CLEANING UP: Sometimes drastic messes call for drastic measures.

Sometimes, some physical changes can help clear clutter out of your life.

New babies bring lots of new items into a home. Hanging some things on doors or stashing things in under-bed boxes can create a needed “sanity zone,” Kirk says.

A member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, Kirk notes that some members specialize in certain things. Some specialize in closets, some in corporations. Some organize meetings, keeping people on track. Some are into downsizing, moving people from larger homes to smaller ones and helping sort out the necessary from the superfluous.

Kirk ranges over a wide variety of clients and problems. She has taught nutrition to Food Stamp recipients and organized receipts for small businesses so that a certified public accountant could do their taxes. But arranging space, in a home or a business, is what she prefers.

“I don’t do any of the computer stuff. I like the big, physical stuff.”

The goal of getting organized should be having more time to do the things you want to do.

For those who can’t do it themselves, Kirk can be reached at (540) 554-2363.
