Reasons Professional Home Organizers in Calgary are Vital
You will know that you need a professional organizer if you, for the third time this week, cannot find your briefcase, or your keys, or your baby’s favorite doll. Calgary is like any other town: we rush between work, kids’ school, shopping, dry-cleaning, mother-in-law visits, hairdresser’s appointment etc. The list is long and organizing your closet and your whole home if you are to be honest, is very low on your list of priorities. But, do not despair. There is help at hand. Professional organizers are now part of the mainstream help to busy families, and even businesses. They help with downsizing, relocating, home staging and simplifying our lives in general.
Why do you need a professional organizer?
Stress is a killer. Living with clutter and spending hours of your time looking for things, swamped by stuff, unable to function properly, does not make sense. We tend to surround ourselves with things, which often lose their appeal shortly after being purchased. Organizing your home is much more than sorting things and putting them in a right box: it might be just the beginning of organizing your life. We need an objective eye to help us sort between what we really need and what is just a clutter.
What do home organizers do?
Professional, well-trained and experienced organizers will review your home or an office and they will ask you to focus on what is bothering you the most. Whether it is your home office with thousands of papers littering the floor, or a garage, with a mountain of boxes which lost their origin ages ago, or your bedroom closet, which cannot get closed any more with clothes spilling out. With an objective eye, they will help you sort out things you really need to keep and those that should be given to someone who will make better use of them. Getting rid of junk is an inevitable and the most important first stage of this process. Of course, what is junk to one person is a treasure to another. You will have to do most of the work: when sorting out memorabilia, for example, sound advice of professionals is to keep one or two object which represent a certain period in your life, or a special event, and give away the rest. Clothes are even easier: the rule of thumb is: if you have not worn something in a year, the chance is you will never wear it again. Don’t even think of keeping it until it becomes fashionable again.
What happens afterwards?
Professional organizers will help you de-clutter and sort your things in a meaningful way. It will often involve purchasing containers, boxes, baskets, closet dividers and similar. But, you have to make the commitment to the newly obtained order: everything should have its space and once the things cannot fit any more, it is time to purge. Once you get used to it, you will have fun. After all, you are one of thousands of people in Calgary enjoying the fruits of labor of one of the qualified professional organizers. What happens to the clutter? They go to one of many deserving charities. The most difficult task for you will be to resist all those wonderful garage sales that crop up every spring in various Calgary neighborhoods.
