Frequently Asked Questions
about the Personal Organizing Services offered by the let's get organized team.
No! Our personal organizing services include just about every aspect of your home or office that you’re willing to let us into. We’ve organized kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, storage units, sheds, basements, garages, file systems, finances, interstate moves in and out, divorces, estates, and a great deal more. If it’s legal and ethical, we can do it and probably have!
A cleaning service is great if you want your house clean for about a week. Personal organizing services will put your home, life, and mind back in order. We set up systems to help you better control your space, time, energy, and finances.
We are specially trained to work with clients with unique brain-based conditions, such as ADHD, OCD, and traumatic brain injuries. We see the person, not the challenges. We know what is possible. We make you feel comfortable as we organize while accommodating any special needs.
Yes. We can help you sort through documents, decide what to keep, what to recycle, and what to shred. We will set up a file system that you can easily maintain. We will even take away the shredding for you, have it destroyed, and provide you with a certificate of destruction.
Clutter can feel overwhelming, but we’ve seen it all. We normalize the situation and reassure our clients they are not alone. We remind them of their own unique strengths and talents and that they can do things others can’t.
Someone who has a difficult time letting go may have deep-seated reasons for being reluctant. We gently coach our clients to explore these reasons, understand them, and make informed decisions. If time allows, we can put things aside to “marinate” and then set a deadline. If the client hasn’t missed those items during that time, then they can be passed along.
Having tons and tons of things like clothes, books, and even furniture can be very overwhelming. Luckily, we have a solution. We work with many organizations that are thrilled to receive donations of unwanted things passed on to families in need. We match the recipients of gifts to the values of our clients.
When a loved one passes away, it can be a very emotional time. When the departed person leaves behind a lifetime of belongings, it can be even more difficult. We work beside our clients to sort through and decide on the contents of an estate. When needed, we call in appraisers, hauling companies, and other professionals needed to assist in organizing the estate.
Absolutely. We help you gather together, sort out, and streamline everything you need to prepare for your divorce. We use our proprietary Suddenly Single Sanity System to create a binder you can hand to your attorney. We save you time, money, and energy during what can be a very stressful time.
If you aren’t tech-savvy and using your phone for your travel plans, having a folder for your arrangements can be a big help. Our personal organizing services can help you create a “master packing list” to make sure you don’t forget anything for your trip and then help you do the packing.
When asked what they would grab in a fire, many people say, “Photos.” Organizing photos can create great peace of mind, as well as free up valuable storage space. We can help you go through all of your boxes and albums, identify the ones you treasure, and purge the blurry or otherwise unneeded ones. We can help store physical photos and/or digitize them for safekeeping.
Moving people is one of our specialties! We can help you decide which pieces of furniture to bring, what you will need, what will fit in your new space, pack what you will move, pass along what you won’t take with you, and help you unpack and settle into your new home.
We will create a fun and easy system for your children to follow, so clothes stop ending up on the floor of their rooms and start ending up in the hamper and the washing machine! Folding and putting away can be just as fun if we color coordinate and label everything, so it’s easy to pull out their outfits for each day of the week. When everything has a home and children know they are expected to clean up after themselves, stress melts away!
Absolutely. We also provide Organizing-Coaching services. This means we partner with the client in a co-created relationship. We schedule regular sessions to discuss your goals, challenges, beliefs about what is holding you back, and how you can live your best life. We are the bridge between where you are and where you want to be.
