Personal Declutter Consultants – Many Celebrities Now Use Them, Shouldn’t You?

Shouldn’t you get a professional organizer to help you tidy up your life? So what exactly does a Professional Organizer do?

There are several aspects to personal decluttering,and they can be broken down into these main headings.

Decluttering Your Home

Which would you rather live in – a medium size house that is decluttered and has a “spacious” feel, or a large house that is cluttered and feels cramped? Often it is not about the size of your house, but what you do with it. And just as you need a Personal Trainer to motivate you to fitness, a professional Declutter Consultant can motivate, inspire and guide you to a fitter house!

For many people, the worst room in the house is the garage or spare room. The plan prepared by many Professional Organizers includes:

• The Keep It Stuff
• The Garage Sale Stuff
• The Charities Stuff

One of the tricks a Professional organizer uses is to help you make some money by working with you on a Garage Sale; another is the “feel-good” element of helping others less fortunate by donating what you no longer need.

If you are moving house, getting professional help can actually pay for itself. Declutter your house before you list it for sale – Space Sells! If you pay a Professional Organiser a few hundred dollars and it adds a few thousand dollars to the selling price, everybody wins. And it makes the move oh so much easier!

Decluttering Your Office

There are normally two aspects to this – decluttering your office generally and, perhaps most importantly, decluttering your desk space.

While it takes time to organize your desk, it is short-term pain / long-term gain; the benefits in productivity from a tidy workspace far outweigh the time it takes.

Many declutter consultants believe moving everything but the furniture and office equipment out into a separate room is the way to go. The danger of reorganising the paperwork within the office is that you end up just shuffling paperwork. If it is completely out of the office, you need to decide what goes back and where, working towards having the things you use most often in the most accessible place.

Also, vertical filing is really important, as horizontal filing immediately attracts more paper. It is annoying when you want a file on the bottom of the pile, you are much less likely to put it back where it belongs. Vertical filing can go into magazine holders while you are sorting and each section still has it’s home.

Personal Decluttering

This often starts with the wardrobe. If you have not worn it in a year, it should be on its way to help the homeless. Makeup and medicines can be fun – see how many things you can find where the use-by date has come and gone!

Personal decluttering has many benefits, including a sense of enhanced well being, more personal peace and increased creativity.

As you declutter your personal space, other benefits start to flow. You start feeling better about yourself and so may get your exercise program back on track, get serious about improving your social life, etc.

Just as a Personal Trainer can motivate you to better health physically, so a Personal Declutter Organizer can help motivate you to improve the “fitness” of the space you live in, leading to increased wellness generally.
