Are these tasks part of your New Year's resolution list? Do they seem to reappear year after year? January is Get Organized Month, why not take advantage of this celebration to launch your home and lifestyle transformation?
What is Get Organized Month?
Get Organized Month began in 2005 as an off-shoot of a highly successful Get Organized Week Community Service campaign during which members of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) held community-wide events to raise awareness that "getting organized empowers people to regain control over their time, possessions, inboxes, and surroundings." Since the launch over a decade ago, organizers and productivity specialists across the country have helped individuals, families, companies, non-profits, and educational institutions realize transformative solutions.
Take the opportunity to begin the year with the gifts of rediscovering your personal spaces, making the most of your time, and maximizing your daily productivity. Start today and leave procrastination and excuses behind. Maybe you have tried in the past and it hasn't worked as well as you hoped. Perhaps the process is too overwhelming and you have no idea where to begin. If you need an assist, professional organizers are available to guide you along the way. Professional Organizers and Productivity Consultants specialize in an array of services such as paper and electronic document management; photo organizing; closet cleanup; organizing for those with emotional challenges or needing ADD/ADHD support; eco-organizing; moving, downsizing/right-sizing, and relocation services; senior-transitioning; professional office organizing; coaching/training; event planning; hoarding situations; etc.

How to Find An Organizer Who is the Right Match for You
Humans are unique in so many ways. We are gifted with our own styles and preferences in how we maintain our surroundings. Each organizer approaches projects from a variety of different perspectives so it is important to find a match that fits your comfort levels. While price should be a consideration, personality, skill set, confidentiality, and rapport should be paramount before engaging their services. Organizing your home is a personal journey, so clearly convey your objectives, be certain your concerns are addressed, and that you feel at ease sharing this intimate part of your life. Keep in mind that most arenas for which you desire lifestyle change did not occur overnight so results may not be immediate. Give the process time to unfold. Take it one step at a time to avoid any additional overwhelm. You are likely to find that your new system will be easier to maintain after completion, but getting there requires diligence and patience.
