The KonMari Method™ is a popular approach to organizing that was developed by Marie Kondo, author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Her method is unique in that it processes belongings by category, e.g. clothes, books, papers, etc., rather than room-by-room. This makes for a straightforward, efficient experience. By the end you will feel like you have organizing superpowers as you process mementos and family photos with ease! The method is most well known for its famous question, “Does it Spark Joy?” — the criterion used to decide whether or not to keep something. While Sparking Joy may seem like a vague concept, it is the key to unlocking your organizing potential. Sorting your belongings in this way will result in a highly personalized and well-organized space that you will enjoy maintaining. I implement the KonMari Method™ whenever possible, as it’s suitable for most individuals. It’s ultrafast, easy to learn, and very, very effective! It’s time to reclaim power over your possessions!

In the grand scheme of things, not long at all! I’ll provide an estimate at the end of our first session, but based on the average client it’ll take 5-10 five-hour sessions (25-50h) to organize all of your things. The time it will take for us to calm the storm and bring order into your life depends on five key factors:

  1. How many items you have.

  2. How long it takes for you to decide whether or not to keep something.

  3. How your things are organized before we begin.

  4. Whether or not you can be free from distractions during sessions.

  5. Whether or not you choose to do tasks in between sessions.

Whatever your situation, don’t despair! I’ll make it far easier than if you were to tackle it on your own. You’ll have a clutter-free home in no time.

I implement a five-hour project minimum to ensure productivity. Five hours is a sweet spot where we can make some serious progress without excessive physical and emotional demand. Whatever we decide, I can be flexible with regard to your changing needs. You want your space organized? We’ll make it happen.

First and foremost, take some time to consider why you want to be organized. How would you like to feel in your newly organized space? What would you like to do now that the clutter is gone and you’re not burdened by the stress of a never-ending tidying routine? Speaking of your tidying routine, no need to pick up before I arrive! Every pile tells a story, and that story well help to inform me about your habits. That way I can give you the most relevant suggestions. If we are using the KonMari Method™, it’s in your best interest to do laundry since we will be working on clothing.

Buying storage in hopes to overcome the disorganization is a common pitfall that rarely leads to success. Before I suggest anything, we’ll make use of the items that you already have in your home. In most cases this is sufficient. If at the final stage we find that your space can be enhanced with the help of a few tools, or you’re looking for a visual make-over, I will be thrilled to make recommendations.

Then I say keep it with confidence! There is absolutely no pressure to discard something that you want to keep. All of the decisions are yours to make, and I’m confident you’re going to make great ones! If at any point you’re feeling lost, I’ll show you the way!

Hiring an organizer can be an intimate affair, therefore I take privacy very seriously. I will never share any information, whether photos or otherwise, without first seeking your consent. Do you have something you don’t want me to see? No problem! Feel free to remove it from the area before we begin. That being said, I will never open drawers, or even handle your belongings, without your permission. Your comfort is my number one priority.

I work throughout the Zurich Area at no extra cost. If you are outside of the Zurich Area and would like to work together, please get in touch! I will provide you with an estimate which will include any associated travel expenses.

Not a problem! However, sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice will be billed at the agreed rate or time scheduled.

I accept cash, Twint, PayPal and bank transfer. Please note that payment is due at the end of each session. Tyding Packages are due before start of the first session.
