Mr. D'Cluter - Professional Organizing

Why Hire a Professional Organizer?
Professional Organizers (PO's) enhance the lives of their clients; by designing systems and processes using
organizing principles and by transferring organizing skills. PO's also educate the public on organizing solutions
and resulting benefits.

What do we do?
PO's are people who are qualified to assist in D'Cluttering and organizing home environments (bedrooms,
closets, drawers, pantries, kids rooms, bathrooms, garages, paper control, filing systems, home offices,
album/cd/video collections, craft rooms, attics, basements, cars... well, you get the idea), work environments
and life in general. They have a real knack for finding solutions which in turn relieves stress, tension or anxiety
thus increasing personal pride and a sense of accomplishment. PO's are typically trained in structures and
management. When these principals are applied the results include increased productivity, less stress, and a
sense of ease and control over the issues being experienced right now.

Where do PO's come from?
Typically, PO's come from the business world, with long histories of organizing experience in varied situations;
where optimum organization is a must for peak performance. PO's transfer these skills to the organizing world
when they are passionate about supporting people in having control of their lives and environments; when they
realize this is what they were meant to do!

Why do we need PO's?
Our lives are busier now than they have ever been in the past. Families have jobs (typically both adults work),
children’s activities, civic involvement, family activities, school, friends, the list seems endless at times.
Combine this with the amount of print media and things that make their way into our homes, it's no wonder we've
lost the capacity to manage every aspect of our lives; as well as we would like to; or think that we should. None
of us received formal instruction on how to manage all this in school and our parents couldn't have imagined
what our world would look like today; yet we expect ourselves to somehow "know the way"! We always seem to
have at least one ball that we just can’t keep in the air while we try to juggle everything. If we only had 2 more
hours a day just to stay on top of it all or to get the sleep we need from getting it all done! But alas, we don't.

What can PO's do?
PO's have the expertise to work with you and provide solutions that work for you. PO's have a variety of solutions
which provides you with options. You may want options or you may want "the answer", either way, we can
support your needs. PO's listen to your concerns, understand your needs, make suggestions and work with you
to come up with workable solutions tailored to your life style.
