What is a space organizer? Secrets of the profession. Space organizers and cleaners - how to clean properly The most famous space and order organizers

No matter how much you clean up - after a couple of days the apartment is again a mess. Familiar mood? And you understand with your mind that it is easier to organize the space correctly once than to put things in order from scratch every time, but ... the next weekend comes and you are again like a squirrel in a wheel. It's time to invite a professional space organizer!

The profession in the post-Soviet space is still rare, although in developed countries specialists in this field have been in demand since the middle of the 20th century. " I bring harmony and air into cabinets, rooms, apartments, houses”, - one of the pioneers of this service in the domestic market defined the essence of the profession so accurately and succinctly.

What is a professional space organizer?

A professional or personal space organizer is a specialist who, with advice and practice, helps other people to qualitatively change the living environment - to make it convenient, comfortable, orderly.

Related fields of activity - interior designer, office manager, time manager, personal finance consultant. It is wrong to compare this profession with a cleaner or a housekeeper. Although in the first and second cases we are talking about putting things in order, the organizer of the space still does not clean so much as creates a competent and convenient storage system, which is then supported by the owners or the same housekeeper.

What is included in the scope of activities?

A specialist of this level can organize anything - from a desktop on a computer to garden tools in the back room. The most in demand are services.

Reorganize, structure the storage of existing things.

Declutter the closet (room, apartment).

Create a storage system from scratch, for example, in a new building.

Organize travel and relocation.

Organize things and documents in the office.

This is a practical component of the profession, when the organizer goes to the place where he or together with the owners puts things in order. Departure is preceded by a serious preparatory work which includes the following activities.

Studying the object from photographs, planning changes.

A selection of ideas, photographs, examples, drawing diagrams, which are then agreed with the client.

Compilation of lists of goods for storage that need to be purchased in order for the system to work.

When the expected result is obtained, the master advises the client how to maintain order in the future, focuses on basic principles, teaches how to make the right plans for various cases and “projects”.

Not all people are ready to invite a stranger into the house. In this case, the service involves cooperation with a personal organizer at the level consultations, trainings, master classes.

For many housewives, it is enough to invite a consultant once to understand, using a specific example, how to create a system, how it works, and then organize it yourself.

Where is it taught?

In our country, there are no educational institutions that train professionals in this area. A real opportunity to get structured knowledge is training courses and trainings that are held online, in Moscow, St. Petersburg, a full-time form is possible. The organizers of the courses (those that are well known) are "Stopbardak", the Academy of Order, the School of Extreme Optimism.

How to become a space organizer: the secrets of the profession

If the goal is not just to become a cool housewife, but to grow into a real pro, we will reveal 5 secrets and subtleties of the profession.

Secret 1. Not everyone is given

Usually random people do not come into this profession. Organizational skills, of course, are developed, but initially this is an innate property of the individual. The desire for order, the desire to systematize things, to equip the space should be in the blood, and the process should be fun. Analytical abilities, the ability to see an object, a situation from the outside, a sense of harmony will help you become a master of your craft. Additional knowledge, for example, in design, time management, will be a plus.

Advice! Start with self-organization, try to change your own home, habitual way of life, test yourself for "professional suitability".

Secret 2. Try on someone else's life

The most important part of the work is to create a system that will be convenient and understandable not to the organizer, but to those who will live in it. It is psychologically difficult to entrust your home to a stranger, but it is no less difficult to delve into the habits, perceptions, and lifestyle of the client. It's like taking on someone else's life.

At the mental level, our people have a desire for hoarding, it is often difficult for them to part with things. A good organizer must be a subtle psychologist, have a sense of tact, communication skills, be able to convince a person and not put him in an awkward position.

Secret 3. Creativity + pedantry

Organized people are more or less pedantic, they are committed to the established order, neat, rational.

But!!! Despite the pedantry, the main idea of the professional organization of space is not accuracy, but the ability to have any thing where it is needed, not to constantly put things in order, but to allocate the right time for every business.

No less important is a creative streak, a creative approach to business. There are no identical closets, apartments, even desktops. They are filled with their lives, things, they serve different people. Therefore, each time you need to come up with new schemes, adapt the developed rules to the situation, pass through someone's proposed ideas and create an author's product.

Secret 4. Know a lot and keep learning

Basic professional competencies are conditionally combined into two blocks:

knowledge of technologies, storage systems;

knowledge of storage products.

