Professional Organizers come in all varieties & focus on all areas: home, office, paper, space, time, etc. Despite differences, all organizers apply 3 common principles to work:

1) The reduction of all forms of clutter
(getting rid of anything that wastes time, space, energy, or money)

2) The creation of systems that make everyday jobs easie
(developing effective routines and standardized procedures)

3) The simplification of daily responsibilities
(reducing the amount of time and energy spent on routine activities)
