Three Methods to Try

  • Professional Organizer: A professional organizer will come to your home or office for a thorough assessment of your specific situation. Once you've discussed your issues and goals, he or she will offer solutions and techniques to help get your rooms and life organized and running smoothly. 

    If you have a hard time letting go of things, or if you have hoarding issues, a professional organizer may be just what you need. Professional organizer Michelle Quintana believes, "Disorganization is about what is going on inside the person's head." Once you can figure out what's making you hold on to clutter, you can begin to dig your way out. 

  • Design and Organization Coach: Some organization coaches believe function can be fashionable, too. If you need help re-organizing your home, and want to freshen up the place too, look for an interior decorator with an eye for function.
     
  • Life Coach: If you find the clutter is mostly in your mind, there are many resources available to help get your mojo back. Amy Applebaum, founder of "Boot Camp for Your Mind," offers real solutions for people who are scatter-brained or for those trying to do too much. Amy suggests to her clients that they focus on "one specific project" at a time. She helps them set a schedule and an action plan. If you work better with deadlines, consider looking into this type of coaching to help you get organized.
