I worked as a personal organizer in Los Angeles from 2004-2006. After moving to Philadelphia in 2011, I discovered that there is a professional organizing industry! Multiple layoffs during the bad economy (from 2008 and on) motivated me to become an entrepreneur. During my research to start a business, I googled phrases describing my organizing work with executives, and I found NAPO (National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals). At that point, I discovered my calling. I became a Professional Organizer, quickly joining NAPO and NAPO-GPC (the Greater Philadelphia chapter of NAPO).<\/p>\n
Most of the time I work one-on-one with clients. I don’t get to collaborate with other organizers on jobs very often. Being part of a team and learning smart tips and tricks from my colleagues is a wonderful perk of working with All Right Moves. Plus there’s always an upbeat vibe when we work on unpacking projects. It’s fun to work in our teams!<\/p>\n
I love what I do for a living because I get to see projects through from beginning to end. I feel good knowing that my clients always benefit from saving time, space, and money after they have a more organized life. This was not the case with some of my past jobs, where it could be negative, competitive, cut throat, and incredibly stressful.<\/p>\n
My main niche is to work with busy professionals. Most of my clients already have pretty good organizing skills, but their schedules are so jam-packed that they need someone to help them manage their lives outside of work. When I step in, we de-clutter their homes and offices. I help them organize their finances and make sure they return expensive items by the due dates. We downsize and digitize paperwork so their lives are streamlined.<\/span><\/p>\n Prepare well ahead of time so you can feel at ease. After planning and managing my moves by myself way too many times, I also highly recommend hiring professionals. Let them do all the planning, figure out the logistics, packing and unpacking for you. Moving is such a stressful event in life, so why not delegate much of the work to a reliable company like All Right Moves?<\/p>\n Dan Loya is a NAPO<\/a> professional based out of New York City, NY.
