FAQs

 

A. The Australasian Association of Professional Organisers defines a Professional Organiser as someone "creates customised solutions to help others get organised. They help their clients find balance, restore order and maximise their resources. They provide ideas, information, structure, solutions, tools and systems which increase productivity, reduce stress and lead to more control over individual resources."

 

In short, Organising Matters operates to enhance your life by designing systems which make the most of your resources.

 

 

A. There are many key times in life when using a professional organiser may be worthwhile. Such times include:

• Relocating home or office
  • Sort and declutter prior to moving. You will have less to pack, which will mean money and time saved when moving. It can also make life easier when unpacking into your new home or office. You will know what you have and be able to find the appropriate home for your items when setting up.
• Downsizing
  • Perhaps you need to move house, as the kids are leaving or you are approaching retirement. This is a great time to create a vision for this new stage of your new life and focus on your future needs.
• Consolidating two or more homes or offices
  • Combining homes or offices provides the perfect opportunity to remove duplicate items and set new systems in to place to provide the joining parties a fresh start and common direction.
• Working from home
  • Creating a dedicated, functional space within the home without distractions.
• ANYTIME!
  • Organising Matters would like to help you anytime you need one of our services to help solve your time, space or money issues.
