What is a Professional Organizer?

September 15, 2022

Let’s talk about what a professional organizer is and whey they do. 

A Professional Organizer assists individuals and businesses improve their organizing systems and process. Their primary goal is creating and maintaining organizational systems by teaching others the basic principles of organization. 

As one of their main jobs, Professional Organizers help clients reduce excessive clutter (paper, books, clothing, shoes, office supplies, home decor items, etc.) in the home or the office. Additionally, they can assist with financial organization, downsizing, change of life transitions, and other property organization and management.

“Professional organizers tackle the challenge of decluttering by asking non-judgmental questions and providing honest feedback. They know how to get to the root of why some possessions remain untouched and can help a person decide how different types of belongings relate to home organization goals. For unwanted belongings, professional organizers can assist in planning the disposal, recycling, donation, or sale.”

Some professional organizers, like Tina Curtis of Curtis E Organizing, maintain professional accreditation qualifications with organizations such as The Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD). ICD certification all focuses on chronic disorganization and a holistic approach to working with organizing and productivity clients. Understanding the “why” of disorganization is as important as the “what,” and this understanding enables Tina to directly and compassionately address the underlying issues. 

At the heart of it, a good professional organizer is an excellent problem solver. From your pantry to your financial records (and everything in between), Tina starts by assessing your current situation. From there, she determines what’s working and what needs improvement. Finally, working with you, she creates a sustainable solution to your organizational problem. Involving you in the process and teaching you how to maintain the newly created organizational system is critical. Anyone can come and clean your home, but if you don’t know how to keep it clean, odds are, it’ll get dirty again- quickly.