First block assumes that the specialist is well versed in the basic principles of arranging living space. The “icon” of many professional organizers is a Japanese woman, who interprets putting things in order in the house as a kind of “reboot” of life. Her book on magical cleaning has become a reference book for many housewives.

A lot of useful information, ideas about streamlining life can be gleaned from European authors - M. Scilly "Flylady's School", E. Doland "Everything is on the shelves", etc.

The second direction of competence- excellent knowledge of the range and purpose of goods for storage. The task of the master is not only to put everything in its place, but to advise on how to choose the right one, choose boxes for shoes, what is best stored in, what can simply be folded on a shelf. The specialist offers for accessories, containers for things, and the client chooses based on the possibilities and taste preferences.

Secret 5. Life hack to help!

In no other area of life you will find as many useful tips and life hacks as in home economics. A good consultant constantly monitors the Internet, social networks, monitors the latest in storage accessories, home goods and includes them in his projects and recommendations.

If you are inspired by the idea of making the lives of those around you more comfortable, bringing order to their home, take a chance to try your hand at a new, fashionable profession.

In our country, such a profession as an organizer of space, we admit, is not yet in great demand. But in the West, these specialists are popular, their services are used quite often. The RMNT website will give examples of situations where the services of a space organizer will definitely not interfere with you.

The first reason is relocation.

The portal site has already given you advice on preparing for moving to a new home. It can be difficult to cope with this situation on your own, especially if there is a catastrophic lack of time. In the event of a move, a space organizer will not only help you properly and neatly pack your belongings, get rid of everything superfluous, but also beautifully, competently decompose, arrange all the items in a new apartment or house. The services of a specialist will help you make the most of storage space, settle in a new place quickly and comfortably.

Important! The main task of the personal space organizer is not just to put things in order in a single room, but to help the owners organize everything, save time and improve the quality of life.

The second reason is a mess in the pantry or dressing room

Closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. A very familiar picture, don't you agree? Yes, you can organize a dressing room on your own, but maintaining perfect order in it in the future is a more difficult task. If your pantry, wardrobe and cabinets have turned into a warehouse for some reason and it is not possible to find the right item, it's time to call the organizer of the space. After his work, even your threads and buttons will lie in order, strictly, neatly, in separate boxes.

Reason three - you need to tidy up the garage

It happens that so many things have accumulated in the garage that even the car does not fit. And the ever-working owner simply has no time to dig up these rubble and get rid of the rubbish. A professional will help organize storage systems in the garage, put everything in its place, advise what rack to buy and how to store spare wheels and tires. The organizer of the space can take care of buying shelving and shelves for the garage, if you give him this authority.

Reason Four - You're expecting another baby

A good reason to clean up at least in the nursery. The pregnant mistress of the house is not up to this, perhaps she is in the hospital at all, so the help of a professional organizer of the order will not be superfluous. He will prepare storage places for the things of the newborn, help sort and neatly arrange the toys and clothes of the older child, choose the most suitable place for the playpen and crib. As a result, after discharge from the hospital, everything will be ready to receive a new family member.

Reason five - not enough space

You have a small apartment and you just despaired of decomposing and arranging all the items so that it was convenient, beautiful, neat. The services of a space organizer will help to competently use every corner of the area. A specialist will help you choose furniture for a tiny kitchen, turn a narrow pantry into a functional room, and use all the possibilities of a small balcony.

Among the services of the organizers of the space there are such specific ones as disassembling the belongings of a loved one who has passed away, as well as preparing the house for sale. Such services do not cost much. For example, the organization of one zone of the house directly on the spot will cost an average of 800 rubles per hour of work. At the same time, of course, a specialist will not cope in an hour! Furniture planning for one zone without the departure of a professional - from 2 thousand rubles. Moving without your participation is also 2 thousand rubles per hour.

Expensive, you say, that I myself will not put things in order in the pantry or garage. We are sure that with a lot of effort and time, you will. But it is often very pleasant to shift all these chores to a space organizer, get useful tips and perfect order in the house! You will only have to support him in order not to bring the situation to a critical point again.

What is the secret to a quick cleanup?

And it is actually very simple - zones. If you know at least a little about, then you are familiar with this concept. Marla Scilly - its founder suggests dividing the entire apartment / house into several zones and devoting a week to cleaning one of them. By the way, this is a very convenient way. But still imperfect. And if you are looking for even more effective rules for organizing your home, you want to improve the space, then read on.

Organization of space in the house

I will say right away that the process that will be discussed today will not take place in one day. It is not to write zones on paper and distribute work among the week or month. Everything is much more complicated, but not more difficult. The only thing that is required of you is to understand the essence and put it into practice.

