PronounsShe/her
Briefly describe the category or collection of items.DIY items like tools, paints, varnishes, rags, brushes, etc.
Which of these statements best describes your strategy or approach for keeping the category of stuff you described above under control?I shop without regard for how much I already have, so this category tends to grow out of control on a regular basis.
Describe any issues you experience with using, storing, displaying, cleaning, maintaining, or organizing the category or collection you described above.I try to buy enough stuff to be prepared for ANY possibilities without having to go back out to the store. But I buy too much and don't take anything back so it accumulates.
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.)?We have a few for different things...like COVID stuff was in one area...mail was in another, etc.
Where is your command center?On my desk in the dining room or on a table near the front door.
If you sit in your command center and look around you, which of the following items are within close reach?
  • Unread mail
  • Catalog
  • Unfinished projects
  • Trash or recyclables
  • Bills to be paid
  • Books in progress
  • Medications
  • Personal-care supplies
  • Jewelry
  • Other people’s misplaced stuff
  • Hobby/art/craft supplies
  • Bags with new purchases
How well does your command center fulfill the functions for which you use it?

It works if I keep up with it but I let it go too long so it doesn't. Then I get too many containers for organizing it and that becomes clutter.

Future topics

I love the idea of before and after photos, even of partially finished jobs. It gives me encouragement. I reallly like your show and find you tend to cover most things I'm thinking about already. Even if you repeat topics, I still enjoy them.
