Habitat For Your Sanity

Think of "getting organized as a process, rather than a destination. The objective is to “be organized” or “stay organized." Decluttering and organizing a space may take anywhere from a few hours to several days depending on the particular space and its current condition. Maintaining organization means putting systems in place that work for you.

Organizing is like remodeling, complete with the inevitable "surprises." Professional Organizers use past experience to "ballpark" the time each project will take. You can get a sense of time by starting out small. Organize a closet or cupboard before taking on an entire room. And, when in doubt, allow more time than you think you will need.
