My family thinks this is something I should be able to do myself — isn’t hiring help lazy or indulgent?

Not at all. In fact, it’s incredibly proactive and resourceful. You’re hiring a professionally trained and insured organizer with expertise to help you set up long-term storage solutions and systems that work for your unique lifestyle. We aren’t meant to do it all, and should consider outsourcing tasks if/when time and resources allow it. Decluttering and organizing (i.e. how to make decisions and properly store our items) is a learned skill that most of us were never taught — especially in the middle of raising kids, managing careers, and running a home. This isn’t about indulgence — it’s about freeing up the space, time, and energy for what and who you truly love.
