If only it were as simple as you make it look on paper, I'd be thrilled. The fact of the matter though is that I am INEPT in the clutter removal department, I'm a collector, I keep everything and don't want to throw it out...ever Read Jason´s latest article - Barack Obama is Not Your Messiah

@Jeff
The costs of a Professional Organizer depend completely on the organizer, the service and the region (e.g., New York organizers would generally be more expensive than one in Kentucky).

In the U.S. you can check out organizers in your area at http://www.napo.net

Anyone looking for Canadian or Australasian Organizers can ask and I’ll provide those addresses too.

This is excellent advice — particularly your views on selling versus donating. I too agree that selling is just hassle and stands in the way of getting the clutter cleared out the door!!
When the clutter is gone, it’s amazing what can happen. I blog about the overlap between emotional eating and clutter — I’ve lost over 100 pounds so far and I attribute a lot of my success to the fact that my home is now peaceful and free of the chaos that used to reign

You are right about not needing more storage. I used to think our house wasn’t big enough but then I slowly came to the realization that we just needed less stuff.

The fifteen minutes a day declutter session has worked wonders for me. If I try to do more than that, I begin to get overwhelmed.

Thanks for the interesting article!

Thanks for posting my article! Yeah, outside help can be great. I have a friend who is always going over to someone's house to help them organize. It's her personal mission in life to organize the neighborhood. Read Ashley @ Wide Open Wallet´s latest article - Steve Jobs

@Alex – What does a professional organizer charge? I’ve always been the kind that just rolls up my sleeves and dives in!

Great tips. And don't forget that sometimes outside (read: non-judgmental) help is available through a Professional Organizer. Read Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome´s latest article - Goals and patience: Michael Martine interview
