Now is the time to figure out where the project is stuck at. It may help if you start by asking these questions before you continue.
The above list of local resources might help you get back on your feet and into your project. If you cannot find something or someone on the list, please complete the Contact Form at the bottom of this page so we can help point you in the right direction.
EXPERT TIP: A gold standard in professional organizing is to deal with today first, then tomorrow and maybe yesterday.
