It can be hard to justify spending money on organizing when it feels like something you should be able to do on your own. We've talked about how it can take some help to get started, but with a little push in the right direction, inertia will work in your favor. That got me thinking about all the ways I've seen this investment repay itself for my clients. Sure, maybe it'll help you focus on your work and lead to a raise someday, or it might get your business generating more cashflow. But those are long-term results, and hard to appreciate today. Just for fun, let's take a look at a few immediate real-life examples of how I've helped clients save money while we worked together!

"I've always been the messy one in my family. My parents hassled me about my messy room when I was a kid, and my coworkers tease me about my desk now. If I've always been disorganized, is there any hope for me?"

I often hear people talk about organizational ability as if it's something they were born with and are destined to live with, like their hair color or their height. "I'm just a messy person," or "I'm not the kind of person that [does laundry every week/keeps a calendar/etc]" or "That's just not how my brain works."
