FAQ: DIFM?

Will you declutter and organize while I'm away from the home?

I hear you, your time is precious and there are only 24 hours in a day. However, my short answer is “No.”

I only work side-by-side with clients. I have two main reasons for this.

First, I don't know what you value if you aren't there to tell me. I see a broken piece of wood and see trash. You see a broken piece of wood and know exactly what piece of furniture that it belongs to. I see movie stubs and think they are sentimental treasures. You see movie stubs and see trash. I can reverse both of those example as well. So as you can see, I need you in order to declutter your home.

Second, I can't help you create maintenance systems if you aren't there to let me know how your household runs. Left to my own devices, I may recommend a shoe spot inside the back door. With you there, I find out that your family doesn’t even use that door - making a shoe spot there unreasonable. Again, I need you in order to create maintenance systems in your home.

You may be wondering how it works then to work side-by-side with me as a Professional Organizer. Questions. Lots of questions. The fun kind. The kind that get you to understand why you have something and whether you want to keep up with it or not. Questions that get you thinking about how you really live your life, how you want to live your life, and get you on the road to living that life.

It takes work, as most good things in life do! I make it fun and engaging and effective. We do enough to get the job done without burn out and giving you tools to use for a lifetime.
