The organizer's primary skill is in helping the client decide what should be done with their items, educating the client on organizational techniques, and developing strategies and installing systems so the client can maintain the organized space for the long-termcitation needed]. Usually, the process involves three steps: Removing — the organizer will remove the items from the cluttered area so as to visualize the total space available and to start fresh. Sorting — the organizer may work with the client, or may work largely alone, and will sort the items into different piles. These piles may consist of any or all of the following: "keep", "throw", "donate", "sell", "fix/repair", and/or "give to friends." The client is usually required at some point to determine the final status of the items. Replacing — the organizer may introduce organizational products like bins, shelves, or filing systems. The goal of the "replacing" stage is to create a visually appealing area that is customized so that the client can easily retrieve what they are looking for, and can maintain the "system" with minimal effort. Growth of the industry The National Association of Professional Organizers represents approximately 4,500 organizers in the U.S. citation needed] There are no estimates of the total number of organizers in the U.S. but the profession is clearly growing rapidlycitation needed], largely due to the popularity of such television programs as Clean Sweep, Mission: Organization, Clean House, Life Laundry and NeatTV as well as the prevalence of a multitude of magazines and articles that have appeared in the last few yearscitation needed].
