What do you Do?

You're a Professional Organizer? What exactly do you do?


I get this response a lot and although I give a general explanation of my services, it is sometimes difficult to explain my process apart from the actual hands on tasks that organizing involves.

I was discussing this problem with a writer client of mine and we came up with the brilliant idea of creating a blog that followed us through the process of organizing her office and home, so that readers can understand what exactly I do.

She is a sole proprietor in her second year of business. The issues she faces are typical of a small business: challenges with life and work balance, scheduling and time management, paper and filing systems, computer and data management, record keeping and all the issues that come with running a small business out of a home office.

Each week we will be tackling a different area of her office or home with the goal of setting up systems to improve effectiveness and enhance her life.

Follow along and see the solutions we implement.  You can also post questions of your own and watch for answers as they are posted

Happy Organizing!
