| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | B is closest. I'm a naturally organized person with mental and physical impediments that I've had to develop skills to work around. Sometimes I have to accept my limitations and let things go or ask for or pay for help. It's very frustrating and overwhelming not being able to do the things I'm inclined for and being unable to have the home I want and that is healthiest for me. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B although I'm more of a sporadic person... Sometimes it's a little at a time and then I'll spend a day and a half just working hard on the one thing... And then do some more little bits... Getting things done feels good, sometimes exciting or invigorating. I'm a planner (sometimes I do too much planning but what can you do) so projects tend to be broken down and plotted out if they're big. Not to say they're not overwhelming still sometimes but it helps. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement A. It's hard for me to let go of these kind of things especially and my life has been complicated and often painful but the good things and bad things are often intertwined so the objects (which I also need to help my problematic memory) often bring joy and sadness together. It's all kind of a jumble. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Very statement A. Quite a few times I tried to let some things go that I did end up needing later. While I know there are many things that I have let go and been fine without, I've learned to be cautious with things that may be harder to replace because those ones keep come back to bite me. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Both? I hold onto the things because they were expensive until I get sick of them making me feel awful and eventually get rid of them and... Mostly at least... Feel much better |
| Write a statement that summarizes your current mindset with respect to the decluttering and organizing journey. | Have at least a general idea of what you'd like the outcome to be. Do a little planning then take paced and sustainable action. Listen to your body and emotions - take breaks when they tell you that you need them. It's ok if things aren't perfect - they will evolve as you keep working on them. Better is still better and all progress should be celebrated and shared. I want my home to be a space that helps me be happy, healthy, calm, and support my fun and my work. Sorry that was a bit more than one statement. |
