[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Part of the issue is I need a lot of time, uninterrupted, to go through stuff. But if don't feel comfortable having a cleaner out babysitter on the house unless it's pretty clean and uncluttered, and I need their help too make me time to do those things! Catch 22, haha.[/quote]

I understand this cycle and I empathize. I really do. But the honest truth is that if you feel you need a lot of interrupted time to go through stuff, it means you don’t have a healthy relationship to the stuff or a realistic understanding of how much of it you can/should have. You assess each item in terms of its condition, usefulness, etc. You’re not seeing the big picture. The big picture is if you have the right amount of stuff for your space, and if that space is organized, tidying it is really fast and easy and not draining even if there is a huge mess and everything is “out.”

I don’t have a recommendation for an organizer but I’ve been through this with a parent. Whoever you hire, you need to be realistic setting out that you have way too much stuff and you need to purge a lot of stuff that is useful, in good condition and that you like. If you don’t think you can let go of a lot of stuff that is useful, in good condition and that you like, it’s not going to work. [/quote]
