Why do I need a professional organizer?
Organizing is more than just straightening up. Professional organizing creates a radical shift in your living and work spaces. Systems and structures are created that keep the transformation in place and permanent.

How many hours does it take to organize?
Several factors are incorporated in project estimates: room size, current organizational status, and your motivation level. Generally, a small office, bedroom, closet, or kitchen pantry will take only a few hours. Larger areas, such as garages, attics, and basements, often take longer. Over the years, we've found that having two organizers on site during projects exponentially speeds up the process. We're the fastest organizing team in the Bay Area. We pack tighter, stack smarter, and word harder. We're committed to impeccable quality.

What if I feel embarrassed about my mess?
Lots of people are embarrassed about their clutter and never do anything about it. They collect, hoard, hide and are stuck in a vicious cycle. Feel embarrassed, and then get over it. Hiring a Professional Organizer takes the emotional charge out of the project. You can count on SF Organized to keep your dirty secret private and confidential.

Do I have to throw away my things? Who decides what I can keep?
No, you do not have to throw anything away. And, this will be an opportunity to let go of things and clutter that take up your space, drain your energy, or decrease your productivity. Utimately, it's up to you what you choose to throw away or let go.
