Service Choices and Pricing

Service Choices

Starting to Mind Your Matters
This option is for people who would like on-site help to address their organizing challenges. The first step is a free phone consultation. During this conversation a Minding Your Matters® Professional Organizing Consultant gets an overview of the situation and the client receives answers regarding our firm.

The second step is a one to two hour on-site visit to survey the space to be organized, assess organizing difficulties, and determine potential solutions. Minding Your Matters® will generate a written work proposal which includes an estimate of the number of hours required to complete the organizing job. The client will have the choice whether to sign the proposal while we are on-site, sign the proposal after additional consideration, or choose not to retain the services of Minding Your Matters®. At the conclusion of this appointment, the client will receive a personalized top five organizing tip list they can use to immediately address some of their organizing challenges, regardless of whether or not they retain the services of Minding Your Matters®. When a client decides to sign a proposal, a time convenient to the client is established to begin organizing.

Hands-On Minding Your Matters® Help
A Minding Your Matters® Professional Organizing Consultant will work side-by-side with people to help them achieve their organizing goals. Appointments last a minimum of two hours and are scheduled at the convenience of the client.

Guiding You to Mind Your Matters
This option is for people who want a specific plan to guide them while they do the organizing work themselves. A Minding Your Matters® Professional Organizing Consultant will conduct an assessment which includes a thorough site-survey of the areas that need organizing and an in-depth investigation of the preferences and requirements of the person or people who plan to use the space.

The end product of a Minding Your Matters® guidance plan is an action list which will help the person declutter and reorganize the identified problem areas. This written plan includes tasks to be done, items to buy, items to move to another location, and decisions to be made. The individual can choose to tackle the project themselves or to enlist the services of Minding Your Matters® for additional assistance.

As part of the assessment, the client will receive a packet of information to assist them in getting their space organized. This packet includes:

• ways to prevent paper from being sent to them,
• questions they can use to help them declutter their space,
• tips on how to create effective to-do lists, and
• many other valuable hints which will make the organizing process easier.

Pricing

We believe that helping people reduce the stress associated with clutter and disorganization is of great value. We charge reasonable professional rates based on training, experience, and education. Our rates are comparable to those of interior designers. We have hourly rates and bulk-rate packages available for residential and business clients. Seminars and workshops are priced according to location, number of attendees, and length of presentation. Travel charges apply to those 25 miles or more from our offices. We accept credit cards as payment for bulk-rate packages.

Each client’s organizing challenges and goals are unique, therefore it is virtually impossible to estimate total time or cost from a phone conversation. During an on-site estimate or initial organizing session we provide a written proposal, including an estimate of organizing hours, to all potential clients so they are able to make an informed decision about whether our services meet their organizing goals.
