How is CANADA doing? The stats are in...
Last November the POC (Professional Organizers in Canada) conducted a Marketing Survey to over 1200 people accoss Canada. Results of this survey indicate that 8 in 10 Canadians reported to being disorganized.
· 7 in 10 who said their workplace is disorganized: commonly said their desk was in the worst shape.
· 34% of disorganized Canadians said that "Time Management" is the most disorganized part of their life.
· 91% of disorganized Canadians feel that disorganization negatively impacts their lives.
The good news: Professional Organizers are here to help.
Just because you don't know how to organize a desk, or know how to tackle the clutter in your home, doesn't mean you need to suffer any longer. We will bring the plan, the products and our knowledge to you.
It's ok that you don't know how to organize, that's what professional organizers are there to help you with. Just like you hire a accountant to do your taxes, a mechanic to fix your car or a massage therapist to get rid of aches and pains.
It suprizes me that not too many people seem to know we are out there to help, please forward this website to friends, family and associates in need.
If your clutter is driving you crazy, try this on.
It's time for the Olympics here in Vancouver, so why not take my Olympic Organizing Challenge and be a Gold Medal Winner in your own home or office?
If your household clutter is making you crazy, here is my invitation for you.
Here is what you can do to participate:
Choose your challenge: Take a look around your home and identify areas that you want to organize and de-clutter.
Plan to succeed: Grab your note pad and make a list of your priorities and set some deadlines. (Start small if you like, perhaps only one or two specific tasks. Tip: be realistic and plan out your actions to make it happen.)
Submit your entry: ad a comment to this blog post that explains your commitment to your project, whatever it may be. (Start this post with the words: "My Challenge is:")
Participate actively: Every Saturday come and post an update and share the good news. (When posting the update, start your post with "My Update:")
The Olympic Organizing Challenge will end March 31st.
Award Certificates for GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE will go to the participants that enjoyed the best results and put in the most effort.
Need Help?
Just like any other service provider, professional organizers like me are here to help you save time and money. We can't always do everything by ourselves and sometimes we need help to stay on track and achieve our goals, and that's ok. If you have trouble getting started or staying on track, consider calling me and getting organized once and for all.
Accept the challenge, enjoy the feeling being organized can bring. And please remember, to pass on this information to anyone you know that can benefit from a home, an office or a life more organized.
"I am happy to announce that I have recently accepted the role of Treasurer for the BC Chapter of the P.O.C. Canada's Professional Organizers Association.
It is not the first time I have signed up for an executive role to help support the organizations I have been involved in, and I am sure it will not be the last. Yet, I expect it will be rewarding as always.
I look forward to becoming more involved in my industry and community as the years progress and learning new skills in which will help me serve my clients even better."
