Nowadays, there are many young people who like to "buy, buy, buy", but there are not many who are good at "breaking away". In recent years, organizers have emerged as a profession in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. In 2022, in the "Occupational Classification Dictionary of the People's Republic of China" released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, "organizers" will be officially included in the occupational category of resident service personnel.
Although Fan Yuhua has not been in the industry for a long time, she already has a lot of experience. In her opinion, organizers need to help customers balance the relationship between people, objects and space, "Organizing and storing is not only about things, but also about the quality of life." ”

Recently, a reporter from Labor Daily followed Fan Yuhua, who was a lecturer, to the "15-minute Employment Service Circle" vocational skills training course in Puxing Road Street, learned some of the most basic storage skills, and also learned about some new trends in the current storage industry.
"Hanging, folding, and spreading" three steps to complete the seasonal clothing arrangement
"Now is the time to organize clothes for the change of seasons, as long as you master the three ways to store clothes: hanging, folding and tiling, you will definitely be able to greatly save storage space and make clothes neat and orderly. As an introductory tutorial for storage, Fan Yuhua first took out a box of underwear and socks for the reporter, "Many people will roll it into a big lump when sorting out their socks, which will cause the socks to become loose and not protect the sock material well." ”
"Today we're going to learn how to store your pockets. You will find that many things in our lives can be operated with pocket storage. I'll take socks as an example. I saw Fan Yuhua fully open a pair of socks, one heel facing up, and one heel facing down neatly folded in half. Fold the cuff of the sock to the middle, and then gently put the tip of the sock into the cuff of the sock, so that the cuff of the sock will not be stretched open too hard, and the sock can be well protected.

Socks folded in the "pocket method" are stored in a cardboard box and are easy to pick up when you want to wear them.
In the same way, the underwear can also be folded neatly using the "pocket method", the two sides are folded neatly in the middle to make it rectangular, and then the bottom can be tucked into the elastic band at the waist.
The hanging rule is relatively simple, Fan Yuhua said that a hanger can be increased from one trouser to two, further compressing the storage space.
"Generally, the storage box is larger than the folded sweater, and often in order to cover one layer, two sweaters will be folded and placed in one layer. Fan Yuhua reminded that sweaters should not be folded and then put into the storage box, although one layer can hold two pieces, but the thickness is doubled. The sweater should be laid along the edge of the storage box and then folded, so that not only the thickness of the sweater in one layer is reduced, but each layer is very clear from the side.
Decoration + storage design has become a new trend in the industry
In Fan Yuhua's view, organization and storage is actually an industry dedicated to helping people effectively manage and organize their living space. Through reasonable planning and organization methods, the living environment is more tidy and orderly, and the quality of life and efficiency are improved.
"I remember going to a villa near the big world to do door-to-door storage, the male owner of that house has a lot of clothes, but the entire underground cloakroom does not have a clothes pole, it is all shelves. Two or three hundred pieces of clothing could not be hung, but could only be folded. Fan Yuhua recalled the "painful" experience, "There were two of us, and it took 9 hours to stack, which is really unforgettable in this life." ”

"In fact, the main reason is that when the house was renovated, there were many unreasonable aspects in the cabinet design. Fan Yuhua told reporters that her daily work is currently divided into two kinds, one is the well-known door-to-door storage work, and the other is the storage design that starts from the decoration, and the decoration plan can be formulated according to their life and storage habits before the customer moves in. "It has become a new trend in the current organization and storage industry to consult the organization and storage plan at home, the transformation plan of the cabinets at home, and even to let the organizer find the defects of the cabinet design in the decoration stage. ”
"The first step is to conduct item research, inventory of what items are in the customer's home, as well as the approximate number and size, and understand the customer's basic information, living habits and home movement. Different people have different habits, Fan Yuhua gave an example to reporters: "Some people put jewelry on the dresser, but some people are used to putting it in the entrance, if the decoration of the entrance is not designed to be airtight, the jewelry is exposed to the air for a long time, it is easy to accumulate dust and oxidize." ”
The next step is to design the plan, determine the plane design drawing, deepen the storage design plan, and submit it to the cabinet dealer to place an order for production, and then install the site survey and accept the completion results. Finally, the check-in guidance is given to the customer for storage guidance and suggestions.
Fan Yuhua told reporters that in fact, the storage needs of a 60-square-meter house and 90-square-meter are almost the same, so a small space needs to be planned before decoration. "From the design point of view, we can customize one-to-one storage planning for customers, and we can solve customer needs from the source. In her opinion, everyone is unique, so the space to fit must be unique.
From being healed by "storage" to healing others by "storage".
Speaking of the opportunity to contact storage, Fan Yuhua said frankly that it was because of 19 years of workplace frustration, and she suffered a lot of physical and psychological pressure, and "storage" pulled her out of the trough. "At that time, it was really healing to tidy up my home while learning from online videos. And I have completely renovated two houses, since I was a child, I feel that I have a special feeling for space storage, and then I spent money to learn soft decoration design and storage design, and gradually devoted myself to the work of a storage engineer full-time. ”
She was healed by "storage", and now she is healing more customers and families. "I met a sister Xiao A before, who resolutely left her job in her forties, and her parents and husband felt that she couldn't manage the house well. It happened that I came across the decoration of a new house, and naturally this task fell on Xiao A, and I accidentally learned that Fan Yuhua knew how to decorate and design, so I entrusted it to her.
"I adapted some of the home layouts, kitchens and sideboards to their family's preferences and habits, adding some layout and subtleties. As a result, not only is her whole family satisfied, but her in-laws' picky relatives also feel that the seemingly ordinary house is good anywhere. "For this case. Fan Yuhua felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Xiao A's father once objected to Xiao A in person to let Fan Yuhua work at home, but in the subsequent decoration process, the whole family mobilized to load shelves, classify and place items, and gradually resolved the contradiction between Xiao A and the family, which was approved by his parents.
"In our traditional Chinese concept, the care of the family is the responsibility of the heroine by default, but this is a huge system, which is not as simple as running a company. Fan Yuhua believes that the construction of a home storage system is also a very important part of women's development.
"The current social atmosphere is full of too many emotional problems, in my opinion, it comes down to because everyone's eyes are looking outward, if our focus begins to be biased towards ourselves, more understanding ourselves, exploring ourselves, accepting ourselves, then everyone can start a journey of self-healing, in this process, storage is just a tool, self-integration is king. Fan Yuhua said, "I hope that one day, my storage can heal more individuals and the families behind them." ”
