Professional Organizer - Anyone hire one in the area?

I'm home today trying to organize my life a bit and am a little overwhelmed. Anyone hire a professional organizer? How much, what did you have them do and overall how was the experience? 

TIA!

Re: Professional Organizer - Anyone hire one in the area?

  • I've been hired by friends/family as an organizer and they generally paid by the day rather than hours worked. Although this isn't what you asked, I would re-visit their houses and feel disappointed to see my work demolished. I think the organizer is good as a jumping off point to get functional, then you should maintain. If you view the organizer as a be-all, end-all you will be severely disappointed. I don't know if you want an organizer for your house (like rooms) or for your schedule, but the principal is the same either way.... they get you back on track, and if you're motivated and stick to it, they can be a great tool to keep you running smoothly :) 
  • I follow this organization blog and this woman is amazing. She has tons of good ideas on her website.

    If you were looking for someone to help give you ideas of how to organize a space, she offers those services remotely for a reasonable fee. If you are in a situation where you need someone to actually help you do it, that wouldn't work but if you are just sort of stuck for how to organize things, she may be able to help.

    Good luck and I hope you find what you need.
