PronounsShe/her
Briefly describe the category or collection of items.BOOKS"We have maybe 30-40,000 books in a library in our house. Most are cataloged by the library of congress numbers. In what was our second house but now our primary residence, we have books filling nine bookcases.
Which of these statements best describes your strategy or approach for keeping the category of stuff you described above under control?#3 above, regular purges, or I send them to storage, or... now I'm trying to buy more on Kindle
Describe any issues you experience with using, storing, displaying, cleaning, maintaining, or organizing the category or collection you described above.I would rather buy books than anything else. There is never enough time or space for them all. Our huge library is cataloged. Our smaller one is... well... done by memory. I have some rough categories. London. Medical. Sherlock Holmes. Antique books. Philosophy. Science. Travel.
Does you home have a “command center”—a spot where you spend a significant amount of time in a variety of activities (e.g., watching TV, reading, doing paperwork, eating meals or snacks, etc.)?Yes
Where is your command center?On my sofa in my sitting room/office/living room.
If you sit in your command center and look around you, which of the following items are within close reach?
  • Unfinished projects
  • Trash or recyclables
  • Papers to be filed
  • Bills to be paid
  • Electronic devices or accessories
  • Other people’s misplaced stuff
How well does your command center fulfill the functions for which you use it?

I would rather it be a desk. It is more cluttery around me than is comforting or energizing. Sometimes I feel defeated and that this is not the best place for all the activities I do. Sometimes I just collapse in it. It is comfortable, though, and I have good light, and coffee at hand.
