Frequently Asked Questions
Sessions & Time
We will do the digital organizing either for you, with you or can guide you each step of the way (you choose!). We work at your comfort level.
We do not make any decisions for you so no matter how involved you are, your input is needed at beginning of the project, whenever we need to gather more information from you to proceed with your project and for any decisions or approvals.
Every project and every person we work with is different. A lot of it depends on how quickly you are to make decisions and how much you are involved. Therefore, the amount of time ranges greatly person to person and unfortunately, we do not know when your project will be completed (we wish we had a crystal ball!). Know that we will always work as efficiently as possible on your project but ultimately the amount of time varies.
Yes, we require a minimum 2-hour session.
Every organizing project takes different amounts of time so unfortunately, we are unable to give you the exact time it takes.
Although, we are able to do some of the work for your project without needing you at every session. We will never make a decision without you so will ask you to be present when your input is needed.
Everything you share with us is confidential. We fully respect your privacy, and all information viewed or shared during sessions will be held to the utmost confidentiality.
We have a confidentiality clause in our Service Agreement as well.
Our Services
When you first contact us, we will ask you a series of questions to get to know you and the type of digital organizing you are looking for help with. Whether it be with your email, digital documents, photos, contacts, calendar, notes, passwords, website bookmarks, files, apps or more.
We will then schedule a complimentary virtual Initial Organizing Assessment (30 minutes) with you to discuss your goals, challenges and come up with an action plan. We will suggest our most cost-effective pricing option for your project and assign a lead Digital Organizer and Productivity Specialist that will be the best fit for you.
If you decide to move forward with scheduling an organizing session, we will email you a digital Service Agreement (with Credit Card Authorization) for your review and signature.
You will then be e-introduced to the lead Digital Organizer and Productivity Specialist that you will work with so you can contact them directly.
At your first organizing session, the lead Digital Organizer will meet with you virtually via Zoom and request screen share and remote control. Both you and the lead Digital Organizing will have control, but your control will always override our control.
You can read all about our digital life organizing services and what it is here.
No, we are not an IT company. It is natural to come across IT issues when we are working on your digital organizing projects since we know how things should work and when they are not working properly. If you do not have an IT contact, we can refer you to an IT company to resolve the issue for you. We are not liable for any IT issues that arise when we are organizing your digital life.
We only organize information and help set up processes for your information. We do not create, edit, troubleshoot or delete IT software code or hardware.
Every organizing project takes different amounts of time so unfortunately, we are unable to give you the exact time it takes. Although, depending on the project, we may be able to do a lot of the work without needing you at every session.

Depending on the project, we may be able to do a lot of the work without needing you at every session. We will never make a decision without you so will ask you to be present when we need your input, especially for a portion of the first session.

Plans & Pricing
When we meet with you for the virtual Initial Assessment we will go over our pricing options with you and recommend which option would be most cost effective for you. You can check out our options here.
We have two different pricing options for our services. Either our Be Simple A La Carte sessions or our Be Clear Monthly Plans. The Be Clear Monthly Plans are more cost-effective. The Be Clear Monthly Plans are great if you want to make continuous progress or if you have a larger project but are on a budget. The pricing per session ranges $297-$597.
Unfortunately, we do not give estimates because it varies so much by project and person. We really wish we had a crystal ball! We don't know what we will find along the way or how fast you are able to make decisions which all factors into time and cost.
We will work how you want us to work – at your pace or if you want us to push/nudge you further we will, or you can work on things in between sessions as well to be even more cost effective. We can promise that during the sessions we work at the most efficient pace as possible without losing integrity of the work being done.
Yes. If you need to cancel a session, we require a minimum of 48-hour notice, or you will be charged for the amount of time that you scheduled. The card on file will be charged for any cancellations that don't conform to the cancellation policy.
There is a minimum 3-month commitment when you sign up for the Be Clear Monthly Plan that continues month-to-month after that period until you give a 30-day written notice.
Yes, the plan continues month-to-month after the initial 3-month period until you give a 30-day written notice that you would like to discontinue.
Yes! After the 3-month minimum commitment, you can change your Be Clear Monthly Plan to a different amount of sessions per month. For example, you can switch from the 4 Session/mo plan to the 2 Session/mo plan. You must let us know in writing of the change you would like after the 3-month minimum commitment.
If you schedule a Be Simple A La Carte session, we run payment after the session is completed.
If you are on a Be Clear Monthly Plan, you pick to have your payment ran on the 1st or 15th of each month automatically. All Be Clear Monthly Plan payments are automatically ran each month. If you schedule an additional session to your plan, we will run payment after that additional session is completed.
General
Be Organizing is a company of Professional Digital Organizers and Productivity Specialists whose goals are to reduce stress and save time in people’s lives so they can do what they love.
We specialize in digital life services including organizing and creating systems for digital pictures, music e-files, digital documents, email, passwords, personal accounts, contacts, calendar, CRMs and more! Whether it be for your business or your own personal digital life, we will always work with you as a team, at your pace and within your comfort zone.
We offer courses for those who want to take action but don’t necessarily want to purchase 1-1 organizing sessions.
We were founded in November 2012. Our founder, Alex Brzozowski, was a Paralegal prior to starting Be Organizing where she worked with two different law firms who were both paperless back in 2008 and 2009 which was unheard of. She was able to see and understand firsthand how beneficial it was to have systems in place to save time and therefore money. Alex even became the “go to” person when it came to keeping case files and documents in order.
Eventually, Alex decided that the law firm environment was no longer for her because she wanted to collaborate more with clients and co-workers, and build a business helping others. She knew she enjoyed and was good at creating systems and organizing information, documents and other things. She also knew that these processes are an important aspect of life in order to save time to do the things you love.
While researching business ideas online, Alex came across the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and saw that clients were hiring for that type of service, so decided to start the business, Be Organizing, LLC, organizing digital life. She also joined the local NAPO-San Diego Chapter and has been on the board ever since. She is currently the Chapter President.
Since Alex has started the business, she has grown the Be Organizing Team including adding other digital organizing and productivity specialists.
We specialize in digital decluttering and organizing services and courses. Although when you hire us, you hire the whole Be Organizing Team so we are able to integrate all our knowledge to help our clients. The majority of organizers only provide home organizing services and only a few provide digital organizing services.
With digital organizing, not only will we help organize but we will teach/train and find the best program/solution that fits your needs. We keep the organizing process fun and try not to add more anxiety to what you are already feeling. We want to simplify, reduce stress, save time and make life easier for you so you can do more of what you love and just be.
Since we work remotely, we serve the entire United States and have even helped people outside of the country.
We do have team members that live across the United States and our headquarters is located in San Diego, CA.
Yes, we have liability insurance.
We are not bonded.
There is a not a professional degree or any regulations to become a digital organizer/productivity specialist. Be Organizing is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers and Productivity Specialists (NAPO) and we hold ourselves up to their Code of Ethics and are always continuing to grow in our expertise.
