While I've been organizing part-time for years, I'm now a corporate escapee looking to help Southern Californians declutter on a full-time basis.  I am drawn to organizing and decluttering because I want to find my things quickly, enjoy my space without worry and create the positive energy that is so needed right now. A lot of times people think this process should be “easy” and for some it is. But the mental energy to do all the steps – plan, sort, purge, organize, put back, haul away, donate, etc – creates decision fatigue at every step. That is why I started helping my friends with this process because I could see that a gentle hand moving the decision making along was crucial for success. There is no shame that should be attached to hiring an organizer to help – it’s the same as hiring any other service professional (cleaners, personal chefs, stylists, life coaches to name a few). While we all have the capacity to do those things, sometimes employing a professional makes life simpler.
