The Home Organizing Process

Organizing is not a quick process. It takes time and effort but is life-changing and well worth it! It’s ok if you’re overwhelmed. That’s totally normal and probably why you asked for help from our Salem, OR professional home organizers. We’ll take you through the process of getting your home organized step-by-step.

1

First, we’ll help you picture how you’d like to use the space in your ideal life. What is most important to you, and your goals and priorities for the space.

2

Next, we’ll clear the space- gather all items of the same type throughout the home/office, sort into general categories.

3

Then, we’ll choose if it stays or goes:
• Keep
• Belongs Elsewhere (like food-crusted plates in the bedroom, take to the kitchen)
• Client Homework (to dos, projects, further sorting, etc.)
• Donate / Sell / Give to someone specific
• Toss / Recycle / Shred

4

Now we design the space for function and aesthetics. This is a fun and creative process that may take some tweaking and re-working until we find what is right for you. Sometimes this requires shopping for storage solutions, but we like to “shop your home” first to utilize what you already have.

5

Then we finish up! Return the “belongs elsewhere” items to their homes, take out the trash and load up donations. Discuss homework and sourcing options.

Home organizing and systems are customized to work with your natural tendencies whenever possible.
There is no quick one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a discovery process that is tailored to your needs.
