Becoming a Professional Organizer - Professional Organizers Blog Carnival

Welcome to the latest edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival! If you’re wondering what it’s like to be a professional organizer, how to start an organizing business, or how others got into this exciting industry, you’re in the right place. And if you’re thinking about hiring an organizer, the posts submitted by our readers will likely answer many of the questions you may have.

I’d like to thank Sarah Buckwalter of Organizing U for sponsoring, and to welcome her as she participates in her very first Professional Organizers Blog Carnival. Also joining us for the first time is Carolyn Caldwell. Please stop by and say hello to Sarah, Carolyn, and all of the other contributors when you visit their blogs!

Our topic for August will be Students and Time Management, sponsored by Order Out of Chaos’ Academic Planner. With back to school approaching, readers will be searching for this type of information, so don’t miss out on this opportunity for free exposure. You may make your submission any time from now until Tuesday, August 11 at midnight ET.

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

      So glad to hear you’ve been inspired to push forward! My goal was to educate people who were curious about the profession; I’m thrilled to discover this is of value to practicing organizers as well.
