| People today have more space, more stuff, and less time than ever before. But with the luxury of “more” can also come more clutter and more disorganization, making the need for professional organizers greater than ever before. So it’s not surprising that according to the industry authority, the National Association of Professional Organizers® (NAPO®), the professional organizing industry is booming. More than 135,000 clients were served nationally by NAPO® members in 2006. Here in Ashburn, local NAPO® member Maria White is available to help combat the overwhelming feeling homeowners can face when they know something needs to be done, but just aren’t sure where to start. It’s proven that organized people save time and money, and reduce stress and frustration levels. There is no one right or wrong way to get organized, but a professional organizer will take an objective look at your space and give you parameters on what to keep, what to toss, and where to take action so you can reap the overall benefits that being organized has on your life. Many people could use the help of a professional organizer, and they don’t even know it — because organization is a learned behavior many people were never taught. But NAPO® members help improve their clients’ quality of life by transferring organizing skills that last. Rather than stepping in to clean out someone’s pantry or garage for them, professional organizers teach organizing skills, helping our clients to find what they need when they need it. When a client is able to put those skills to use after we’re gone, we’ve really helped them save time and money, reduce stress, and improve their quality of life for the long run. |
