While I’ve always been someone who loves staying organized, it took a global pandemic trapping me inside my small apartment for that lightbulb moment to go off that this isn’t just a hobby, but a real passion that could be a business.
Profitt Organizing began like most small businesses, at home. But more specifically in this case, it started in my pantry. Because of COVID-19, I was cooking all meals at home for the first time in my life (I previously frequented restaurants both for my job and just for fun). Additionally, there was a directive from the CDC to limit trips outside the home. This meant I needed to stock up and buy many items in larger quantities that I had ever needed previously.
At first (after painstakingly cleaning and wiping down all groceries), I was admittedly just throwing them in the pantry, hoping the door would close. After a month or two of this, I realized enough was enough, ordered some organizing supplies and got to work.
I added helper shelves, turn tables and bins with labels. I’m happy to say that many months later, I’m still cooking 99% of our meals at home and it’s so much nicer to go to the pantry and see exactly what I need to make dinner with or exactly what I’m running low on and should add to the grocery list.
Working in small spaces is definitely a challenge, but it’s one of the more rewarding things about this business. I was able to make my small pantry work for our new pandemic-adjusted lifestyle and I’d love to do the same for you!
