There Is No Such Thing As A “Perfect Mess”
This article presents quite a statement. Darren Garnick admits his defeat and apologizes for his inappropriate comments about Barry Iszak (Past President of the National Association of Professional Organizers). He states, “I profusely apologize for my past insensitivity to the National Association of Professional Organizers. There is no such thing as a “Perfect Mess.”
Roughly three years ago David Freedman’s book “A Perfect Mess” was released. David mocked the Professional Organizing industry and the value of being organized. It appears Darren was a fan of David Freedman. It seems recently Darren needed to pack up his office because they were relocating. He was left to his own devices, sorting through trash, paper and stuff. Apparently having to relocate really triggered something for him. He felt the overwhelming, debilitating feeling our clients feel all the time. He claims he refuses to hire a professional organizer but admits being organized has it’s benefits.
Actually, Sara, you need to take a closer look at the article to which you’re referring. The person who is “apologizing” is a guy who blogs for the Boston Herald by the name of Darren Garnick. He’s not quoting me. He’s not claiming to be expressing my opinion. He didn’t speak with me for this article. He’s expressing his own opinion. The “apology” has nothing to do with me. You just somehow completely misread it. (And by the way, Darren is actually being facetious in the article, but whatever.)
Love your blog, keep up the good work!
-- Dave
I stand corrected. I neglected to read who wrote the article, I apologize. However, Darren’s facetiousness does not come across at all.
