What is a professional organiser and why do you need one?

Journal

If you’ve recently found yourself surrounded by clutter you may have considered enlisting the help of a professional organiser. This post tells you exactly what a professional organiser is (and crucially, isn’t) explains what they do, and outlines the benefits of hiring one – by someone who is one!

The clutter under the sink is overwhelming. The stuff stored under the stairs is getting out of control. And you’re afraid to even open that packed-out wardrobe in the spare room lest you find yourself knocked back by an avalanche of clothes.

Sound familiar? Clutter has become commonplace for many of us, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. And that’s where a professional organiser comes in.

If your home or office space is feeling more chaotic than calm, then it may be time to enlist the support of a seasoned professional; someone who knows exactly how to cull the clutter and simplify, reorder, and enhance your surroundings so you can thrive.

It’s as much about reclaiming your space as it is about rediscovering peace of mind and good mental health.

If you’ve finally decided that now is the time to conquer the clutter, you should definitely read on.

So, what is a professional organiser?

A professional organiser is your clutter-conquering, space-enhancing, wellbeing-improving best friend. They carefully and gently help you let go of items you no longer need so you can feel and function better.

(Here at A Good Moment Company, we call it “Letting the good in”.)

Of course, it’s not just about getting rid of stuff. Professional organisers assess your lifestyle and reorganise your space according to your unique needs and goals.

We put systems in place that enhance function, efficiency, and style, and simplify your space so everything is right where you need it all of the time.

Professional organisers are an investment in your future because a good one will ensure you’re able to keep your home organised long into the future.

They’ll empower you with systems and processes that ensure the mess doesn’t return.

What a professional organiser isn’t

We aren’t someone who simply cleans and tidies your home. Our services aren’t about hiding things away in cupboards or drawers or getting rid of specks of dust.

We’re experts at editing, simplifying, and organising your space so you can thrive in your surroundings.

And we use a powerful combination of consulting, coaching and hands-on work to turn your home into the haven you want it to be.

Who do professional organisers help?
Here at A Good Moment Company, we often work with:

  • Families/individuals/ couples/ single parents
  • People wishing to downsize.
  • People going through big life changes (separation/ divorce/ new baby/ empty nest etc)
  • Busy Professionals
  • Those thinking of putting their house on the market
  • People planning a renovation project
  • Those affected by limited mobility
  • People experiencing physical and/or mental health issues
  • Those dealing with bereavement

But really, we’re a helping hand for anyone who wants to let the good in and the clutter out.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed we’re here to support you – and we can tackle any room in your home.

Do I need a professional organiser?

Quick question: Are you…

  • Drowning in clutter but too busy, stressed, and overwhelmed to do anything about it?
  • Feeling weighed down by too much stuff, but afraid to throw anything away in case you regret it?
  • Certain your home could look and function better but convinced the mess would return before you had a moment to enjoy it?

Then you could probably use a professional organiser’s support!

You might be confident that you can tackle the clutter on your own. Perhaps you’ve already tried but quickly found yourself overwhelmed.

If you’ve tried before but had to bow out, then a professional organiser is certainly a good shout.

Decluttering can be an incredibly emotional experience. A good professional organiser can support you through it.

They’ll also put systems in place so you can feel empowered and clutter-free for years to come.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional organiser?

There are so many. Here’s just a few…

Improves productivity

Got lots to do? Then a tidy space will help you do it. Clutter has a significant impact on the brain and research shows a cluttered space negatively influences our cognition, emotions, and behaviour.

In turn that affects our decision-making and problem-solving skills, hampering our productivity.

Imagine what you’ll be able to achieve when the clutter’s gone!

Enhances mental health

A well-organised space can improve your mental health in many ways. First up, studies show it can enhance sleep quality, and we always feel better when we’re well rested.

It also significantly reduces stress. In fact, get this: a 2011 study found that women with cluttered homes had significantly higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol compared to women who viewed their homes as calm and relaxing.

Boosts efficiency

We’ve all wasted time hunting down an item we desperately needed. Imagine how much time you’ll save when you know exactly where everything is.

So much mental bandwidth is wasted when you don’t know where to find things, but the good news is, you become clear-headed and more efficient without these distractions.

Gives a feeling of control

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘Tidy space, Tidy Mind’. There’s no denying that a well-organised space can give you a feeling of control.

Our founder Jenny is a testament to this one. She knows firsthand the confidence, clarity, and peace of mind a well-organised environment can bring after going through six years of IVF and recently beating breast cancer.

When life gets tough, she likes to do what she can to take back control. Editing, simplifying, and organising her home means she can experience as many good moments as possible.
