skills. A Professional Organizer also educates the public on organizing solutions and the resulting benefits. Professional organizers help individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper, and their systems for life."
-- National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) - The Organizing Authority®
SURVEY SAYS
According to a survey conducted on behalf of NAPO (press release January 2009), getting organized is definitely a necessity. The 400 adults polled revealed ...
Overall, 96% indicated that they could save time every day by becoming more organized.
71% said their quality of life would improve if they were better organized
65% described their home as at least moderately disorganized.
27% said disorder keeps them from being effective at work.
Professional Organizers are not ...
You don't have to get organized alone!
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Many people say, "no one ever taught me HOW to get organized!" Some struggle with major 'life-changing' situations, and some simply don't take the time to get organized. For others, things are just out of control, or they're too embarrassed to ask for help from friends, family or employees.
"When you hire an organizer, it is an expense that has a duration. It ends. Where if you are disorganized, the cost goes on forever." I.P.
Organizing is a HOT TOPIC of cable TV shows, Oprah, Dr. Phil, and many great books. These services will take you to the next level and offer valuable solutions for your individual style and needs. They will also help you decide what to keep and the best place for it to "live." In reality -- unlike the TV shows -- most organizing projects will require 2 or more sessions to complete (and Rome wasn't built in a day). You simply need to be willing to participate in the process, make decisions and consider recommendations.
"Organizing our office space and paperwork was an investment in the
success of our business and our future. We immediately saved hours
of wasted time. Now our income has increased and stress is significantly
reduced. So glad we took this leap of faith. Forever grateful to you
and your staff. Your expertise made a huge difference!" K.N.S.FOR REAL PEOPLE

Who Hires a Professional Organizer?
How Long Will It Take To Get Organized?Donna D. McMillan explains some people say they are "messy" and never had anyone to speak with honestly about this topic or who could help physically. “Clutter is postponed decisions,” says Barbara Hemphill, author of Taming the Paper Tiger. Clutter also results from delayed actions.
"If you can't find something in 30 seconds, it's in the wrong place and it needs a 'home'!"© WHAT'S NOT WORKING? WHAT NEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED?
Paperwork - clutter - filing systems - storage areas - too much stuff - late for appointments - misplacing items - wasting time - moving - expanding or down-sizing? Want to learn how to SAVE MONEY and gain 1-2 hours every day? Is it time for an organizing "tune-up"?
