Horrified by Your Mess?

It's a common question...what do you do? As I begin to tell people that I am a Certified Professional Organizer, the look of horror fades over their face. Of course, those are only the people that know what that means. Yikes! It's not like I said I was a paid assassin!

So, instead of the simple smile and nod, I get, "Oh you DO NOT want to see my...(fill in the blank) desk, kitchen, garage,office, bedroom..."
Why do you think that I care? If you are not sharing my space or one of my clients, I don't care about your desk, kitchen, garage, office, bedroom...! I will never be horrified by anyone's disorganization, chaos, or mess.

Most Professional Organizers have not taken a vow to single-handedly take on the world's disorganization. Yes, we are excited to help those who want and need assistance to get control over their space, stuff, time and lives. But, we don't randomly go around judging people's "messes."

My favorite response when I tell folks that I am a Professional Organizer...I sooo need you!
And, then, I begin to care about your mess, we will tackle it together!
