How Long Does It Take to Get Organized?

Q. How long will it take?

A. Most clients have years of accumulation in their homes and offices so it takes several sessions to accomplish organizing goals. Some clients also like routine maintenance visits.

Organizing is a process, and not a "quick fix." It didn't take you overnight to get disorganized, so it's not going to be an overnight process to get organized. It's a process. And the biggest thing that Kiera is going to help you with is getting to the CORE reasons, emotions and behaviors as to why you've been struggling with disorganization.

The average room, not including closets, in a home will take about 2-3 days of solid work to complete, and the average one-person office will take about 3 days to complete. However, some small jobs (like a bathroom) will take less, and some big jobs (like a basement or overstuffed garage) may take more. If it's chronic disorganization status or hoarding, it will take even longer to get through all of the piles and above average amount of stuff accumulated in the home or office. It also depends on how well you complete your homework--some clients are great at getting goals accomplished in-between sessions, making the process faster. Either way, the job will be completed when you hire Kiera Rain, Bay Area Professional Organizer.

Plan to commit to one session a week to gain control over the clutter and have systems in place for functionality. The commitment to follow-through to the end, allows Kiera to help you get to the CORE issues of your disorganization, breaking bad habits and clearing the clutter once and for all.
