\"NAPO<\/p>\n

Q: Why did you decide to become a Professional Organizer?<\/h3>\n

I love organizing.\u00a0 It always seemed to be the first project I was given at every job I\u2019ve ever had.\u00a0 It was a natural progression for me to go into organizing exclusively for my career.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: Why should people choose a NAPO professional over other non-NAPO service providers?<\/h3>\n

NAPO is our professional association.\u00a0 The acronym stands for National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals.\u00a0 Requirements of our NAPO<\/a> membership include a superior code of ethics, as well as a strong emphasis on continued education.\u00a0 Through these, we provide the highest quality of service to our clients.\u00a0 Anyone can say they are an organizer but for the best service, you\u2019ll want to go with a NAPO organizer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: What types of clients do you work with?<\/h3>\n

I work with a wide variety of clients.\u00a0 Most often I work with families, seniors, and young professionals\/college students.\u00a0 The families I work with are usually overwhelmed with clutter and chaos in their homes.\u00a0 My senior clients are often getting ready to move or have surgery.\u00a0 They need some help getting things in order to make the process less stressful.\u00a0 The young professionals and college students are some of the most diverse job opportunities.\u00a0 We work together to overcome mental clutter, their struggle with time management, life skills, and establishing strong routines.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: How would you describe your method of organizing?<\/h3>\n

Practical solutions. Many people want a “Pinterest<\/a> Perfect” home or office but for most people that is a bit over ambitious.\u00a0 It can also be very stressful to maintain (and often people feel disappointed when they can\u2019t maintain perfection).\u00a0 With my clients, we focus on the ultimate goal and work backward from there, focusing on what can be accomplished and maintained for the long term. <\/em><\/p>\n

For example, if you have 3 small kids you probably won’t have a ton of success with a pristine craft room: with all the supplies in individual sections of color-coded pegboard and crayons divided by specific color in glass apothecary jars on beautiful glass shelves.\u00a0 It just isn’t practical for real families with real kids.\u00a0 You can, however, still have a well-organized space where the kids can be creative and still maintain a clutter-free space.\u00a0 Simple tricks like image labels (for kids that can’t read yet), easy open and easy close bins, and low easy-to-reach shelving are just some ideas for making this work.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: Can you share one of your favorite organizing products with our readers?<\/h3>\n

Ahhhhh, there are so many great ones!\u00a0 But I think I can narrow it down to just two.\u00a0 First off, the label maker (I use the Brother P-touch from Amazon<\/a> with a full keyboard) it is so easy to use and the tape is strong enough to make it through my dishwasher without coming off.\u00a0 An equally great product is the bamboo box drawer organizers set (my favorite are the Seville Classics 5-Piece Bamboo Storage Box Drawer Organizer Set from Amazon<\/a>).\u00a0 They can so easily be mixed and matched and integrated into almost any drawer for customized organizing.<\/em><\/p>\n
