A day in the life of a professional organizer

Famundo is all about personal and family organization, so it goes without saying that I have been following the work of Valentina Sgro for some time now.

Valentina is a member of the Golden Circle of the National Association of Professional Organizers and a Certified Chronic Disorganization Specialist. She is the owner of SGRO Consulting, Solutions for Getting Really Organized.

Her first book, Organize Your Family’s Schedule…In No Time, was an iParenting Media Award winner.

Her latest book, Patience and the Porsche, is a novel about the life of a professional organizer.

Patience “Pat” Oaktree is the self-proclaimed most successful professional organizer in the State. Never mind that she’s borderline chronically disorganized herself and can’t seem to start, much less complete, some of her own projects. She uses her silent mantra of “Patience, Patience” to remind herself not to get frustrated.

Now I know what you must be thinking. A professional organizer? What could possibly be interesting about a professional organizer? But think about it. When someone hires an organizer, they are basically opening their life to a complete stranger.

Hmmm…this could be interesting.

Check it out.
