I'm an okay organizer. I've got systems that work for me from trial and error in my years.
Day is so not an organizer. He's the guy that takes everything on the kitchen table, swipes it into a box that he shoves under the extra bed, when I ask him to help pick up.
I've cleaned and organized the garage 3 times in the 6 years we've been together. The first time I did it according to what made sense for me. It didn't stick, both of us got frustrated and I did it again. The last time I did it, 2 years ago, I asked DH questions about what he uses, when he uses it and how. It gave me a better idea how to organize. But it was again a mess within a few months.
I've come to realize that me organizing it isn't going to work. But his organization, again, consists of random crap in the same tote and not being able to find anything without some hunting and pulling a lot out.
Do professional organizers help you develop a system that works for you, with your limitations? Or do they tell you how it should be done and try to make you see why it works best?
