| Please complete one or more of the following statements: “I struggle with paper clutter because ___.” “I would have an easier time managing paper if only ___.” “The accumulation of paper in my home makes me feel ___.” | I struggle with paper clutter because I always have multiple projects going and I put all my energy into advancing those projects, and not organizing the paper contrail that follows my actions.

| 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. | Organizing my messy office feels utterly impossible to me. I'm ADHD and I've tried doing it in very small, say ten minute increments and I can barely manage those, but it's a losing battle. I have very large stacks and once something has been "stacked" it is quite literally out of mind and i've completly forgotten about it, or tht I even have it. I periodically "stack" just to have the calm of a neat office and now I've got huge stacks. Help, please! |
