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.)
  • Specialty retail store (The Container Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ikea, etc.)
  • Big-box retail store (Walmart, Target, etc.)
  • Online store (Amazon, Overstock, Wayfair, 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 have bought storage bins for the playroom for specific toy types (Lego, dolls, matchbox cars, etc) that my family uses to shove random toys and objects and even trash when it's clean up time. So, clean floor, but no idea what's in each bin (puzzle pieces, beads, Lego, crayons, lollipop wrapper); drives me crazy
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?My husband's and son's camping equipment. I have no idea how to corral the stuff, if it can be stored in the garage or not, and they just dump it when they get home. Right now, it's all scattered in the garage, my son's room and the guest room/miscellaneous room. The bins in the garage I thought they bought for storage are half empty or worse.
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.Some shoe boxes or product boxes are very solid and made with thick, stable cardboard: I love those for crafts or trip souvenirs. My daughter made a cat bed out of a cardboard box (probably Amazon): does that count as cat storage?
