Beat Clutter Stress

Hiring a Professional Organizer Can Help You Beat Clutter Stress

Ever felt overwhelmed by constant clutter and disorganization in your home or workspace?  Research shows that clutter and mess drain our cognitive resources, impair our ability to effectively focus and lower our productivity – not to mention the stress we feel from living daily in a mess.   Neuroscience News points out that our brains tends to favor order.  Orderly spaces are more gentle on us because they reduce the brain’s mental load.  

It’s important to remember that not all clutter is bad.  However, if clutter and disorganization is often leaving you feeling stressed out and anxious, or if disorganization has negatively impacted your productivity, it’s probably time to consider working with a professional organizer.   

One of my clients felt that her home was often messy.  It had an impact on her social life, as she was too embarrassed to invite friends over.  She also felt that her home was small, and it was difficult to neatly organize and store things.  After teaching and guiding her through the KonMari Method, she was surprised with her organized kitchen and the amount of space she’d reclaimed in the living room for a home office.  She’d even found space to set up a nursery for her new baby on the way. 

How a Home Organizer can Change Your Life

Improve Your Well-being

Your home is your sanctuary.  It shouldn’t leave you feeling anxious.  As VeryWellMind points out,  “clutter and mental health are connected.  . . . Clutter can have a negative impact on your mental health.  Clutter can increase stress levels, make it difficult to focus and take a toll on relationships.”  The Journal of Environmental Psychology cites research results that indicate that a consequence of clutter is that it negatively impacts one’s quality of life detracting from all the psychological benefits of what we know as “home”.

Contribute to self-care

Organizing and living clutter-free is a form of self-care.  Messy homes can make us anxious and send the message that “your work isn’t finished yet”. In an article by Psychology Today, among the various reasons mess leads to stress are that clutter overstimulates our brain, making it more difficult to relax physically and mentally.  Clutter also makes it harder to keep your home clean.  If you suffer from allergies, hidden dust and dirt hide more easily in piles of clutter.   When you work with me, we’ll collaborate on a home organization system that gives you a home that’s authentic to your lifestyle and contributes to your health and well-being.

Manage the Clutter and Take Back Control

Home organizers develop clutter management systems that work for you.  We’ll collaborate and develop a system that supports your unique lifestyle, giving you a home that enhances space optimization.  I’ll also show you how to maintain the results of your tidying efforts.  The last thing you want is to re-hire a home organizer because the clutter and disorganization reappears.  As a certified home organizer, I support you and identify the frustration and challenges that prevent you from having an organized space.

Save Time and Money

In an organized home you spend less time searching for things, or buying things that you already have, but can’t find.  When you and I collaborate, you’ll define your dream lifestyle and how you’d love to have your home support you.  When you’re finished tidying up, you’ll find you’re less likely to make impulse-buys and accumulate unnecessary clutter.  

Get Support and an Accountability Partner

Decluttering can be challenging – physically and emotionally.  You get accountability and the emotional support you need when you work with a professional home organizer.  Whether you need to de-clutter, downsize, prepare for an upcoming move, or are facing a transition phase in your life, I support, guide and encourage you, particularly when you face rough spots.

Kind Testimonies from Clients

“Finding Hilda was an answer to prayer.  Living in a two-bedroom apartment with a preschooler and baby on the way, I had to declutter and organize, but had no idea how to tackle the task.  With dedication, kindness and patience, she helped me conquer what felt like a mountain.  I found the process doable and liberating . . .”

“I live in a small place and limited storage space is always a problem! Hilda helped me to de-clutter in a way that resonated with my desired lifestyle.  She helped me organize my place so that all my cupboards and drawers were not only tidy and pleasing to look at, but things were easy to find.  By the end of the process, I had such pleasure just being present in my spacious place  . . . The Konmari method as she showed me, is not to keep my precious things in cupboards and storage boxes, but to use them every day - especially now that I'm a senior and every moment counts!”

“I wanted to create a calm environment and I wanted to simplify my life (as much as possible with two small children).  When everything in a home has a place where it belongs, it saves so much time and stress.  The process felt overwhelming at first but Hilda walked me through it step by step and made it fun .  .  .”
