5 Tips to Make the Most of Virtual Professional Organizing

Interested in a virtual organizing package but not sure if the process will be as valuable as an on-site professional organizer? It absolutely can be! If you’re simply overwhelmed with your space and can’t find a starting point, hate shopping for organizing solutions, or don’t agree with a partner on how to tackle the specific project, a Self SORT Package provides you with an excellent step-by-step Guide to reclaim your space in the name of clutter-free living!
 
For those new to working virtually with a professional organizer, here are five tips for making the most of a virtual professional organizing package:

---

1. Identify the entire scope of the project
It’s common (and completely understandable!) to take on an organizing project and not realize that you need to consider more than one space at a time to make the most of your organizing capacity. Maybe you are interested in organizing your kitchen cabinets, but you’ll also be considering how to store some of the items taking up precious counter space in your dining room China cabinet. Knowing your location options for the items you’re considering organizing, even if those locations are outside of the immediate project space, can help your professional organizer provide a more comprehensive guide.

2. Take more pictures than you think you should
We get it—you don’t want to show anyone else your literal dirty laundry! But those nitty-gritty places in your home that you are most resistant to photograph are the parts of your home that make our organization hearts soar! By taking pictures of the insides of cabinets, drawers, closets, and storage bins, your organizer can organization solutions that will take every last bit of clutter and mess for you. So get in there and photograph!
 
3. Provide interior measurements of shelves and rooms
Part of your Self SORT Guide will be a digital shopping list for containers or organizing solutions that fit within your pre-determined budget. When taking measurements of your space, take measurements on the inside of the shelf or cabinet in question. By measuring the interior spaces, your professional organizer can link organization solutions whose dimensions will actually fit within your space.

4. Follow the guide step-by-step, as the organizer provides
It might be tempting to skip ahead or go out of order when you receive your Self SORT Guide. Don’t do it! Work through your Guide in the order provided as best you can. Your professional organizer prepared it in a specific sequence to help you declutter, contain, and organize with a great deal of intention. By following the Guide step-by-step, you’re actually physically and psychologically decluttering your space in a method that’s more likely to provide you with the results you’re seeking.
 
5. Provide feedback!
