Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the organizer come to me?I come to you for 1 hour for free for a 1 hour consultation and anything over that is $61.00 per hour.
-
How involved do I need to be throughout the process?You can be as involved as you prefer! The most involvement I will need from you is during the sorting & purging process. Once that process is completed, I am happy to work on my own. If you would like, however, please feel free to be part of the entire process.
-
How can I maintain the organized space?You can maintain what we have crated by doing a maintenance everyday as part of your routine. Everyone in your home should take their responsibility and get involved too. Small attainable goals will be set up for you and everyone else. I also believe that you will be able to keep things up because we found systems that you chose worked for you. I would also suggest having follow up meetings every 4 - 6 months to see you how you are doing after we have finished working together. We take the time to develop personalized strategies & systems that will work for you and your family long-term. Our goal at the end of the project is to leave you with a beautifully organized space that you can maintain on your own. If you are too busy to maintain the space on your own, or would like me to come in to refresh the space, I would be happy to do so.
-
What happens during a consultation?I first come to meet and visit with you at the location of the project. Then, we look at the space that you feel needs to be addressed.I will also ask what else is on your wish list to get done. I may do some measuring. I will assess your space/s, challenges, listen to you and hear your ideas, your wish list and your priorities. Next, I will create a plan that fits your needs and we will work together to make a plan on how to move forward, that makes you comfortable.
-
What if I feel embarrassed?Don’t feel embarrassed! I am a no judgement zone. I am a professional organizer and I take confidentiality very seriously. I also abide by the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals Code of Ethics.

-
I have so many projects that I want to get done. Where do we even start?First, it is important to remember that it is extremely important to start with small attainable goals. I would suggest starting where you feel the most stress, the area that looks the worst, or the area that is most critical to your family or office functioning. Second, I would suggest that we start out with a wish list of everything that you want to get done and we go from there and then we prioritize what needs to get done first and we have to have a discussion about time and money.
-
How long does it take to complete a job?The length of time needed to complete a job depends on the complexity and size of each project. However, BeOrganizedByBeth is committed to completing all projects in a timely manner. If there is a timeline that we need to stick to then that will guide us and we will have to be particular in what we work on. For larger projects, longer projects, we can move from room to room and area to area. It all depends on how much a client wants to get done and how much time and energy they want to invest.
