 It’s so exciting to visit a former client’s office and see that he maintained the results we achieved. It’s been about a month since we worked together and when I walked into the reception area the other afternoon I was immediately struck by the orderly and more simplified appearance. As a I passed the work area on my way to his private office the desk tops were no longer full of personal and food items. The staff was making great use of the containers we purchased and everything was in its place. All of the waste and recycling baskets were out of sight, as suggested. The best part was seeing the boss’s office. He maintained not only the aesthetic changes but also the clutter-free horizontal surfaces (desk and file cabinet tops).
With the help of a Professional Organizer, such as Outside In Organizer and Makeovers in San Diego, a motivated client can make and maintain results. Systems are being used for productivity and clients walk into a space that simply states, “We are the professionals you can trust.”

Sound familiar? For some people the very idea of letting go of an item is very difficult and even emotional. As an Organizer I often hear my clients thank me for helping by “giving permission” to donate or discard things. Sometimes it’s compassionate coaching, and using guiding questions to help the client make the decision. [...]
