1. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A PROSESSIONAL ORGANIZER?

The role of the organizer is to guide, assist, and teach clients (if they would like to learn)
how to maximize the flow and function of their physical space.

2. WHAT IS THE HIGHEST ESTIMATED DURATION AND QUOTE FOR MY PROECT?

It will depend on your choice. The duration and quote will vary of the number of
professionals working on the project and how many hours per day you want us to work.
The more assistants I bring along to the project, the faster and more economical it will
be for you. If you’d like to hire me for 4-hour weekly increments, the job may last longer,
and the cost will be higher.

3. WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU ORGANIZE?

Almost any room or area (including cabinets, closets, shelves, etc.) of a home, office or
any space that is cluttered and it’s not easy for you to find things, to return things to, or
where there is no system at all that is working for you to be productive, save time and
have a sense of peace of mine.

4. SHOULD I TIDE UP MY PLACE BEFORE THE ORGANIZER COMES?

No. First, because we need to see what you are doing wrong (in terms of organizing) to
be able to correct that. Second, because our first role as an organizer is to “help, not
judge”. So, you should not be embarrassed. That’s what organizers see and do every
day. We are not visitors or company. The simple action of inviting us in sets the ball in
motion.

5. CAN I GET ORGANIZED BY MYSELF?

Of course you can. But to do so you need to know the skills and be able to execute
them. Sometimes we know what to do, but we don’t feel like doing what needs to be
done, we either procrastinate, or we just don’t have patience to do it. I assume if you
are looking into these Q&A you probably don’t have the skills or the patience, so if that
is the case, you will have difficulties in finishing the process. But you may want to learn
the skill and try to do it yourself first. Another option is to hire me as a consultant. And I
can tell you exactly what to do and all you will need to follow my instructions.
