You’ve been procrastinating for years. Every year you state you’re going to get organized and it just doesn’t happen. You’re using the excuse that you’re too busy. Are you just avoiding the project? It’s not going to take as long as you think to accomplish it. 

You’re emotionally in a rut.  You’re emotionally and physically drained due to your disorganization. You’re depressed, sad, and your energy is running on empty. You’re not motivated and your home is just making you feel sick.  

You’ve attempted to get organized in the past but it just doesn’t stick. There are many steps in the organizing process and many people fall off during certain steps. Where do you get stuck? Is it getting started, decluttering, creating systems or do you lose focus and get distracted easily? 

You’re lacking the organizational skill set. You want to get organized, but you don’t know where to begin. You just can’t figure out how to create working organized systems. You may have grown up in a home with disorganized parents and the skill set was never transferred to you. On the other hand, your parents were organized and did everything for you so you never had the opportunity to learn the skill set.  It’s never too late to learn this skill set.

You’ve experienced a life changing event.  You wake up one day and find yourself surrounded by clutter and disorganization. How did it get to this point?  Your organized systems have now fallen apart and you haven’t been able to maintain the systems you initially developed. You may have recently moved and don’t feel settled in your new space.  There may have been a death in the family, or you may have gone through a divorce. Having a professional to motivate and energize you may be the answer to help you get back on your feet. 

If you can relate to any of the above, it’s time to get help and make a change. You don’t have to live like this. There is help available to get you back on track. You’ll feel like a new, energized person once you get organized. It’s time to get over the embarrassment and shame and get your life back.
