Whether you are organizing a closet, kitchen, garage or any other space in your home or office the key is to remember what your goal was in starting the project.

Key#1  Remember the goal you want to achieve.

Key #2 Know the tools that are available to you.

What tools will you need to finish the job?  A new file cabinet?  Organizing bins, shoe boxes, labeler or masking tape?  Identify those tools so you don’t have to go looking for them while you are organizing.

Key #3  Who do you know who is willing to help you?

Now, I didn’t say who could do it for you.

This  person or persons must be able to envision the completion of the goal you set and must be able to take direction.  You are in charge of how you want it to end up, not the general person you have helping you. (like your mom, sister, sister-in-law etc.)

Key #4  Hiring a professional organizer who can help you.

Nine times out of ten a professional organizer will help guide you in how  you approach the job.  By directing you, she/he is teaching you the methods they have found work in a variety of homes or offices.

Key #5  You don’t have time to have someone come in to help you.

Alright!  One of the newest services among organizers is the one where busy professionals/busy moms etc have a organizing coach.  Organizing coach’s are not on site helping you move your papers, belongings around.  They work with you by phone, by video conferencing, by email and pictures to help you de-clutter, organize and maintain your newly organized space.

It is a phenomenal way of working, however it is not for everyone.  Some people still need that hands on experience.

The biggest plus to this is you do your work, the organizer guides you, and it normally can be a cost-effective way of getting organized!
