January 28, 2022 2:00 PM | Anonymous

Professional organizers are great accountability partners when it comes to organizing and staying on top of your life.

“Hiring a professional organizer is a not so secret life hack.”

-       Carolyn Rogers, Neat Nerd Solutions

There are many different types of professional organizers out there, so it’s important to understand the differences in them. Then you will know who is best to hire for help when you are ready to get started.

It is important to know that all professional organizers are not the same. Like most industries, they specialize in the areas where they excel best. For example, you can have business organizers, home organizers, relocation professionals, and much more.

Here are some things the NAPO Georgia Professional Organizers specialize in:
