Written Plan

Some clients prefer doing the work on their own but aren’t sure where to start or how to proceed.  In Its Place can provide an objective viewpoint and a roadmap to success that is just the jump-start you need. 

Our written plan gives a summary of the issues and goals discussed during the Needs Assessment, as well as a detailed plan of action for making it happen.

Phone Follow-up

Follow-up sessions by phone are available after your Needs Assessment to review your progress and to problem-solve any difficulties you may encounter along your path to organization.

Hands-on Organizing Sessions

Your In Its Place professional organizer involves you in the organizing process, helping you to sort your items and to decide what to keep and what no longer fits in your life.  In Its Place also finds a new home for those items you no longer need through recycling, donation, sale, and/or consignment.  In Its Place then works with you to create systems to use and store what you do keep, systems that support how you function and make the most efficient use of your space.

Most clients find it beneficial to have a professional organizer work alongside them throughout the organizing process, not only to keep them on task and reach their goals, but also to learn skills and changes in behavior that help them stay organized.  In Its Place provides hands-on organizing services with clients in both residential and business settings.
