Briefly describe the category or collection of items.I have a lot of houseplants. Several years ago, during the dreary winter months, I invented a new holiday for myself. January, February and March are "Buy yourself a houseplant and feel happy" months.
Which of these statements best describes your strategy or approach for keeping the category of stuff you described above under control?I have designed my storage system for this category to include space for future purchases.
Describe any issues you experience with using, storing, displaying, cleaning, maintaining, or organizing the category or collection you described above.It can become a chore to take care of too many plants. I have been learning to stop trying to save every plant and send sad looking ones to the compost pile.
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?Desk in the kitchen
If you sit in your command center and look around you, which of the following items are within close reach?
  • Dirty dishes or drinking vessels
  • Unread mail
  • Trash or recyclables
  • Papers to be filed
  • Bills to be paid
How well does your command center fulfill the functions for which you use it?

Works well as long as I do the "work", i.e keep discarding junk mail, paying pills as they come in, filing paperwork as needed, etc. I made a basket for catalogs, and go through it every week, throwing some into the recycling. Truth is, I rarely use catalogs anymore.
