What can a Professional Organizer/Productivity Consultant do for me?
When you hire a professional organizer or productivity consultant, you are hiring a skilled specialist trained to help people create order where it is lacking. These professionals use proven principles to develop solutions to meet the unique needs of their residential and business clients. They provide support and motivation to the client throughout the process and they teach the client how to maintain the organization and to continue to be productive.
What do I need help with?
Professional organizers and productivity consultants offer a wide range of residential and business services, so being specific as to what you would like to accomplish to become better organized and productive will help in finding the best service provider to help you.  Examples of services include the following:

Establish a budget for your project based on your conversations and decide what feels most comfortable to you.

Why is it important for my professional organizer/productivity consultant to be a member of NAPO Minnesota?
