When I meet people and I tell them that I am a professional organizer, they chuckle (sometimes groan) and often say,”Oh, now, you don’t want to see my office. It’s beyond help.” And my response to them is, “Yes, I DO want to see your office!” I am passionate about helping people experience the joys of working in a well-organized office environment. Many people—even those who ooze self-confidence in most other situations—are sheepish, apologetic even, when it comes to revealing the disorganized state of their office space. I can understand this—your office is your personal space and is a reflection of you.
Being disorganized does not mean you are a bad person…most people live in some state of disorganization, and that’s normal. The goal is to minimize the degree of disorganization so you’re not battling continual chaos, but don’t pressure yourself to be perfect. Making the firm commitment to yourself to become better organized is the first step in the process. Start small. If you find that you still struggle with taking the steps necessary to improve your organization, consider hiring a professional. It’s well worth the time and money you will spend, especially if you take into account how much time and money you waste living a disorganized life. A professional organizer can at least get you started, will provide an action plan, focus and motivation along the way. Become better organized—you’ll have more time to spend doing things you love with the people you love!
makes sense. thanks for the work you did on my wife's office space!
