Of 400 adults polled in a November 2008 public survey:

• 65% noted that their household was at least moderately disorganized

• 96% felt they could save time every day by becoming more organized. Of those, 45% said they could save at least 30 minutes each day — or more than an entire week per year — if they were more organized at home.*

HOW CAN A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER HELP?
Today it seems we have more stuff and less time than ever before. Many people are overwhelmed by even the thought of organizing and don't know where to start.

Often a life-changing event, like a move or a new baby, can cause disorganization in a home that was clutter-free before.

If you are ready to take action, we can help. Together, we go over your individual situation and goals. Then the professional organizer provides solutions that will create a functional, stress-free space. We keep you focused and offer guidance and support throughout the entire process.

Arranged Smartly takes pride in creating spaces that function well and look great. We can assist with decorating choices such as paint color, practical and attractive furniture arrangement and placement of art.

ISN'T ORGANIZING ABOUT GETTING RID OF STUFF?
It can be. But it's also about choosing the best home for an item so it can be found quickly and much more. The client always makes the final decision about discarding items.

HOW DO I HANDLE ALL OF MY PAPERS?
Every day papers flow into our homes and it can be a challenge to keep up. Misplaced bills or checks are costly--not only financially but in lost time and frustration. A professional organizer teams with the client to set up a filing system that works for them, is easy to maintain and eliminates stress, confusion and mounds of paper.

WHAT TYPES OF ORGANIZING SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
Our services start with a consultation that lasts an hour to an hour and a half. It includes an in-depth discussion about the client's goals and we offer tips and techniques. From there, we put together a to-do list for you to implement or we can schedule time for an organizer to lead you through the process. Best of all, we can structure our services to fit your budget.

Hands-on assistance with a professional organizer is scheduled in three-hour increments, for up to six hours in one day. You can save 10% to 15% by purchasing a package of hours. Call us for details.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN ORGANIZING SESSION?
Don't clean up your space--it's important that we discover what your organizing challeges are. It's also a good idea to make the most of your time on organizing day. That means eliminating distractions such as phone calls and making arrangements for the care of young children. If you are working with a professional organizer for a full day, a one-hour lunch break will be taken at midday.
