| How would you rank paper clutter among the categories of stuff that you have difficulty managing? | Paper clutter is not a problem for me. |
Please complete any of the following statements:
| I USED to struggle with ALL of the papers! I saw an episode of Cas Aarssen's Hot Mess House on HGTV. She said, "Horizontal (piles) are hidden. Vertical is visual." She showed a wall hanging magazine kind of thing and it was a light bulb moment. Now we have just 5 categories of papers. 3 in the wall hanging sorter. This Year'sTaxes. Short term (like a car recall notice). Bills to be paid. And Long term storage in a box up in the closet with mortgage papers and old tax returns. And a file folder with birth certificates, passports, SS cards, car pink slips. And that's it. We shred the paid bills. We don't have stacks of random papers laying around any more. So life changing!!! PS... my father in law prints the internet. He paid for TWO mini storage units for YEARS filled with bankers boxes filled with papers printed from Web MD and the Mayo Clinic, etc, etc, 🙁 It was all mixed in with calendars from 1978, and bank statements from the 70's, 80's and 90's. And a car pink slip to a car he no longer owned. And a birthday card from 1995. It was really sad to see so many thousands and thousands of dollars spent to store literal garbage. |
| Tell us about your most treasured paper item. | Hand drawn cards from my son when he was in grade school. We have "memory boxes" with that kind of memorabilia. |
| 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). | I just want to say that I really appreciate your surveys because they really make me think. And also make me so happy for the progress that I've made. Thank you!!! |
