Survey Says : Women Want Professional Organizers
In May 2008, Meredith/NBC Universal announced the results of their survey entitled “What Do Women Want?”™ More than 3,000 women revealed key insights on the female psyche across topics including health and well-being.
When asked which service professionals they would most like to hire, 24% of women responded that they wanted to hire a professional organizer to declutter their living space or office.
This finding suggests that women recognize the need to simplify their overwhelmed lives. But, do they realize the inherent health benefits of enlisting the help of a professional organizer?
As Debbie Jordan Kravatz, owner of Virtually Organized, noted on her blog…
Getting organized:
- helps reduce your stress levels (which can help with everything from anxiety and depression to cardiovascular and weight issues),
- puts more time in your day (which can be better used getting annual check-ups, counting calories, and exercising regularly), and
- frees you up to focus on things BESIDES your cluttered counter tops and overstuffed garage (such as spending time with your loved ones and enjoying your favorite hobbies—activities which have been proven to have lingering health benefits).
What are your thoughts? Have you noticed how the amount of clutter in your home affects your health? I’d love to hear details about your personal home/health connection!
