Survey #176 Response from Anonymous user

← Go back

July 28, 2023

PronounsShe/her
Which of the following categories of vulnerable people are present in your household?
  • Someone with mobility issues
To what extent do you feel that clutter in your home represents a threat to the physical health, mental health, or safety of your family?
Not at allTo a mild extentTo a moderate extentTo a significant extent
What obstacles or issues interfere with your ability to address the clutter threats to health and safety in your home?I received packages a year ago which I meant to return and I never did. Now it's too late.

I have mail stacked in the entry hall, mostly against one wall. Makes a bad impression on anyone opening the door, even though the living room and dining room are fine. More mail is stacked on the kitchen counterop, but not near the stove or oven. One bedroom has papers over an inch high on the bed, but nobody sleeps in that room. It's the computer room.

The person mentioned earlier--the one with poor mobility--is myself.
Who is your favorite organizing authority or inspiration besides The Clutter Fairy?I do not know of any.
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode.I would put my papers away but every time I try to sort them and decide on categories, I get confused,

This is not because I'm getting old but because I've always been poorly organized, even in my teens.

But now I have many times as many papers as I used to, even after throwing out five garbage can loads of papers in June or so, 2022.

How can I overcome this handicap? How can I find the correct Belonging Place of the ever-improving drafts of each chapter of my novel, for example?

Or the notes that I take at the many courses I attend weekly?
Future topics

I would like a written list of possible categories for filing. I heard the list but could not write them down fast enough.

Thank you!!!
