Cleaning your house can be an excellent way to impress a date, while cleaning a vacationing neighbor's house can be an excellent way to hide the fact that you've been living there. Cover your tracks with today's Groupon: for $65, you get three hours of professional home or office organizational services from Take Control Organizing (a $135 value).

A nonjudgmental approach and an integrated system for postsession upkeep offer clients the key to healthy, stress-reducing habits. As a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, owner Nikki Kinzer's friendly expertise greets you in a half-hour phone interview, during which she will analyze your needs and help you select an area of focus. At home, kitchens, closets, and kids' rooms are popular picks, and filing systems and desk spaces frequently win attention during office visits. After drinking up the challenges your family or fellow workers face, Nikki will sweat them out over the course of a vigorous three-hour session of sorting, categorizing, and filing. In the end, she'll outline a set of steps that you can take on your own to keep the ball of clutter rolling out your door and into oncoming traffic. Take Control Organizing's online presence includes a frequently updated blog and audio podcast, providing clients with incentive to keep their computers free of petrified banana peels.