This method has been around for a very long time. Its creator is a born organizer - Julia Morgenstern. Her book "Self-Organization According to the Principle from the Inside Out" caused a sensation at the time. I don't even understand why it's not so popular these days. Perhaps, for many, this way of organizing space seemed too complicated, because it's easiest not to notice the true problems.

analysis
planning
action

And now we will talk about everything in order.

I don't think anyone would want to swap steps. It is logical to take any action with a plan in hand, which was drawn up as a result of an analysis of the problem and situation.

To make everything clear to you, I will try to tell you Julia's strategy using my example, in my apartment. And in addition I will attach tables that are taken from the book.

Step 1. Analysis

Analysis involves identifying problems and weaknesses in your housekeeping strategy. Let's say I divided my apartment into several zones:

hallway
baths
toilet
living room

As you can see, zoning corresponds to the number of rooms. This is not at all what Marla Seeley tells. Here is a slightly different principle and we will not draw up a cleaning schedule for this strategy.

Step 2. Planning

This step will already help you create a picture of a future organized home. And understand the very principle of self-organization from the inside out. To begin with, we need to create a kind of map of our future actions. To do this, there is a very cool principle of dividing the zone into subzones, which correspond to a certain type of activity.

This division is used in kindergartens. For example, a large room where children spend most of their time is conventionally divided into several zones according to the type of activity. Music corner - there are instruments, notes, a music center. Play area - toys, storage boxes. Reading corner - shelves, books, tables.

In the same way, we will share each of the rooms. Again, I take my example.

Hallway

What kind of activities do we do there? What is needed for this? Where and how to store?

We put on shoes - shoes, a shoehorn, cream - a locker with doors.
Dressed - outerwear, hats, scarves, gloves and mittens - hooks and a shelf on top.
We look in the mirror - a mirror, a comb, a sticky roller for clothes - an organizer with pockets on the wall.
I place the launch pad - items that need to be remembered, given away, carried - a basket on the shelf.

It is very important to do planning on paper. Consider all the nuances and behavior of family members, for example, someone looks in the mirror before going out not in the hallway, but in the bedroom. Then it is necessary to organize the storage of the same items not only in the corridor.

Bathroom

We wash - soap, shampoo, shower gels, washcloths - a corner shelf above the bath.
We take care of ourselves - skin care cosmetics - a shelf above the sink.
Washing - washing machine, powder, air conditioner, laundry basket - a place in the corner
Cleaning - detergents and cleaning products, cleaning accessories - cabinet under the sink

Bedroom

Sleep - a blanket, pillows, sheets - I tuck into bed.
Personal care - creams and other cosmetics - shelf in the closet
Dressing - clothes - closet, hooks for home clothes
TV - remote control, TV - bracket, pocket for remote control.

Children's

Dressing - clothes - closet
Games - toys, books - basket, rack
Developing activities - accessories for drawing, modeling - a box in the desk.
Sleep - blankets, pillows, sheets - a box under the bed.

Kitchen

Cooking - dishes and kitchen utensils - lower cabinet, pull-out shelves.
Food storage - cereals, spices, canned food - shelves.
Cleaning - sponges, rags, household chemicals - a place under the sink, on the sink.
Pouring drinks - tea, what, coffee, kettle - a place on the table.

Step 3 Actions

This is how you should plan and zone your rooms and the whole house. Then you can take action. Start with one activity and organize items for it. The step by step plan is:

sorting - collect all the things and objects that are used in each of the zones, divide them into subzones (by type of activity)
throw out what is broken, unnecessary, that is, all the rubbish
find your place for everything (this can be seen from the previous task)
put in place
keep order

Actions to organize the space in the house may involve not only the placement of small items of use, but also in some cases the rearrangement of furniture.

By doing everything as Julia recommends, you can identify previously invisible problems, such as lack of space. In this case, you need to think about additional storage systems or freeing up space that is occupied by unnecessary items.

This whole system must be supplemented with a number of very important principles for storing things.

Store things where you use them - it was not for nothing that we left a table by types of occupations and objects of use.
Each item must have its place.
The inadmissibility of storing trash and unnecessary things, that is, constant littering.

This process can take a long time. The best option is to dedicate one day to one zone. If you do everything right, you will not only get rid of unnecessary cleaning work, but also make your home more convenient, and this is our ultimate goal. And the cleaning schedule and daily routines will be your best helpers.

