| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B. Growing up I was always told by my family that I was a disorganized slob - but now I understand that what works for them absolutely does not work for me, and when life gets busy it is ok to put off the things that are less important like making sure clothes make it from the laundry basket into the dresser or closet. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B. The overwhelmed feeling still comes but now I have learned to focus on one small area instead of the big picture and to celebrate the small wins no matter how small. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement A - still struggling with this one. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement A - I struggle with this, I think in part because I remember a period of 2 years of extreme scarcity when I was young - I worry about the cost if I might need to replace an item, and worry about the value of the item if I can think of other uses for it. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | A but working toward B - I have been able to let a couple of things go despite their monetary value, when I have been able to sell the items. |
| Write a statement that summarizes your current mindset with respect to the decluttering and organizing journey. | It's a journey with a lot of switchbacks, but I'm still making my way along the path. I may never reach my destination, but I'm doing my best given everything I have going on. Celebrating every win, no matter how small it may seem to be. Donated a shopping bag full of yarn - it was really hard to let go, but I managed to do it for a good cause! |
