Levi KeswickSo you’ve hired your professional organizer but aren’t sure what to expect. You might be a little nervous about your visit, but we’re here to help. What should you do before the organizer arrives? Read on to find out.
Have a Plan
You mustn’t dominate the organizer’s visit when they come—they’re the expert, not you. However, you should know what you want to organize and your main points. Does your closet need work? Do you need to know what items to throw away and what to keep? You should also know what the most cluttered places in your home are. Try to visualize what your organized space will look like so that you can convey this vision to the professional, and you guys can work together.
They Aren’t Judging You
Trust us; they’ve seen far worse than anything you have going on. Have you ever seen that show Hoarders? Well, they’ve probably seen worse than that. Being nervous that they’ll judge you would be equivalent to being self-conscious about going to the doctor. Your doctor has seen everything, and so has your organizer. They understand why a person may have clutter, and they won’t judge you for it.
Don’t Clean Before They Come
We know this seems counterproductive, but you shouldn’t clean your space before they come. They need to see the problem’s fullness before tackling it adequately. If you wouldn’t clean a toilet before a plumber comes over, don’t organize your clutter before your organizer comes over. This will also cause you to waste money. After all, you’re doing their job for them. Stop hiding the mess and start fixing the problem. It’s the only way to get rid of the clutter. This is the best thing to do before your organizer arrives.
In short, having a professional organizer come to your home is huge, but don’t do their job for them. Instead, relax and collaborate with them to develop the best vision for your home. You’ll be glad you did when your home is decluttered and tidy.
