How do I know if I need a Professional Organizer (PO)?
When someone hires a PO usually it’s because something in their lives is not working the way they want it to. They realize that their disorder/clutter is affecting one or more aspects of their lives. They are not finding peace and tranquility in their space, whether it is the workspace or the home-space.
Look at the activities in your life such as: career, finances, family, relationships, your health and well being. Then ask yourself the following questions to help determine if you may need to hire a PO.
- Are you late for work on a regular basis because of poor time management?
- In your area of responsibility, are you efficient with your time, can you manage your task in a timely manner?
- Is your office/desk area stacked with papers?
- Are your file cabinets so full that your files are spilling over onto the floor?
- Are you able to retrieve files quickly within seconds of being asked to find a document?
- Do you duplicate efforts because you cannot find what you did with the assignment?
Finances
- Do you find that your bills are not paid on time; late fees accumulate because you don’t remember where you put the bill?
- Do you find yourself buying duplicate items because you cannot find what you need quickly and easily?
- Do you find your interest rates are higher because you missed paying on time?
Relationships
- Do you feel you spend so much time trying to put order in your home that you have no time for yourself and others?
- When you walk into your space, do you feel proud of the way it looks?
- Can anyone stop by your home in short notice to visit?
- Does the guest room no longer hold guest, but has become a storage room?
- Do you and your significant other feel happy when you walk in your home, feel fulfilled?
- Do you find yourself arguing about the mess or misplaced items?
Health and Well Being
- Is your environment energizing or is it draining you?
- Is your home a peaceful haven and a place to escape or, do you avoid coming home?
- Do you find your clutter causing distractions, stressing you out?
- Is your breathing more difficult because you cannot dust and clean your space properly?
