PronounsShe/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.)
  • 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.)
  • Home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)
  • Thrift stores or charity shops
  • Garage or yard sales
  • Other
If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate:I try to"shop" in my own home,i.e. use what I already have. Since we are decluttering, we have empty storage boxes which we can use if need be. I also use empty shoe boxes and any empty box which can be used to create partitioning in drawers.
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 got a kitchen caddy for free from a Freecycle group. Never used it and I have not passed it on yet.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?The equipment for my indoor plant collection (200 + plants, I stopped counting). I need empty pots, cache pots, tools, compost, various growing media, fertilizers, treatments...
This needs regular work (repotting, growing and planting cuttings, treatments on occasions), and everything takes space. It is organised in my covered side passage, but I struggle to maintain order there, despite decluttering regularly. There is always the "I might need this" factor, and in fairness, I usually end up using what I have stored...
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 have repurposed a box of Ferrero rochers into a ear rings storage for my daughter. Each hole holds a pair of earrings and it fits nicely in a shallow drawer, so she can find them at a glance and put them away very easily.
