I’m often asked about the process I use as a professional organizer. I am the owner of All In Order which is a professional organizing company providing services in the Washington, DC metro area including Maryland (MD) and Virginia (VA).

Here’s my professional organizing process step-by-step:

First, a professional organizer from All In Order will conduct a complementary phone interview to determine your needs and recommend the items you’ll need to have on hand for the first organizing appointment. This saves you time and money when we come to your home or office to begin working. We also explain our policies such as a two hour minimum per appointment and our cancellation policy of 24 hours in advance. We also discuss our rate ($75/hour).

Second, we come to your home or office and evaluate the situation by touring the space(s) that need to be organized. We then discuss your organizing priorities and rate them in order importance and determine the estimated amount of time needed to complete the organizing project. The time for completion is a very general estimate because so much depends on how easily you’re able to let things go, implement systems and do your homework between organizing sessions.

Third, we get to work organizing. This usually begins in the very first appointment! We help you differentiate the clutter from the things you really need and love. Did you know that the physical act of touching an object makes it harder to part with the item? As a neutral party, we help provide the distance from your clutter that is necessary to let it go. We also help to set up organizing systems so that you learn to keep your spaces organized after the professional organizer is finished. If you backslide some or need support with maintaining systems, we’ll set up regular appointments to keep you on track.
