FAQ’s
General
Q. Whats the difference between an Organising Strategist and a Professional Organiser? A. As an organising strategist, I focus on the bigger picture—developing customised systems and long-term strategies to improve efficiency, productivity, and overall workflow. My approach is more analytical, addressing not just physical spaces but also habits, decision-making processes, and time management to create sustainable solutions tailored to each client’s lifestyle.
Q. Whats the difference between an Organising Strategy Session and an Organising Session? A. An Organising Strategy Session is a planning-focused meeting where I assess a client’s challenges, goals, and habits to develop a customised organisation plan. This session is more about strategy, problem-solving, and creating a sustainable system rather than hands-on organising. I provide guidance, suggest tools, and outline actionable steps that the client can implement on their own or with further assistance. An Organising Session, on the other hand, is hands-on and action-driven. This is where I physically work with the client (or for them) to declutter, categorise, and implement organising systems. It’s about putting the plan into action—sorting items, optimising space, labelling, and ensuring everything has a functional home. While strategy plays a role, the main focus here is execution.
Q. Do you offer virtual organising services? A. Yes! If you prefer, I can guide you through the organising process virtually, providing a step-by-step plan and ongoing support.
Q. Is my mess too overwhelming for you? A. Not at all! No space is too messy or too small to organise. My job is to help, not judge, and I work at your pace to create a space that works for you.

Q. Do I have to be present at an organising strategy session? A. Yes, you do have to be physically present for an Organising Strategy Session as your input is essential. Since this session is focused on assessing your needs, goals, and challenges, we can conduct it virtually or over the phone if that’s more convenient for you. However, your participation is important because I tailor the strategy to your lifestyle, habits, and preferences. The more involved you are in the discussion, the more effective the plan will be.
Q. What happens in an Organising Strategy Session? A. During this session, I assess your current challenges, goals, and habits to develop a personalised organisation plan. This can include space planning, time management strategies, and recommendations for maintaining order. The focus is on creating a system that works specifically for you. An Organising Strategy Session takes 4.5 hours over 4 different sessions, both virtually and in home.
Q. Do I have to be present for an Organising Strategy Session? A. Yes, since this session is about understanding your habits and goals, your input is essential. However, we can conduct it virtually or in home, depending on your preference.
Q. Will your strategies work for my lifestyle? A. Yes! My approach is fully customised to your habits, preferences, and daily routines. The goal is to create an intuitive system that fits naturally into your life, making it easy to maintain.
Q. How long does it take to see results? A. That depends on your goals and how quickly you implement the strategies. Some changes bring immediate relief, while others—like habit-building and workflow improvements—may take a few weeks to fully integrate.
Home Organising
Q. Do I have to be present at a home organising session? A. It depends on your preference. You can be actively involved in the home organising session, making decisions and learning systems firsthand, or you can give me guidelines and let me handle the process for you. If decluttering is involved, I recommend being present to decide what stays and what goes. However, if the focus is on optimising and organising existing items, I can work independently and update you afterward.
Q. What does a professional organiser do? A. I help clients declutter, organise, and create functional systems that make their spaces more efficient and easier to maintain. My goal is to reduce stress, improve productivity, and tailor solutions to fit your lifestyle.
Q. Do I have to throw everything away? A. No, organising isn’t about forcing you to get rid of things—it’s about making sure everything you keep has a purpose and a place. I’ll guide you in making decisions, but you always have the final say.
Q. How long does an organising session take? A. It depends on the size of the space, the amount of organisation needed, and how quickly decisions are made. Sessions typically range from a few hours to multiple sessions for larger projects.
Q. Do I need to buy storage solutions before the session? A. Not necessarily. I recommend starting with what you already have. Once we assess your needs, I can suggest storage solutions that fit your space and style.
Q. Will I be able to maintain the organisation after the session? A. Yes! I design systems that fit your lifestyle and are easy to maintain. I also provide tips and strategies to help you keep things organised long-term.
Q. Do you offer virtual organising services? A. Yes! If you prefer, I can guide you through the organising process virtually, providing a step-by-step plan and ongoing support.
Q. Is my mess too overwhelming for you? A. Not at all! No space is too messy or too small to organise. My job is to help, not judge, and I work at your pace to create a space that works for you.
Life Scheduling
Q.What does a life scheduler do? A. I help clients structure their time effectively by creating personalised schedules that balance work, personal life, and well-being. My goal is to streamline routines, improve productivity, and reduce stress by designing a schedule that aligns with your priorities and lifestyle.
Q. How is life scheduling different from regular time management? A. Life scheduling goes beyond basic time management by taking a holistic approach. I don’t just help you fit tasks into a calendar—I create a sustainable structure that optimises your energy levels, productivity, and personal goals while ensuring a healthy work-life balance.
Q. Do I have to follow a rigid schedule? A. Not at all! The schedule I create is flexible and designed to fit your natural rhythms. It’s meant to provide structure and efficiency while allowing room for adjustments as needed.
Q. What if my schedule keeps changing? A. I design your schedule with flexibility in mind, incorporating buffer times and adaptable structures so you can adjust it as needed. I also provide strategies to help you manage unexpected changes without feeling overwhelmed.
Q. Will this help me be more productive? A. Absolutely. A well-structured schedule eliminates wasted time, improves focus, and ensures that your most important tasks get done efficiently—without burnout.
Q. Can you help with scheduling for my whole family? A. Yes! I can create family-friendly schedules that coordinate responsibilities, activities, and routines to keep everything running smoothly.
Q. How long does a Life Scheduling Session take? A. A Life Scheduling Session can take up to 12 hours, though most of the work happens behind the scenes. Our consultation time will be focused on understanding your needs, priorities, and daily routines, while I handle the heavy lifting—structuring your schedule, optimising workflows, and refining the plan to fit seamlessly into your life.
Q. Can you help with digital organisation and time management?A. Absolutely! I help clients streamline their digital files, emails, calendars, and task management systems. I also assist with time-blocking, prioritisation, and productivity strategies to improve efficiency.
