What are your most compelling reasons to reduce clutter and/or to get organized? These may include your personal goals, work objectives, plans, fears, physical limitations, lifestyle choices, family history, etc.To make life easier as we age. To not leave a burden to the next generation. To make decisions while we still can. Failing health adds urgency.
What external factors drive or support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative signals from outside yourself that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: pressure from your spouse, stuff inherited from elder family members, a need to work from home, etc.)Knowing we cannot expect help from immediate family, we must push ourselves to do this on our own. I also want to turn present storage room to extra room for guests or self to sleep in.
Wanted to do this for the past decade.
What internal factors support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative thoughts or feelings that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: the urge to start a new hobby, feelings of guilt or shame, a desire to share your surplus with people who need it, etc.)I love it when I can help someone out with some of my extras. I love it when it's easy to dispose ecologically too.
I'd like to generate some money from some art I've inherited but can't get going, hesitate too much.
What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)?Space! Easy or easier to put away and find things. Easier to tidy up and clean.
Pleasure knowing most of my extras are being used or are appreciated by others.
