I published this post nearly two years ago. I’m still struck by the power a person can play in helping move forward by sitting in virtual silence.
One of the roles I frequently fill for my clients is what I like to call an “order catalyst.” They often find that they simply can’t do organizing tasks on their own. But when I’m there, sitting quietly, they can go about getting their organizing work accomplished, be it decluttering, sorting, or going through their task list.

Some people just can’t organize alone. For those folks, organizing and decluttering are jobs that require company. I see it all the time with my clients. No matter how motivated or well-intentioned they are, they just don’t continue the work between my visits. It’s not that they’re lazy. They just can’t bring themselves to do it. But when I’m there, they’re focused and diligent and we get a lot done.

Organizing is an activity that many people find difficult to do on their own. In the study of chronic disorganization, it is recognized that a chronically disorganized client needs to work with others. It’s called “social organizing.” Indeed, some clients simply can’t go through the process of sorting and weeding and organizing if they’re by themselves.
