What happens when you contact a professional organizer?
When S.O.S. receives a call from a potential client, arrangements are
made for a one hour consultation. This provides the opportunity to see
exactly what the situation is and what problem areas are bothering the
client the most. The client and organizer then sit down to discuss
what the vision or goals are for the client. We work together to
prioritize what has to be done in order to tackle the client's biggest
challenge first.
Will you make me throw away all my "stuff"?
No. Many people think when they call an organizer they will have to "throw out" everything, start over and spend a lot of money doing it.
Stevie Organizing Services' goal is to help you decide what you want to keep and then offer you creative solutions for easy retrieval.
The only thing you need to buy when S.O.S. is coming is a box of garbage bags.
How long will it take to get me organized?
This is a difficult question to answer because every situation and person is different. Many times it depends on how quickly the client can make decisions as to what will stay and what will go. Always keep in mind that this situation did not happen overnight and it will not go
away overnight. The object is to always get you organized as
efficiently and quickly as possible with a system that works for you but is still flexible and easy to maintain.
How can an organizer help long term?
S.O.S. is always available to set up a maintenance schedule suited to you. Whatever interval is set up ( once a week, every other week,
once a month, etc.) helps to keep you on track to achieving your
long term goals.
Does the professional organizer do the work or does he/she tell me how to do it?
Professional organizers work both ways. It is essential that the
client be involved in the organizing process when working with paper piles and setting up files.
When working with "stuff" it is sometimes helpful to the overwhelmed client to have the organizer do a "general sort" of the items. This allows the client to come into a more organized setting and
calmly and easily make decisions about the categorized items. S.O.S.
is very willing and always interested in teaching new systems and techniques to the client.
I am a very private person. Will my sessions with a professional organizer be confidential?
Stevie Organizing Services will keep strictly confidential all client
information, both business and personal. S.O.S. will use proprietary
client information only with the client's permission. S.O.S. will not
use any client information to benefit myself or my firm, or reveal this
information to others.
I've always been disorganized. Is there really hope for me?
Everyone seems to be competing for the "Messiest Person Award." I've
seen everything from turtles in the living room, possums in the garage
to little pathways in the home. There is nothing that will surprise
me. I welcome the challenge. I see an opportunity to meet the goal in
my business which is to help people by eliminating the clutter and
disorganization that causes so much stress in their lives.
Can you afford to be organized? Can you afford not to be?
The average person on an average day spends from 30 minutes to 2 hours
looking for things! Do you currently have your possessions stored in an
off site storage unit? How much are you spending each month for
that? People worry about what getting organized will cost. But have
you ever added up the amount of time you waste looking for things.
Being organized not only saves you time and money but can also give you
peace of mind. It's hard to put a price on that.
Is there a one-size fits-all organizing solution for everyone?
NO! Every person and business is unique. Each person has their own
definition of clutter. Dealing with the clutter in your life is a very
emotional and psychological issue. Each situation is brand new,
however, the process of getting organized is similar regardless of what
area is being worked on. The ultimate solution must be customized to you.
What about your house and your stuff?
People often wonder what my own home looks like. Contrary to popular
belief, I do not live in a concrete bunker with a single light bulb. I
live in an ordinary home with stuff in it. However, I have carefully
chosen what stuff I want to take care of and have the items in my life
that I love, want and use. Being an expert in simplicity follows me
through my day and my life. Having a tranquil environment in my home
allows me to function effectively and efficiently.
Events & Seminars
What can I expect to get out of a workshop?
S.O.S. conducts its workshops, presentations and seminars to be as
informative as possible. Each participant will come away with at least
one bit of information they can put into immediate, practical use.
How often are they held?
As soon as new seminars, workshops or presentations are planned they are
listed on the website calendar. Sign up today on the contact page for
more information
If you have a group that would be interested in a presentation, please
email S.O.S. with the details and I'll get back to you with available
dates and times.
