Our friend Monica is always talking about how much time goes into her work on the television show Mission: Organization.
Monica Ricci has always mentioned the lowest amount of hours spent on the show, and the highest. The numbers were pretty spectacular (yes, she was organized and tracked all her time.)
Along with that number, there is a new extreme statistic from the stars of TV's Clean House. You've got to read all the amount of time that goes into these television shows. Check it out after the jump.
Monica's lowest was 85 hours, and her highest was 110. And this was just her time.
That time includes planning, sourcing of products, on-camera time, all off-camera time (building furniture, painting walls,) time spent talking to vendors she knew, or tracking down new vendors-- lots of things she needed to tackle in order to complete the project. Monica may want to elaborate on this a bit because reads our blog all the time.
Joan Kosmachuk, a colleague of ours in Boston mentioned today an organizing statistic she discovered from a new episode of Clean House-- and it was along the same lines as Monica.
The episode, Clean House Comes Clean, shares the thoughts of the team that puts the organizing and design show on (you can see Niecy Nash the host in the banner above). The crew stated that on average -- 6 days of up to 18/hours per day were spent to declutter, clean and redecorate each home on the show. That is approximately 108 hours. We wonder how many staff people work for that 108 hours? Wow. That's even more hours than Monica's highest.
We know many professional organizers, interior designers and professional contractors read our blog. Can anyone offer any feedback on this "new" statistic-- and how long things take? We bring this up to educate and not to discourage clients of course.
