A Day in the Decluttering Zone: Confessions of a Professional Organizer

In a recent interview with SaltWire Multimedia, I shed some light on what a typical day looks like for someone in my field. It might not start with a corner office view, but it definitely involves prep. Just like everyone else, I pack a lunch, grab a water bottle – gotta stay fueled for conquering clutter! But instead of a cubicle, my destination is my client’s house, where I’m ready to transform their space.

“We just declutter, organize whatever the project is,” I tell people. Whether it’s a clothes avalanche in a bedroom or a paper mountain exploding in a home office, my team and I work alongside our clients. Our mission? To create functional, calming spaces that reflect their needs. Picture a kitchen where everything has a designated spot, making meal prep a breeze, or a home office free of chaos, allowing for laser focus.

But my passion for organization goes beyond individual clients. I’m a proud Silver Leaf Member of the Professional Organizers in Canada (POC), a group that’s boomed since its humble beginnings 25 years ago. In fact, I’m honored to serve as the current POC President  and have been a board member since 2018.

“It’s grown immensely,” I say with a smile. “We started as a tiny group of six organizers meeting a couple times a year, and now we’re over 450 members strong!” This growth reflects the increasing demand for our services. People are recognizing the power of organized spaces – it’s not just about aesthetics, but improved mental well-being and productivity too.

The POC’s mission is clear: to empower people drowning in clutter and raise awareness of professional organizing as a legitimate industry. “There’s a misconception that we’re perfect, with spotless lives,” I explain. “But that’s totally untrue. We have systems and expertise, but trust me, real homes get messy.” We’re not there to judge; we’re here to guide you through the decluttering process and create systems that work for your unique lifestyle.

So, if you’re feeling defeated by clutter, don’t despair. Professional organizers like me are here to help you reclaim your space and create a more organized, stress-free life. Imagine the satisfaction of walking into a room that feels calming and clutter-free, or the joy of finding what you need exactly when you need it. With a professional organizer by your side, that dream can become your reality.
