President Amy Trager
There is more than one way to harness that feeling of community and esteem. As organizers, we can easily create that feeling for our clients in a couple ways.
1) It's the time of year that many people pull out their checkbooks to donate to charity. The charity receives some greatly needed help and the recipients get the assistance they need. But there's a more immediate benefit, too. The person that wrote that check or dropped the money in the bucket feels better. He/she is helping in some small (or large) way.
2) Professional organizers can help get unwanted or unneeded goods out of our clients space - fast! Some even haul away their donations at the end of your appointment. It creates immediate space and assures the goods are going someplace worthy. Others accommodate their clients by taking the items to a specific charity or even get a tax receipt on their behalf. At the very least, organizers can arrange for a charity to come get the items. We even have a corporate associate member that can help: Friends of Epilepsy Foundation Greater Chicago!
3) We often help our clients sort through all the charitable solicitations that arrive in the mailbox this time of year. It is best to recycle duplicate requests and prioritize based on your values, not what trinket or goodie arrives in the mail with the envelope. Donate online to save paper and postage!
4) Our clients trust us and often ask our advice on all kinds of topics. When discussing holiday gift purchases, we encourage gifts that provide experiences, not more "stuff!" And, if someone really wants something to unwrap, encourage local businesses, in lieu of big box companies; it helps keep money in the community and the neighborhood. An added bonus? Organizing services are both an experience and a local business!

The Gift of Giving
By: Lindsey Kunz
It's not the size or cost that counts, it's the meaning behind the gift that matters. Times are tough for many across our nation. Put some extra thought into gift giving this holiday season. You may want to include additional names to gift or card lists or avoid commercial products and make your own gifts! If you don't make your own gifts, search for something unique or meaningful. Give to sweeten the lives of loved ones or anyone that crosses your mind!

It's the season of cheer and we are in the mood! All of our clients are getting things in order for the holidays. No one wants to have their family over if things are in disarray. We know exactly how they feel, however this year we will be celebrating at the homes of our friends and family. Can you imagine how it feels to have a professional organizer come to your home for dinner? Does the thought cause you to sweat? If so, it may be time to have us over. Not for dinner, but for a good old fashioned session of organizing. Or maybe you know and love someone who could really use our services. Don't be afraid to give them Mission 2 Organize gift certificates for the holidays. They can use it on any of our many services so they can decide how to use it. You won't add to their clutter and, in fact, you'll actually be helping them de-clutter. It could be the best gift you have ever given!
If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email us or contact us through our website. We always welcome your suggestions and comments. Happy holidays to you and your family and thank you for your referrals!
