The three handmaidens of clutter are passivity, procrastination and perfectionism.  Passivity is conquered by starting small in one area and completing it! 

Many customers are motivated to call a professional organizer to help them over the hurdle of procrastination.  “Eventually the effort to avoid a task becomes greater than the effort needed to do it.” (Organizing for the Spirit)  Walking by that overflowing stack of papers makes you feel bad!  Then you are dealing not just with clutter but with guilt as well.  Perfectionists often hold onto to clutter awaiting just the right person to give their stuff to, or the most environmentally correct way of disposing of it.   

Clients tell me that purging their stuff and getting their home in order makes them feel that a weight has been lifted from them.  So shed your mental clutter this summer, let go of your junk and unclog your life! 

It’s time to get rid of all that STUFF that is weighing you down and cluttering your life!  Do you pay someone to clean your house, mow your lawn, or do your taxes?  Paying a professional organizer to help you conquer the clutter is worth the investment.
