Survey #160 Response from Ashley
| Briefly describe the category or collection of items. | Toddler toys ( about 60% are stored in rotation phase) Winter clothing is next, and paperwork from our cross country move is the third largest collection. |
|---|---|
| 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. | Open toy bins collect dust, so this week was about maintaining the inside of those containers. A wash & a little bleach water to sanitize. Next, I’ll grab my gently stored Space Bags to pack up Winter Clothes ( I estimate 15 cubic feet since we added snow and ski gear). We are gearing up for the neighborhood garage sale, so I’m creating a dry erase countdown clock to display on 5 doors to remind us daily to purge intentionally to that sale 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? | My office and separate foyer |
| If you sit in your command center and look around you, which of the following items are within close reach? |
|
| You selected “Other” above. Please elaborate. | Shelved organizing supplies, chalkboard, dry erase, peg board, label maker |
| How well does your command center fulfill the functions for which you use it? | My office is super effective! We are saving up to refurbish nice furniture I received from a giver on Buy Nothing. I have a hide-away sleeper sofa in my reading corner, so that my office can double as a guest bedroom. My two vertical shelves are secured as a peninsula 3 feet from the right angle corner, to a) conceal closet doors from Zoom meetings and b) to create a partition dressing/seated area. |
| Future topics | Futuristic organizing always intrigues me! I just joined the technology SIG for NAPO and hope to become a group coordinator. Do you ever refer audience members to SIG organizers when they are in the same city? |
