course outline

Introduction – Explore the world of Professional Organizing, delving into its myriad advantages, the basic principles and historical background of the field, the factors contributing to its rapid expansion and widespread appeal, and why embarking on a career as a Professional Organizer is particularly opportune in the present moment.

Psychology of Clutter – Traditionally, our perception of organization tends to revolve around physical spaces like kitchens and closets. However, we often overlook the importance of organizing the mind itself. In reality, the human brain is responsible for organizing our thoughts, actions, and emotions—a field known as Brain Science.

The process of organization begins within the brain, making it crucial to grasp fundamental concepts related to how our brains function. In this course, you will explore these concepts. By doing so, you will gain a deeper comprehension of your client’s mindset and how it influences their approach to organization and clutter.

In this course, you will have the opportunity to delve into the factors behind clutter accumulation, examine the impact of clutter, explore different types of clutter, and gain a comprehensive understanding of these concepts and more.

Systems & Services – In this course, you will be introduced to the tried-and-true organizing method utilized by graduates of Ultimate Academy®. This system has consistently delivered positive results and will equip you with the skills to achieve the same outcomes. You will gain comprehensive knowledge of each component of this professional organizing system, and learn how to effectively facilitate each aspect to provide clients with efficient, effective, and fulfilling services.

Consultation Report – A professional organizing consultation involves a comprehensive assessment of both the interior and exterior of the client’s home. Typically, each room is evaluated individually, and the findings are documented in a detailed written report. During the consultation, these recommendations are presented to the homeowner and thoroughly discussed.

In manual 2, you will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to plan and execute organizing consultations with confidence through our 26-page consultation report. This comprehensive resource covers everything from what items to bring to checklists that outline step-by-step instructions for the entire process.

The topics covered in this manual include room-by-room assessment, various forms, levels of service, and important considerations when facilitating a consultation.

You will learn the essential principles for effectively preparing for an organizing project in a professional, efficient, and tactful manner.

By conducting this thorough examination of a consultation, we create an opportunity to integrate both the theoretical and practical aspects of the Professional Organizing industry.

Organizing Room-by-Room (Entryway/Foyer to Kitchen) – We will commence Manual 3 with a comprehensive examination of organizing each room individually. Our initial focus will be on exploring the tools and resources available to facilitate room-by-room organization. We will then delve into the organization of specific areas such as the entryway/foyer, living room, dining room, family room, and kitchen. Throughout the discussion of each room, we will cover various aspects including where to initiate the organization process, how to maximize the use of multi-purpose items already present in each space for organizing purposes, identify specific items that can aid in organization, outline logical steps to effectively organize the room, and additional relevant information.

Organizing Room-by-Room (Laundry Room to Basement & Garage) – Manual 4 is a continuation of our comprehensive examination of organizing each room individually. We will explore the laundry room, linen closet, primary bedroom, closet, children’s room, bathroom, home office, basement & garage and more. Throughout the discussion of each room, we will cover various aspects including where to initiate the organization process, how to maximize the use of multi-purpose items already present in each space for organizing purposes, identify specific items that can aid in organization, outline logical steps to effectively organize the room, and additional relevant information.

Eco-Friendly Organizing – Eco-friendly Professional Organizing adopts the core principles of traditional professional organizing, with a focus on the environmental impact of each solution. Every choice is guided by environmental consciousness, encompassing considerations related to organizing methods, recycling and disposal options, home renovations, and the acquisition of new items during decluttering and organizing processes.

Within this manual, you will discover the advantages of embracing eco-friendly professional organizing, learn how to initiate eco-organizing practices, gain insights into eco-friendly recommendations such as sustainable products and furniture, explore eco-conscious solutions, understand how both you and your business can adopt eco-friendly approaches, delve into the concept of carbon neutrality, and acquire strategies for promoting your eco-friendly services.

Organizing for Seniors – This manual provides insights into the underlying factors that might lead seniors to refrain from decluttering, as well as effective and considerate approaches for engaging with clients who are seniors. Through this resource, you’ll gain an understanding of the motivations behind their reluctance and discover strategies to foster meaningful and respectful interactions.

Moving & Decluttering – In this manual, you will learn how to assist individuals in seamlessly transitioning to smaller residences. You will acquire knowledge on assessing project needs and designing personalized downsizing solutions for clients of various scales.

You will gain the ability to efficiently coordinate and supervise decluttering projects, involving tasks such as removing, disposing, recycling, and donating items. These projects are commonly undertaken as part of the preparation process for selling a property. Additionally, you will learn how to efficiently coordinate, oversee, and carry out departure day logistics, arrival day arrangements, and post-move organization.

Downsizing for Seniors – In this course, students will gain the knowledge and skills to assist clients in transitioning to smaller living spaces with ease. They will learn how to determine the scope of projects and create personalized downsizing packages tailored to clients’ specific needs.

The course will cover practical aspects such as assessing client requirements, creating customized solutions, and coordinating all necessary tasks. Students will also be introduced to our unique Grade Level System, which assists in estimating the time and resources needed for planning, preparation, sourcing, and successfully executing downsizing projects.

Hoarding – In this manual, students will learn essential strategies for working with hoarding clients in a compassionate and patient manner. They will discover how to assist these clients in establishing effective organizational routines and solutions while providing support, encouragement, and an objective perspective.

Students will develop the skills needed to create, coordinate, and manage various hoarding cleanup services. This includes tasks such as decluttering and sorting through clients’ possessions, organizing the items that are being kept, arranging for the disposal of unwanted items, coordinating tradespeople for repairs and renovations, and much more.
