Who We Are

As organizational and productivity specialists, we are passionate about our work to help bring order and efficiency to the lives of our clients. NAPO-CT’s mission is to Connect Connecticut with education, resources, and awareness of the organizing and productivity industry.

Our History

Members get together to celebrate 20 years as a chapter

The Connecticut Chapter (NAPO-CT) was founded in 2003 after 8 years of meeting as an informal group. Our membership grew substantially including a variety of Business Partners. We are a small but mighty group keeping NAPO-CT alive and vibrant.

In January 2023 we celebrated our 20th anniversary as a chapter. On this auspicious day, we gathered together to have some fun and reminisce about the changes over the years.


Professional Organizer vs. Productivity Consultant

The NAPO-CT chapter is made up of Professional Organizers and Productivity Consultants ready to serve their client’s needs. But you probably ask, “Who does what?” We have answers for you!

Professional Organizers (PO) tend to work with the tangible stuff. They will help you clear the clutter, tame paperwork piles, revamp computer files, and reconfigure that master closet. The PO likes to be in your home or business working on the physical aspect of things.

Productivity Consultants (PC) tend to work with the intangible stuff. They will help you hone your time management skills, instruct you how to prioritize tasks, teach you how to use that latest efficiency app, and recalibrate your thinking to be more solution-focused. PCs like to be in your thoughts and mind working on the mental aspect of things.

This isn’t to say there is no overlap between POs and PCs, but this gives a broad breakdown of what they offer depending on your needs and challenges. Many NAPO-CT Professionals are trained in both aspects of the industry but choose to specialize in one area over another.
