Survey #158 Response from Sue
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Which of the following statements describe the help you’ve received in managing your organizing projects? (Check all that apply or have applied in the past.) |
|
| Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.) |
|
| If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate: | inherited antique furniture and accessories [closet and dresser] |
| Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it. | I have found books and magazines on the subjects pretty worthless, i.e. nothing new under the sun. Otherwise, actual products such as elfa shelving, basic clear lidded shoe boxes [non cardboard] for sorting and storing small components very effective. But I usually wait to purchase any new containers or shelving until AFTER decluttering/organizing and meauring. I have not needed to returrn/exchange org. items in decades. That is why, elfa, albeit pricey, can be configured almost infinitely. |
| For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why? | Nothing yet, except most packing/storage systems for delicate or fragile antiques simply aren't adequate. |
| What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff. | my ancestors used quirky packing/moving methods that seemed frugal and creative, but were lucky; had I repeated those methods [currency in hardback books, jewelry in the flour canister, small collectibles in toes of packed shoes and boots] I'd have had nothing unbroken or unstolen to show for it. |
