Whether you are getting organized for yourself or because someone is pushing you to get your clutter under control definitely sets the tone for an organizing project with a Professional Organizer.  Unwilling people who are being ganged up on to get through their stuff makes for trouble.  Having people come to terms with their belongings and want to get organized creates a harmonious team and organizing experience.  Marla Stone, MSW, Retired LCSW, Professional Organizer, Lifestyle Coach and Décor and Feng Shui Specialist helps people everyday to get and remain organized.  That latter part remain organized is what differentiates her from most organizers.  Many organizers today have an un-creative process of helping people get organized by having the client put things into different categories such as keep, throw, donate, or save.  It is this redundant and foolish method that creates even more disorganization and makes the process an agonizing experience.  "People who are disorganized in their thinking process find this maddening method, just that, maddening.  Organizers who push people, invade their space and are focused on how much you get rid of are really going in the wrong direction.  This can create a divide between client and organizer and can have extremely dangerous outcomes.  It is a delicate touch and emotional intelligence that helps people make CLEAR DECISIONS about what they want to stay around.  It is ALWAYS up to the client to decide what they keep, even if they want to keep everything.  The Organizers job is to help them organize their mind so they can make clear decisions on how to store their items.  It really is about having the best organizer system in place so that belongings are protected, not in pathways, countertops or randomly strewn on the floor or in piles.  That is what makes a great versus not so great organizer. There are so many ways to be a Room Organizer and Marla has all the great closet organization ideas for better ways to store clothing and shoes.  Marla will help you and teach you how to become a fabulous closet organizer and keep closet organization years after your home and or office organization project.  Her strategies for kitchen organization is done in such a creative way, clients have even said that they like to hang out in their pantries after it is organized to the bone.
