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.Getting everything sorted while I’m still mentally capable of doing so
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.)My disability is been a huge motivation in more recent years as I need to get things finished while I am still mentally capable of doing so
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.)Again it is my disability and my declining mental capacity to get things sorted before I can no longer make decisions about my stuff I have also added the idea of ‘memorialising’ some of my things (someone from this group mentioned it a while back) eg written descriptions/information of the provenance of the item/why it is special to me so that it will hopefully help others when they have to take over the decision making for me
What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)?I’m starting to enjoy doing my crafts even though organising my craft supplies and the craft room is not finished I’m am starting to make cards for people’s birthdays etc and it’s easier to find gifts and wrap them nicely as the supplies for that are nicely sorted and stored where my staff can easily find/get them for me
