How do organizers work?

After speaking with you on the phone and assessing your needs we would come out to your home
or office. Depending on your individual requirements we may bring products with us. These
products may include bins, files, drawer organizers etc. At Organize Now we do not have an up-
charge on the products that we provide, our cost, is your cost.

Once at my home what do you do?

We ask that you do not clean up before we come. We like to see the areas of clutter and where
they are forming. We will break down your items into three groups; donate, throw away and keep.
Once they are decided upon, we will organize your items and create an individual system that will
keep you organized.

Do I need to be there when you are working?

We would certainly like for you to work along with us but it is not necessary. We do need you to
determine if the items being de-cluttered are going to be kept or not. We do the hard work, you just
point and decide. By working along side us, we hope that we can teach you strategies to keep
organized.

What do you do if I need help with my home office?

Again, after assessing your needs we will come to your home and set up a complete filing and
paperwork flow for you. We will go through old boxes and determine, according to guidelines,
what need to be filed, shredded or thrown away. We set up work areas and systems that meet your
individual requirements. We also can help with suggestions and training for computer software.

What do I do with all my papers that need to be shredded?

If you have too much to shred by your self you can call a professional shredding company that
comes out to you home with a large shred truck. There is a wonderful service by Cintas that will
do one time large shreds at your home or office. Please call Todd Wolfe at 708-345-8392, ext. 202.

How can you help me in my office?

We can create innovative storage areas for you, set up work- stations such as packing and
shipping, billing and receivables. We can setup filing systems, do desk organization, and individual
coaching to prevent missed phone calls and deadlines. We can help implement work flow areas to
improve productivity.

How do you charge?

We charge by the hour. On certain jobs that we may be bidding on we may give a fixed dollar quote.

Why choose Organize Now over another organizer?

Organizing is our full time job, it is our only profession, thus we have a great deal of experience. At
Organize Now we work as a two person team. This way the job gets done much faster and gets
you up and running usually in one session. This always leads to greater savings to our clients. Our
hourly rate is usually less than most other organizers respectively. We can also bounce ideas off of
one another and come up with more innovative solutions.

Do you do consultations?

Although we do offer consultations we have more of a hands-on approach. We have found that
most of our clients are frustrated and stressed with their current clutter and do not know where to
start. By hiring us we can give them a fresh start and tools with which to keep their areas organized.

Do you do closets?

Yes. Once we have gone through your clothes and accessories with you we can help you design
the closet of your dreams.

Can you help me with my children’s organizational skills?

Yes, we have worked with teens and had great success in implementing systems to keep
homework done on time and rooms clean! In regards to smaller children we have solutions to toy
clutter, school paperwork and memorabilia.

Can you help me with my move?

Yes. Depending on the size of the job we can bring in additional associates to help unpack and
organize your kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. We even make beds, organize food
pantries and linen closets. We will have you up and running in the most efficient manner possible.

How can you help me with my elderly parents?

We can organize their homes and de-clutter years worth of belongings. We can setup more efficient
ways of living and make sure that all their medication, medical paperwork and bills are up to date
and manageable.

Can you help me with my remodel of my home?

Yes. We can help you de-clutter and pack before the actual remodel. We will help you asses the
best items to keep available and what to pack away. In regards to the actual planning of the
remodel, we can give you suggestions on the actual planning of your space from an organizational
perspective. We can also help with the unpack and placing of your belongings for a more efficient
start in your new area.
