National Organising Week (NOW)
We're delighted to confirm that National Organising Week (NOW) 2026 will take place Monday 14th - Sunday 20th September 2026.
NOW 2026
“We don’t need more space - we need better relationships with what we already have.”
National Organising Week 2026 shines a spotlight on a challenge many people are quietly facing: overconsumption. In a world where it’s easier than ever to acquire more, many homes - and minds - are feeling the weight of excess.
Understanding Overconsumption at Home
Overconsumption isn’t just about having “too much stuff.” It often reflects busy lives, changing priorities, emotional attachments, and habits formed over an entire lifetime. The result can be cluttered spaces, decision fatigue, and a sense of overwhelm that affects everyday life.
Professional organisers understand that behind every overfilled drawer or crowded room is a story - and an opportunity for positive change.
Get Involved
During National Organising Week 2026, you’ll find 7 daily blogs published here on the APDO Website – here to inform and help unpick the often complex relationship many of us have with consumption. APDO and its members across the country will be sharing insights, tips, and real-life transformations to inspire change.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by “too much stuff” or simply ready for a reset, a professional organiser can help you move forward with clarity and confidence. (link to find an organiser).

Having a designated National Organising Week gave me the impetus I needed to undertake some tasks I'd been procrastinating over - like sorting under the stairs.
Thank you APDO for organising the NOW Twitter Chat. It was such a buzz to chat with Professional Organisers and get their hints and tips.

What can I do to spread the word about NOW?
If you have a website or a blog, why not give NOW a mention and point your visitors to the APDO website?
If you work in an office, you could hold a competition over who can most effectively organise their work station!
Discuss NOW with your friends, family and colleagues so you can encourage each other to tackle those niggling organisational tasks!
