Month: January 2021

New Year, New Home.

It’s cold. It’s grey. You feel like doing nothing.

I always did my best, and enjoyed large projects most, when I did them with someone. Not because I wasn’t capable of doing a project alone, I just always liked collaborations more and tended to stay on task longer if I had the motivation of someone else by my side. I do my best work around the home when I’m on the phone. Laundry doesn’t seem so difficult to put away, the dishwasher is emptied before I know it and I actually cleaned out and organized a cupboard before I even hung up the phone. So much can get done In a matter of an afternoon.

I have heard time and time again from my clients about how they wished they tackled a project earlier if they only knew how easy it was going to be with the help of us (Organize Detroit).  We also hear “Tell me what to do and I can do it, but being the project manager of this is way too overwhelming.”  Having someone “think” for you sometimes can be a nice break and it can allow you to look at something or a space differently.

This is a great time of year (considering we aren’t doing much other than watching TV) to work on and think about everything we could be doing…basically, it’s a great time to tackle a project. It doesn’t have to be big…but it sure could be the BIG PROJECT YOU HAVE BEEN MEANING TO GET DONE, too.

For me I know I have a lot of pictures that once hung on my walls that will never be hung again. I’d like to donate the frames and put my pictures all together in one area. For me, I like editing spaces. Edited spaces give you freedom to make choices. More places to store “stuff” or just the freedom to know that not every space in your house is filled. I personally like owning less. Maybe not fewer shoes :), but fewer other things. After the  New Year, make time to clean up. It doesn’t have to be a formal “resolution,” just a day to clean up an area or two. Empty spaces, tidy spaces, organized spaces are all freeing to our heads. If you are like me and work better together, or just want someone to lead the way every now and then, give us a call. We can show you that a group effort of organizing and repurposing an area doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Welcome to the New Year. Love to all of you!

January is Get Organized (GO) Month!

Happy New Year!

January is Get Organized (GO) Month. This is the month to be dedicated to raising awareness to the benefits of getting organized. Go it alone, or think about hiring a professional organizer who has the ability to enhance the lives of his/her clients by creating individualized systems and processes, which can help people get organized.

Back in 2005, the Association of Professional Coordinators decided that they wanted to increase awareness of the significance of organization and the value of employing a professional organizer. Studies show that individuals waste up to an hour every day on average, searching for things that they’ve misplaced. As such, The Organize Detroit staff agrees with the sentiment and we all can stand to benefit from getting and staying organized.

Year after year, getting organized is one of the top five New Year’s resolutions; making January the ideal time to “Get Organized.”

Spring is a long time off, so now is the the perfect time to hire someone to come in and help you achieve all of your organizational dreams!

Start by writing down your new year home goals. Once you’ve listed everything out from organizing the closet to clearing out the garage, mark off what things are your top priorities. Once you know your top priorities you can have an expert come in and help you knock these tasks off of your list!

While January is Get Organized Month you do not need to knock out your entire list in 30 days. This month is perfect for starting somewhere and bringing your new organizational skills into every other month of the new year. Make quarterly plans to have an expert come into your home and help you achieve those goals!

Tell us how you plan to get organized this month!
