How Virtual Organizing Can Help You Declutter Your Home
Benefits of Virtual Organizing
Virtual organizing offers a range of benefits for homeowners who are looking to declutter their homes. One of the primary advantages of virtual organizing is convenience. With virtual organizing, you can work with a professional organizer from the comfort of your own home, without having to schedule an in-person visit. This is especially helpful for people who have busy schedules or live in remote areas. Additionally, virtual organizing is often more cost-effective than traditional organizing, as there are no travel expenses or additional fees for in-person visits.
Another benefit of virtual organizing is that it allows for a more personalized approach to decluttering. With virtual organizing, you can work with an organizer who specializes in your specific needs and preferences. For example, if you’re looking to declutter your kitchen, you can work with an organizer who has experience in organizing kitchens. This personalized approach can help ensure that you get the most out of your virtual organizing experience, and that you achieve your decluttering goals.
Finally, virtual organizing can be a great option for people who are uncomfortable with in-person visits. Some people may feel embarrassed or ashamed of their clutter, or may not want to invite a stranger into their home. With virtual organizing, you can work with a professional organizer without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. This can help you feel more comfortable and in control of the process.
How Virtual Organizing Works
Virtual organizing works by connecting you with a professional organizer remotely, using video conferencing and other digital tools. The process typically begins with an initial consultation, during which you’ll discuss your decluttering goals and preferences with your organizer. From there, your organizer will work with you to create a customized plan for decluttering your home.
Once your plan is in place, your organizer will provide you with step-by-step instructions and guidance on how to tackle your clutter. This may include assigning tasks, providing resources and tools, and answering any questions you may have. You’ll typically check in with your organizer on a regular basis, either through video conferencing or email, to provide updates on your progress and receive additional guidance.
Throughout the process, your organizer will provide you with support and encouragement, helping you stay motivated and on track. By the end of your virtual organizing experience, you’ll have a clutter-free home that’s organized and functional.

Virtual Organizing vs. Traditional Organizing
Virtual organizing differs from traditional organizing in a few key ways. The primary difference is that virtual organizing is done remotely, using video conferencing and other digital tools. This can be a more convenient and cost-effective option for many people, especially those who have busy schedules or live in remote areas.
Another difference between virtual organizing and traditional organizing is the level of customization. With virtual organizing, you can work with an organizer who specializes in your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that you get the most out of your decluttering experience. Traditional organizing, on the other hand, may be more generalized, with organizers who work with a wide range of clients.
Finally, virtual organizing can be a great option for people who are uncomfortable with in-person visits. Virtual organizing allows you to work with a professional organizer from the comfort of your own home, without having to worry about inviting a stranger into your space.

By utilizing these tools and resources, you can get the most out of your virtual organizing experience and achieve your decluttering goals.
Creating a Virtual Organizing Plan
Creating a virtual organizing plan is an important first step in the decluttering process. Your virtual organizing plan should be customized to your specific needs and preferences, and should include clear goals and objectives. Some tips for creating a successful virtual organizing plan include:
- Identify your decluttering goals: What do you want to achieve through virtual organizing? Do you want to declutter your entire home, or just one specific room or area?
- Set a timeline: How long do you want to spend on the decluttering process? Setting a timeline can help you stay on track and motivated throughout the process.
- Break it down: Breaking down your decluttering goals into smaller, manageable tasks can make the process feel less overwhelming.
- Get organized: Before you begin decluttering, it’s important to get organized. This may include setting up a digital organizer or creating a physical planner.
- Stay accountable: Checking in with your organizer on a regular basis can help you stay accountable and motivated throughout the process.

Before I worked with Glenda, I was really struggling to put outfits together each morning. My closet had become a discombobulated mess of clothes that fit and some that didn’t fit, and clothes I loved but didn’t go with anything else, and clothes that were boring but I couldn’t give them up because they had become my go-to items. I was trying on an average of 5 outfits a day which was irritating and time consuming. Glenda motivated me to tackle the closet one section at a time until I had an entire closet of clothes that fit and clothes that I love. She also helped me organize them in a way where pairing outfits was easier. In addition, Glenda gave me some great ideas for new combinations of clothes that are spectacular!! She definitely has an eye for color combinations and really helped me get unstuck. Thank you, Glenda, you gave me back the joy of fashion and feeling good when I leave my house!!!
