FAQ

WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER?

As defined by The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), “a professional organizer enhances the lives of clients by designing systems and processes using organizing principles and through transferring organizing skills. Professional Organizers help individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper, and their systems for life.”

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE INITIAL CONSULTATION?

The initial consultation is an opportunity for us to meet and for me to see your space first-hand.  We will discuss what has been working, what hasn’t, and what you would like to see change.  This usually takes about 45 minutes.

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A SESSION?

During your initial consultation we will schedule your first session. Organizing sessions generally last 3 to 4 hours.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CANCEL AN APPOINTMENT?

Please let me know about a cancellation as soon as possible.  Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a cancellation fee of $15.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO START?

In the time between the initial consultation and the first organizing session I will design your space based on information gathered during the consultation.  I will also break the project down into manageable steps.  I will go over all of this with you at our first organizing session.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AN ORGANIZING SESSION?

Step 1 is sorting your stuff into manageable categories (in order to get organized it's important to know what you have).  Step 2 is going through each category and purging unused and unwanted items.  Step 3 is deciding the best place to store the things you have decided to keep.

WILL MY SESSIONS BE CONFIDENTIAL?

Yes!  All client information, situations, questions, conversations, and documents will be kept completely confidential.

WILL I HAVE TO GET RID OF ALL OF MY STUFF?

I am here to work with you towards making your home an efficient and comfortable place.  Often, getting there means that some stuff will have to go – but I will never make that decision for you, we’ll work together to make the best decision for your goal.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH THE THINGS I DECIDE TO GET RID OF?

I am happy to take the items you decide to donate or recycle and make sure they go to the right place.  Clients love this service because it wraps up all of the work we have done for the day.  Sometimes I am able to sell items for you at consignment shops, resale shops, etc.  The money received for these items will be given to you at the next organizing session.

HOW DO YOU CHARGE?

The initial consultation is free.  The organizing session rate is $25/hour.  There is no charge for hours put in before or after a session (designing your space, donating items for you, etc.).  I accept cash or check and payment is due at the end of each session.  If you would like, when we finish with an organizing session, I can give you “homework”.  This will help maximize the efficiency of our next session and reduce the number of hours it will take to complete the project.  Gift certificates are also available.

WHAT AREA DO YOU SERVICE?

I am located in Logan but I also work in and around the Ogden area.
