The first step in taking control of any space is determining what really needs to be in the home. The processing of all of the things that come and go in our lives is a constant undertaking. Many people aren't prepared for or don't want to manage the influx. In turn, things build up and quickly your space can get bogged down with "stuff" and what is really actually important to you gets buried - literally and figuratively. Having too much in our space keeps us from being our best selves. It puts us in a state of constant maintenance and doesn't allow us to take on new and exciting pieces of life. We are simply too overwhelmed.
This is where a professional organizer can make a huge impact in your life. Whether you hire an organizer to help implement processes that you can adhere to yourself or you hire them as you would a house cleaner to help maintain your personal influx of things with some regularity, an organizer should make a drastic improvement in the state of your space and in turn, your state of mind.
