Professional Organizers
A Professional Organizer serves as a guide, support person, an inspiration, a coach and a sounding board. Organizing is not only getting rid of things. It is effectively storing and maintaining possessions.
Your job as an organizer is to help individuals set up and live in a clutter free environment with designated "homes" for their possessions. If there are items that should be donated or thrown out, you can serve as a resource for the best place to donate or destroy items.
Organizing can be an isolating job. You don't have an office to go to everyday; you work with many different people and your significant other and friends don't always understand what you really do. Other organizers understand. By attending meetings, you meet new people that can relate to similar issues you may have encountered. Or have similar clients that have made great strides that makes your job that much more rewarding. Friendships are made and the meetings become more of a social event than a ho-hum, business meeting.
