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.)
  • I have been solely responsible for decluttering and/or organizing my home.
  • I have enlisted one or more members of my household to help with decluttering and/or organizing.
Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.)
  • Specialty retail store (The Container Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ikea, etc.)
  • Big-box retail store (Walmart, Target, etc.)
  • Home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)
  • Office supply store (Staples, OfficeMax, etc.)
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 purchased a mini three ring binder to use as an address/contact information book. Instead I entered all the information on my "people" email file. So, the binder still is hanging around on the self completely empty collecting dust.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?Sentimental items are my biggest issue. I have clear plastic containers & baskets... without a proper place/home for them. I want to honor the items but I am conflicted with wanting to protect them as well. What to do... ?
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.I took this tip from Ann Gambrell (a NAPO founding member). One needs only two sets of sheets per bed and to store the spare set in between the mattress & boxspring. This keeps the sheets on hand in the room they are to be used freeing up prime linen cabinet space. An extra bonus the sheets will be pressed without having to iron. (I no longer can do this great tip since our current mattress is too heavy for me to lift.) 🙁
