DIY Organizing
Are you a go-getter who’s motivated to tackle clutter and get organized, but you’re stuck on where to start?
Maybe hiring a professional organizer to come to your home to do the work, just isn’t in the cards right now. But you know you need guidance, structure, and expert input!
You're not alone. Many people want to take charge of their own spaces, but the process can feel daunting. Without a clear starting point, strategy, or direction, even the most motivated among us can hit a wall.
That’s exactly where DIY Organizing comes
in.
WHAT IS DIY ORGANIZING?
There are a couple of different ways that a professional organizer may approach DIY Organizing for a client: Virtual or in-person strategizing and planning.
Virtual DIY organizing is through video conferencing (Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, or Teams). You will work one-on-one with a professional organizer who can “see” your space without stepping foot in your home. Together you will walk through your space, discuss your goals, and then receive a customized plan tailored to you.
In-Person DIY organizing is when a professional organizer comes to your home
to evaluate and strategize, but not do the actual physical work. They will
usually create a report that outlines what you need to do, including the tools
and supplies needed to accomplish your organizing goals.
A single follow-up session or a series of sessions can be scheduled to ensure you are staying on track to your goals and have the opportunity to ask questions that help you continue your progress.
Generally, both types of support will include a
follow-up session to be sure you are on track to your goals. Each organizer may
approach things a little differently, but the root of this type of DIY support
service is strategy and accountability.
WHO IS DIY ORGANIZING SUPPORT FOR?
DIY organizing support is guidance for people who are
ready to do the physical work themselves, but want expert help to create a
plan, prioritize tasks, and stay on track.
This service can truly be for anyone and everyone who wants support, structure, and a plan to get organized, without having someone physically in their home.
This type of service might especially appeal to people
who:
- Have time to declutter but need flexibility due to a busy or unpredictable schedule
- Are budget-conscious folks who want expert-level results at a more accessible price point
- People who enjoy organizing but feel stuck or unsure of where to start, and could use an outside, objective perspective
Sometimes when we spend so much time in a space, it's
hard to see things objectively. Hiring a professional with fresh eyes can bring
insight, clarity, and help you define realistic, meaningful goals.
If you're seeking
guidance, accountability, and a customized
approach to minimizing clutter and creating a more organized environment, this
service is for you!
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DIY ORGANIZING?
Into the Mind of a Professional Organizer
Instead of doing the work for you, your organizer
shows you how to approach your space with a trained eye. You’ll receive a
step-by-step plan that outlines what to do first, how to move through your space
efficiently and effectively, and how to ensure progress. You'll also understand
the reasoning behind each recommendation, so everything feels purposeful and
achievable.
Personalized Strategy & Solutions
Every session is customized. After learning about your
space and goals, your organizer provides clear, actionable recommendations that
are designed specifically to fit your lifestyle and goals. Be open in sharing
with your organizer what your schedule looks like, so they can build a
realistic outline for you to accomplish what you need to, without you feeling
immense pressure.
Support and Accountability
Follow-up is a key part of DIY organizing. Progress
check-ins help you stay on track, supported, and motivated. This is not about
judgment or deadlines, but about having someone in your corner, rooting for
you, who helps you keep moving forward.
Many people struggle to maintain momentum when working
on their own. Having consistent support creates a structure that helps you
follow through with your intentions.
Cost-Effective
DIY organizing allows you to benefit from professional
strategy and guidance at a lower cost than traditional in-person services.
Since you are doing the physical work yourself, your investment goes directly
toward expert insight and planning. It’s a smart and efficient way to get the
results you want.
Empowerment and Ownership
When you complete the work yourself, you take
ownership of the process and the results. This builds confidence and helps the
systems you create feel more meaningful and sustainable. Once you've tackled
one space, you'll have the tools and trained eyes to approach others more
easily.
Long-Term Success
DIY organizing is more than a quick fix. It's a way to
learn how to think differently about your space. From the guidance of your
organizer, to executing the tasks, you are developing skills and systems that
support long-term organization and a calmer, more functional home.
