| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B. I'm a naturally organized person, but I can always learn new ways of doing things. Having things tidy and able to be found easily pleases me. It's nice when others feel welcome in my home. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | #B I like these mantras.: Eat the elephant a bite at a time. Thin the herd. Start by starting. I feel competent when I can check off the next completed step in a project. (I guess competent is the right word.) |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Between A and B, but closer to #B. It's really hard to go through sentimental and family things and realize that they may not be as important to someone else as they are to me. But, I can't take them with me when I die. I feel lucky that I have so many family things but I wish I had someone to tell the stories about them to. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | #B I follow the 20/20 rule which goes sort of like this... "Can I get a replacement for less than $20 or within 20 minutes time?" Or the 80/20 rule which says that we use or wear 20% of our things about 80% of the time. So why keep all the rest? It's annoying that spouse can't get on board with this. Sigh. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | #B I am really grateful for the people who let go of the things that I've found at thrift shops, so I try to pay it forward. My mother wouldn't have been caught dead in a thrift store, but she donated 3 carloads of clothing when she was terminally ill because she wanted someone else to get use out of them. |
| Write a statement that summarizes your current mindset with respect to the decluttering and organizing journey. | It's a process and it's not completely done in your lifetime. You can have a lot more time to enjoy people and events and hobbies when you're not tied down to cleaning unnecessary stuff. |
| Future topics | downsizing for seniors or disabled persons |
