NAPO Colorado - National Association of Professional Organizers

Leave a handle shopping bag in your closet. As you try clothes on, if something doesn't fit, or you don't like it, don't hang it back up, drop it in the shopping bag. When the bag is full, take it to your favorite donation place. The goal is to only have clothes in your closet that you really like.

GO MONTH 2008 was a success!

Our first-ever radio promotion on MIX 100 FM, ran the last two weeks in January. There were over 150 entries for "win a day with a team of professional organizers", which is double the average response for contests.

The winner of the contest chose to have her 2-car garage organized, with the goal of parking 2 cars inside.

We purged: 2 bags of toxic waste, a truck-bed of "give away", and a dumpster full of trash. We had tarps out front to sort items and 4 cars stopped to shop at the "garage sale".

Before	After

"WE LOVE OUR GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I had the grand pleasure of working with NAPO-Colorado. Our garage was a pitiful excuse--we could only park 1 car in there. The rest of the space was a mess of "stuff"-tools, equipment, bikes, boxes, you name it. The NAPO Colorado team came in and totally transformed the space into a clean, organized, and orderly 2-car garage again! We are so happy to be able to park our cars in there, and now know where everything is. It's been an incredible transformation!

The NAPO-Colorado team was so much fun to work with. The abundance of energy, smiles, and an enthusiastic spirit was infectious!. They were able to ask the right questions to really help us determine if we really needed so much stuff. We were able to throw a lot away, and donate a lot of things too. It was a great feeling to be so much "lighter"!

We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. I would love to work with NAPO-Colorado again-- they were awesome!! Thank you NAPO Colorado!!"
