Professional
organizing is a relatively new profession, and as such it may be difficult to
know where to start and what to expect when you want to work with an organizer. You
might have seen professional organizers work on TV. Please bear in mind that
the TV programs do not show the numerous behind-the-scenes helpers. It is
difficult to get a sense of what the true timeline is for an organizing project
when the entire process is compressed in an hour-long segment. There's also the cost. The TV shows
have sponsors who provide goods and services. Your organizing project will take
longer than an hour, will be manned by you and your organizer (and perhaps her
organizer crew if she has one), and you will pay the cost of the services and
the tools. But of course, you probably knew all of that. How do you get started in finding the right person to create the order you want? These guidelines should help.
