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 been solely responsible for decluttering and/or organizing my home.
Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.)
  • 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.Hangars that could hold multiple pairs of slacks, which were just a nuisance to use. Drawer dividers for small items, socks, undies, etc., which also were more bother than they were worth. To solve these two issues, I just pared down the volume and now everything fits in the closet or drawer without any organizing paraphernalia.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?Nothing at the moment, but I did just recently employ Command hooks on the wall to hold some cleaning tools which were previously difficult to access in a cupboard. Working great, and easy and inexpensive.
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.Heavyweight vinyl shelf liner, the type that is just slightly tacky on one side, has really made old wood cabinets and drawers so nice to use. I scrubbed out the insides with Murphy’s Oil Soap and then put in the liner and they are like new. Using white liner also makes everything easier to see in there. In the past, I might have thought I needed containers on the shelves or in the drawers, but the nice, easy to clean surface was really all that I needed.
