What IS A Home Organizing Strategist, Anyway?
When people ask me what I do, I often tell them I’m a home organization strategist. But what is a home organization strategist, anyway?
Since I don’t go into people’s homes and organize their stuff, I don’t call myself a home organizer. I’m not doing the organizing, after all. Instead, I’m providing the tools and expertise to help people organize their own homes in a way that works for them, so they never need someone else to come in and organize it for them in the first place.
A home organization strategist is someone who provides you with the things you need to figure out what kind of organization works best for you and your space, and once you know what to do, gives you precise steps about how to do it. When you work with a home organization strategist, you get just that – strategy! They are a professional whose job it is to guide you through building an organizational plan that lets you get (and STAY!) organized.
What a home organization strategist is not, however, is someone who lives in your home and knows how you use it in your real life. That’s why it’s so important to find someone who works WITH you, instead of someone who does it all for you. The best organizational strategy is one that works with the way you really use your home, which means you have to be involved in putting it together because only you know how you use your space! The goal of home organization strategy is to have a plan that makes sense and feels intuitive to you, not to have a done-for-you situation where as soon as you bring one more thing in the door, you’re back to square one. Good organization strategy gives you an understanding of how organizing really works best FOR YOU, which means each time you bring something in or take something out of your home, you know exactly how to figure out what to do with it so it doesn’t turn into a mess.
If keeping your home organized is a persistent struggle for you, you want a strategist, not an organizer, to help you discover why it’s not working and give you the tools you need in order to make it work. When organization is done right, it should feel easy and obvious, and an organizational strategist can help you reach that just-right state.
