Hi! I'm Erika. I am a professional organizer for hire, with a twist. Zoom has been used for work or keeping in touch with friends and family. Turns out, we can use it to take a look at your organizing projects and give you plans and tips on staying organized. For some, whether it's location or time constraints, in-person help may not be possible nor ideal. That's why, as a virtual organizer, I'm happy to be a 'professional organizer near me' to anyone living in the U.S.
The way to organize your home is to declutter your home. There are psychological reasons for clutter. The benefits of stress relief are far more important than holding onto feeling overwhelmed with anxiety. If you're looking for organizing ideas for a pantry, kitchen cabinets, closets, or any space, the first question is usually, "Where do I start?"...so let's get you started.
Here's a checklist on how to start to declutter:
Motivate yourself: think daily about how your future room/storage looks, makes you feel, changes your life.
Put likes with likes: this step looks different depending on your goal but the practice is a good one to begin applying today.
Less is best: keep the best, or favorite, of duplicate items if no benefit in having many (high value items need more thought).
Include family: this doesn't have to be a solitary process, ask for help. 'Likes with likes' can be a matching game for kids.
Bye-buy: buy new sweater, donate/sell an old sweater. One in, one out controls inventory.
Grow your pace: speed comes with learning what stays/goes so make progress but stay realistic.
If you're still reading, you've probably already reached your clutter problem tipping point. If you think 'I buy too much', 'I buy too many', if paper clutter is drowning you, it's okay. It takes a lot of courage to recognize a problem and to look for its solution. Looking for a 'professional organizer near me' can be stressful in itself so if you're interested in virtual organizing, let's talk!
