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 a few to 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. 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. If you commit to working through the process, Kiera will create a lasting transformation, once and for all, for your space and life.

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.

Q. What do you recommend for scheduling sessions?

A.
 Commit to a few to several sessions 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. It is strongly recommended that the first two sessions be scheduled as closely together as possible, two back-to-back days to start is best, and then schedule one session a week thereafter.


Q. Is there a minimum/maximum time frame that you work?

A. Each session is 5 hours in length. This allows Kiera and the client to accomplish more, in less sessions.
