Most of us know there are professional organizers: people who you pay to come and get rid of your clutter and organize your life. If you are a messy person, you may have wondered about the musings of such people. Perhaps you can glean some organizing insight from their words. You should, because they’ve designated January as “Get Organized” month. We’ve come across some blogs written by professional organizers. White Space is written by Cynthia Ivie, the owner of an organizing business. She started her business in ‘98 and now has 100s of clients and 7 professional organizers on staff, her website says. Her blog is nicely designed (of course) and offers thoughtful ideas on the advantages of time management and a simpler life. Jeri Dansky just began her career as a professional organizer, and on her blog she offers advice on an array of ways to store your Christmas ornaments, new and interesting staplers and 7 gentle alarm clocks. Living an Organized Life is a blog by professional Cyndi Seidler. Her blog has some interesting ideas, although at first glance it doesn’t give one a sense of her personal thoughts. This blog has some fun ideas in it, although you’d never guess it from the name: Professional Organizing - Custom Living Solutions. But author Joshua Zerkel has interesting tidbits about new products, chronically late people and references to other articles. Organized with Style is the name of both business and a blog. They offer whimsical posts, such as a suggestion to photograph all your Christmas decorations that you really liked this year, or to bring all your spare change to a Salvation Army kettle instead of your bank. An Organized Existence is written by Michelle Lynn Goodfellow, a organizing pro from Canada. Her site has a easy-going, casual feel to it, like this recent post about organizing piles of paper “and other stuff”. She has lots of wisdom under the category of “coaching” and answers the universal question we wonder about professional organizers: “Have you always been this way?” Her answer: “Yes. Eat your heart out.”