For as long as I can remember myself as a child, I always helped to put things in order and clean up my mother and grandmother. She didn’t even help, but did it on her own. I didn’t have to be asked, forced or motivated. When I saw the mess, my hands itched. I was about 9 years old.

Nobody taught me how to clean, because my mother worked in a bank, and my grandmother “kept the household”. I did it intuitively and could make a marathon in the kitchen from morning to evening, arrange things in the closet and even arrange tools in the country. For all this, I received admiring eyes, loud splashes in my grandmother's hands and mother's hugs.

At school, I was an excellent student and an activist, and of course, on the advice of my mother, I entered the law academy. By the way, she herself, without agreements and bribes, having passed only the first exam.I can’t say that my parents forced me. At that time, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life and did not know that work can bring not only money, but also pleasure.

Judging by my parents, there was no easy and beloved job, there was only one where they paid more. And after the weekend, every Monday morning, I heard a displeased phrase: “Oh my God, go to work today! How do you not want to!

In the 4th year, after practice, it dawned on me that working in the civil service is not sweet, even in the legal department. They pay pennies, no one observes the labor code, they “fry” for every little thing, they force them to stay at work overtime.

By a happy coincidence, I didn’t have to work for 3 years after my studies, since I got married and gave birth to a daughter. And by the way, I graduated from the Academy of Law with honors ...

I got the best mother-in-law, and since our relationship was warm and friendly, every season I helped her “sort through the cupboards”, despite the fact that she has a daughter. By the way, she also helped her daughter, that is, my husband's sister.I took out all the clothes, sorted them by season, category and color. Then followed a long fitting of things that caused doubts, and I intuitively asked my mother-in-law many questions (as it turned out, some of them coincided with those that I was taught at the foreign courses of the organizers). Then she made a decision: to give, leave or repair / alter.After trying on, I put things in drawers and shelves and gave a tour of my beloved mother-in-law's updated ideal closet. The next day, we took huge bags of unwanted clothes to her place of work, where employees sorted them with arms and legs.

I got great pleasure from this process, I really enjoyed it. I saw how grateful and pleased my mother-in-law was, who, unlike me, was very tired and did not understand how this could be done with such enthusiasm and burning eyes.

Each time it took us 1-2 days for this event, since she had a lot of clothes and without me she never did it. Each time she was surprised how much I like it and how great I can do it.

After I once again put things in order in the kitchen, she said: “Everything has become much more convenient, prettier and better, I would never have guessed to shift things myself! You have a talent, you need to somehow realize it!”I laughed and answered: “Yeah, maybe I can go to work as a cleaner with a red diploma from the Jura Academy?”

... The decree gradually grew from one to another, and after 5 years our son was born. During all this time, I was finally convinced that I was not ready to work for my uncle from morning to night as my classmates, that laws were changing at the speed of sound, and I would not return to jurisprudence. I tried photography, sculpting candy bouquets, and even wanted to open a children's clothing store. DID NOT GO. NOT MINE.

I was worried that I was sitting on my husband's neck and suffered from unfulfillment. But in spite of everything, I believed and knew that I would do something special, not like everyone else, and I would go down in history.

All this time, I periodically helped my mothers and girlfriends to “sort out closets” (that’s what I called this action at that time), but one incident changed everything.

Walking with the children on the playground, my friend and I met her good friend Katya (name changed). The girl recently celebrated a year old second baby, but completely fell into despair.An endless mess, huge piles of clothes after washing, toys lying around everywhere and a husband on regular business trips - it all drove her crazy.

She told how she turned things on the floor to find what she needed, although on the weekends she tidied up the closet; how long her eldest daughter took to dress and how her things ended up on the wrong shelf; how for half an hour she was looking for a “striped bodysuit” for her youngest daughter; how, having gone beyond the threshold of the apartment, I realized that the keys were not in the bag and ran for another 15 minutes in search of them; how tired she was of the mess, the endless cleaning and endless laundry.

After a walk, my friend and I went to her for tea. Katya opened the closet to show her new clothes and a bunch of things fell on her head from the top shelf. She sat on the floor and burst into tears ... In general, I said that I would come to her tomorrow and help, simply, humanly (all the more so, parents who could stay with my children came to visit us).

We rowed all day long, drank coffee, played Kyiv Evening and listened to Dima Bilan. On that day, we overcame two cabinets and completely changed the storage system. Katya was shocked. She squealed with pleasure, closed and opened drawers and doors a hundred times. When I put on the shoes, she started to give me money, to which I rolled my eyes and said that she was crazy. After arguing for about 10 minutes, she shoved the bills into my purse and said that such an amazing job should be paid.

