Can a professional organizer help me maintain my organizational systems?

Mary Astadourian (Professional Organizer) gives expert video advice on: When do I need to call in a professional organizer?; What does a professional organizer do?; How do I find a good professional organizer? and more...

I have a number of clients that I do maintenance for. I go in every six months or so and do a little "touch up," as I like to call it, on certain things, and I can see what's working, what's not working. Most of the time or if they have staff, I'm making sure that their staff understands where everything goes and how all of that works. For the most part though, I think that I like to touch base with my clients every few months just to see how it's working for them, because if it's not, I feel like I want to do something about it. I want to make sure that the system is working for them. I have one particular client that is a graphic designer, and I organized his office and he likes to work in "functional chaos," as I like to call it. And so, we designed a system that really was functional chaos with a lot of file folders and... He just likes to be surrounded by all his work. So we designed a system, and frankly I wasn't completely sure that it was all going to work, but it's been a year and a half now and it's been functioning great and he loves it. But I check in with him every few months to make sure that it's all still moving along.
