Valley Magazine Says “OrganizingLA is a Great Place to Start the Organizing Process”

It’s not often that we’re in the same magazine as a Hollywood superstar like Will Smith.

Will has a large family so we are sure he appreciates a well-organized home.

In the January – February issue of San Fernando Valley Magazine, we were among an elite group of organizing professionals and design experts interviewed by author Elyse Glickman.  We were especially honored to be first expert mentioned!

"As there is never any shame in asking an expert, a great place to start the process is OrganizingLA, a consulting firm specializing in home and office organizing projects.  Under the watch of owner John Trosko, clients not only determine what needs to be tossed or stored, but what they hold on to too much in the first place."

"Organizing is more than just a neatly folded towel, or a stack of papers or shopping for containers."  Trosko points out.  "Understanding why you accumulate will help you wipe out the clutter."

"It’s easier to pile up items instead of taking the time to make a decision to retain or discard.  In our work-every-minute world, mass consumption society, people do not realize the amount of time lost to simply locating paperwork, tools, gadgets, addresses, DVDs, flashlights, keys or photographs.  Just think about the last time you looked for that warranty or receipt in order to repair to return something."

Other experts mentioned in the humongous piece included:

• Robin Valdez, Owner of Expert Organizers in Encino, Calif.
• Closet Crafters of Ventura, Calif.
• Jessica Duquette of In Perfect Order in Los Angeles