I walked along the dimly lit streets and thought a lot. I was embarrassed, I just wanted to help, why did she give me money .. But I understood the most important thing - people are willing to pay for such services ...

I didn't know what to call the services I wanted to provide, but after that incident, the idea of starting a closet tidying business stuck in my head.Cleaning the closet .. order in the closet .. order in things .. order in the house .. nothing sensible came to mind ... All understanding came down to an ordinary cleaning lady or housekeeper ...And in our family, almost all lawyers are men in suits and ties, women in blouses and high heels ...I'm the only one... unlucky...

In general, I didn’t even tell anyone about my first “salary” from cleaning the closet (maybe in vain?). Yes, and I did not consider it a salary, so, an absurd coincidence.

Six months have passed since that incident, maybe a little more. I spent the money that was given to me for my birthday on my first training in my life and on March 8, 2015 I started a blog on insta about mom success. I wrote mainly about the order in the house and the optimization of space in the closets, occasionally touching on the topic of time management.

I was scared to tell people what I really want to do, because I couldn’t even formulate the name of my services properly. At that time, there was not a single organizer of the space in the Russian-speaking space.

A couple of months later, in one of the foreign blogs, I accidentally stumbled upon information about professional organization r.

OH GODS! THEY EXIST! Something in my heart skipped a beat, everything turned upside down in my stomach. THIS IS IT! THIS is what I want to do and what I have been doing since childhood! The space organizer is my life's work, my calling! It turns out that this profession has existed in the USA for about 30 years (30 years, Carl!). Specialists are in great demand, improve people's lives, do what they love and receive decent pay from $100 per hour!

But where are we, and where is the USA ..

Everything would be easy if it weren't so difficult...

I couldn’t find a place for myself and continued to lead Insta more and more focusing on the organization of space, but I was again overcome by doubts several months long ...Fear of being ridiculed, fear that nothing will work out and a million thoughts in my head every night.

In autumn, I accidentally entered a hashtag#organizerspace and found HER. A curly-haired redhead who recently started organizing space in Russia. We quickly became friends and decided that we would give a great start to this profession in the post-Soviet territory. We can do it, we can! There are two of us!

As you can see, 3 years later, this is exactly what happened. All current organizers are our graduates and I am really proud of it!I told about my new activity to everyone who needed and didn’t need: relatives, friends, acquaintances and even strangers. My eyes were burning, my hands were shaking and my heart was beating fast!

My relatives were the first to support me - they said that this was a necessary service and that I could train on their cabinets right now.

The second did not support me. These were some "friends" (as it seemed to me at that time). They fucked up my idea and twirled a finger at my temple.

The third is subscribers. They split into two camps. Some shouted that this was a brilliant idea, others that it was a bottom and a shame to rummage through other people's underpants!It was painful, annoying... well, okay... I banned spammers, my friends turned out not to be friends at all.

I didn't even think of quitting. I knew it would be difficult. I remembered the same saying from childhood: “And if Olya jumps from the 7th floor, will you jump after her too?” Of course not! Therefore, if someone was satisfied with whining, lying on the couch and sticking into the TV, I was not going to do the same.

In December 2015, I bought the first foreign course for training professional organizers and after passing the exams, I became the first certified space organizer in the post-Soviet territory.Clients were found almost immediately, word of mouth and blogging gave stunning results, but with a 1.5-year-old child in my arms, I could not cope ...

At my own peril and risk, I hired a nanny and for the first month of work I was able to independently pay for her services. I studied and worked more than I slept, wrote posts, held the first marathons to organize space in Runet, and on weekends I ran on trips.

At the moment, I have taken more than 17 online courses not only on the organization of space, but also on business, costing more than 370 thousand rubles, studied a bunch of foreign literature, costing more than 250 USD, and I am 100% confident in my course “Space Organizer” .If you actively apply all the knowledge in practice, you can fully recoup its cost even before the completion of the course, and if you act slowly, within 2-3 months.My students keep TOP blogs and literally in a year they turn from timid girls into confident business women with blogs with 100K subscribers.

Now I am writing my first book, I live for 3 months at sea, I devote weekends only to my family and I still worry about meeting a new client.

Everyone who discussed me behind my back is now becoming friends, who said that no one needs it - they are calling to the organization. But I have a record. Registration before November.

I did it, you can too! I will reveal to you all the pitfalls and tell you the most secret secrets.
