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.having less gear makes me feel lighter (or rather more gear is heavy), I want to have things sorted and packed up. I struggle with how much backstock I have - frugality vs lightness ( fabric wears out, I live in a place where winter can get down to 11F so warm bedding it needed). But I am decluttering some warm sweaters because they really are not going to wear out.
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.)I don't have any outside influences regarding organizing because my stuff is only in my space, pantry/kitchen we have separate counters, shelves and cupboards and while I use more of the shelves I am frequently checking in with my friend if he needs more shelves.
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.)Gandhi said "live simply so that others may simply live". And I do feel that stuff should go where it is needed. And working out what particular stuff works for me, and how much/many of a particular item works for me is a continual process. I feel frustrated by the volume of my bedding but it snows here.
What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)?it will be very easy to maintain. backstock will be packed up, current clothes/towels/bedding will be easy to access.
