How Do You Decide What I
Need To Have Done?
Our initial consultation
consists of coming to your home
to see the space(s) you would
like to get organized. We LISTEN
to you as you describe your
goals and vision for the space.
We talk with you about what is
working, what is not working,
and what is causing frustration.
We then jointly decide on a plan
to help you reach your goals. |
|
|
|
|
|
Do I need to be there for
an organizing session?
We like for our services to be
something we do FOR you not TO
you. Therefore, it is important
to have you participate in the
process. There will be times
throughout the project that your
presence is required. Some tasks
can be “staged” while you are
out, and then completed with
your input upon your return.
This will vary with the scope of
each project. |
|
|
|
|
|
What is your organizing
process?
There are 3 basic stages in our
organizing process:
-
Sorting - We will
gather all items and sort
into like categories.
-
Culling - We will
then assist you in deciding
whether to keep, donate,
trash, sell, gift, relocate
or recycle your items. ECO
will guide you through this
process based on the vision
you have defined in our
initial walkthrough.
-
Organize - Lastly, we
will design and implement a
plan for the items that are
staying in your space,
working with your defined
vision.

How Long Will It Take To
Get Organized?
That depends on many factors
including the size of the space,
the amount of clutter to be
cleared, the size of the team
used and finally, the amount of
time you have available to spend
with the team. Also, your
commitment to getting and
staying organized will help
determine the pace of the
project. |
|
|
|
|
|
Will You Make Me Throw
Away Everything?
No. We will help you make
decisions about what is
important to you, what should be
honored, saved, archived as well
as what things no longer serve
you. Our goal is to help you
achieve your vision for your
space. |
|
|
|
|
|
What will happen to things
I no longer want to keep?
ECO will donate items you have
designated to your charity of
choice. Should you have items
you would like to sell, ECO can
guide you to the appropriate
resource. Items to be disposed
of will be handled according to
local regulations. |
