Do You Need Organizing Help this January?

by Debbie Correale

Get All Your Rubber Ducks In A RowIt’s a New Year, do you find yourself thinking, “Time for a fresh start … time to get my ducks in a row!”  The first step in any redesign or re-imagining of space is to remove clutter and get organized.  I am involved in the NAPO organization and have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful organizers in the Philadelphia area.  The key to long-term organization is to have a system that will work for you and your family.  Often this task is larger than we have the time or energy to handle.  In those situations, I highly recommend a Professional Organizer.  I recently asked Daniel Loya, Owner of Spaces Transformed to answer a few questions to help my readers glean a better understanding of the options available.

When do people contact organizers?  People who are losing time, space, and money due to clutter or disorganization contact me.  Also, people who have projects related to organizing reach out to me.  Some examples are:  preparing for the Holidays, taking inventory of possessions for insurance, preparing emergency kits for disasters, etc.

How long does it take?  Small organizing projects usually take a few hours.  Big projects like unpacking a home can take weeks.

Will it require a lot of work from me?  Organizing does take time and commitment.  I work one-on-one with my clients, and the results of saving time and money (and gaining space) are always well worth the time invested.

Do you pack for people who are moving?  Do you unpack?  Yes, I do pack and unpack people who are moving.  If the job is very large, I bring in other organizers to help with the project.

Do I get to be home?   Not only do you get to be home, you get to work with me during the collaborative organizing process.  This way I can achieve skill transfer so you can implement new organization systems that work for you.

How much does it cost?  The cost depends on a variety of factors such as the hourly rate ($60/hour) vs. package rate (10% off), distance traveled (if my client lives more than an hour from my office), etc.

There are lots of organizers out there, what is your specialty?  My specialty is working with busy professionals in the Center City area.  We work mostly in their homes and offices, creating systems for paper flow, de-cluttering, downsizing, and space optimizing.  Even though the bulk of my clients are working professionals, I also work with seniors, families with children, and other categories of clients.

Once I am organized, do you have a maintenance or tune-up service?  I do offer maintenance sessions (often at discounted rates) so systems I set up with my clients can be maintained.
