In 1985, before few heard of our profession, Ann quietly co-founded NAPO, the National Association of Professional Organizers.  The organization now boasts over 29 Chapters across the country, and 4,000 members.  John is President of the Los Angeles Chapter.  Of course we count on Ann as our colleague and friend (you can see Ann pictured here with the Los Angeles attendees at the 2007 National Conference, front row, second to left– John is in green above Ann.)

    Hi John!
    Thank you for your post!
    After 22 years in the organizing profession, helping others to become better organized, I continue to see how vital professional organizing consultants are to our
    communities.
    Teaching adult school classes, I am always delighted to welcome newcomers. So many folks believe they are alone in their clutter dilemmnas. They are excited to be in a room of others with similar clutter situations.
    My systems and helpful information follow the “keep it simple” theory to promote productivity. Success stories abound and former students have repeated my classes, over the years,to continue to be motivated and encouraged to move forward.
    Because of this I started my Clutter Support Groups, which are small (7-members) groups of those with serious clutter problems and willing to meet every 2 weeks to set realistic goals and to report back to the group on their progress. And have we seen progress!! After nearly 8 years facilitating the two groups, our members continue to inspire and encourage each other and me!
    The first step is to admit you have the problem and the 2nd step is to get involved in classes or a support group. You deserve an uncluttered and less stressful life. Go for it!!
    I hope to see you there soon. Again, thank you for the mention!

    Hello Ann!
    So great to hear from you. I thought our readers would be interested in your expert classes. We receive a LOT of e-mail wanting classes, and as you know, we haven’t ventured into this yet.
    We all appreciate and honor your committment to disorganization and how it deeply affects a small but powerful part of the population.
    Keep forging ahead, we’re behind you.
    I would be curious to hear from readers of our blog. Have you (or would you) ever take a class on this subject? Do you find that the support and group comraderie helps you reach your goals?
    We’d love to hear your feedback!
    – John
