When you think of professional organizing, you probably envision a patient, energetic team that wears matching t-shirts and magically moves throughout your home sorting, editing, and systemizing everything to your heart’s desire. And, to be honest, you’re not wrong! Some of our days look like that, and when they do, we LOVE it.
Throughout the unexpected series of events that occurred within the past year, whether due to safer at home restrictions, household preferences, your distance to us, or maybe even simple scheduling availability, we offer virtual organizing services in order to still be able to schedule you in, no matter where you are in the world!
If you don’t know what virtual organizing is, what virtual organizing professionals can do, or you simply don’t see the value in it just yet, we’re about to open your eyes to the 7 reasons why you should definitely try virtual organizing.
Let’s dive in!
What Is Virtual Organizing?
Virtual organizing is the art of helping people create and maintain systems and processes using basic principles of organization–virtually.
Simply put, virtual organizing is you in comfy clothes in your house, and virtual organizing professionals on a phone or computer using applications like Zoom or Skype, that coach you through the process, offer follow-up resources and it all ends with you having a beautiful, functional space.
How Is the Work Carried Out?
In most cases, one-hour virtual organizing sessions are scheduled once or twice a week. The virtual organizer and client will collaborate to develop a strategy in order to achieve the client’s goals, very much like they would do during in-person meetings.
The virtual organizing professional guides the client through the session, at which time, the client will do the physical work, and the virtual organizer will be there as a helping hand that provides advice.
Virtual organizing is an ideal solution for those who are comfortable with technology, are self-starters, very motivated, and are able to work on their own to get the between-session assignments done.
1. A Virtual Organizer Will Motivate You
There’s nothing worse than wanting to do something, and just not being able to bring yourself to do it. You put everything else first and let your unfinished organizing projects linger in the background. As time goes on, human nature is to get overwhelmed, and so you close the door and ignore the piles.
By hiring a virtual home organizer, they can bring you out of your cluttered shell. They help you to open up those doors, and bring light back into your life through the motivation to ‘get stuff done’ they provide you with.
2. Poor Time-Management Doesn’t Matter
Sometimes, time can get the better of us. Often, you’ll find that you lose track of your day and will need to work in the evening when most organizers are done for the day. With virtual organizing, even an 8:00 pm appointment is possible.
As long as you’re able to get online, and of course, they are too, then you can go ahead and move one step closer to completion in your organizing journey.
3. You Don’t Have a Professional Organizer In Your Area
You may not have a professional organizer in your surrounding area, or, you might just need an organizer with a particular set of skills. Regardless of the reason, you can find virtual organizing just a quick Google search.
4. You’re Looking for Accountability or Support for Your Organizing Project
So you started organizing, but now, it seems that the whole process is on pause, and has been for months! This can happen for a multitude of reasons, and it’s completely OK!
When you hire a professional virtual organizer, they can help you get back on track and measure your progress. They are here to support you throughout your whole journey, and consistently help you move your organizing project forward, aiming for completion each and every week. After all, moving forward is the key to success - you just need somebody to keep hounding you to do so!
5. Not Comfortable With a Stranger In Your Home
Many people out there don’t feel comfortable with the thought of having a complete stranger in their home. It could be down to a contagious virus, because they have small children, a sick family member lives with them, or, maybe they’re a clean-freak and have some white carpet that they would like to stay white, which can only be achieved by having as few people in your home as humanly possible.
Regardless of the reason, anybody can invite a virtual organizing professional into their home, without actually inviting them into their home. It’s the perfect way to keep that white carpet white, and get some much-needed organizing done at the same time.
6. You Appreciate Convenience
Do you find that you're constantly having to change schedules? Do you stay up extra late at night, or do you rise early? When do you have the most energy to do physical work? Signing up for virtual organizing services means that you’re also provided with a bunch of conveniences along the way. They are always there to help you out, especially when you need them most.
7. You Prefer to be Comfortable
Want to know the very best thing that virtual organizing has to offer? It’s the fact that you can organize...in your pajamas! There is absolutely no need to dress up if an organizer won’t physically be entering your house. This means that the hair can go up, you can keep your sweats on, and not have a care in the world about what you look like.
In addition to this, virtual organizers allow you to be comfortable as they swing ideas back and forth with you. If you’re somebody who loves to see things from a new perspective, but not have the idea forced on you, then virtual organizing services are definitely what you need.
organizing makes perfect sense. If you’re somebody that can clearly picture themselves changing their whole environment through speaking to a fantastic virtual organizer, then the services we provide at House to Home Organizing are definitely for you.
We started House to Home Organizing with a belief that our client’s goals are the most important factor in the organizing process, and each day, we continue to transform the lives and environments of thousands through our virtual organizing professional guidance.
