Survey #247—Full Response from Millie
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Please select the statement that BEST describes your paper backlog. | All of my papers are sorted and filed. |
| Please select the statement that BEST describes your ongoing relationship with incoming paper. | I sort and manage incoming mail and other papers at least weekly. |
| Describe the types or categories of paper clutter that you find the most challenging to sort, purge, and organize. | I don't know how long to keep certain papers, like medical records, and Medicare bills. I have paperwork from when I purchased my house 20 years ago. Do I need these papers when I go to sell my house? All my papers are filed in a two-drawer filing cabinet but it's getting full and I'd like to thin it out. What can I shred? |
| 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 ___.” | The accumulation of paper is my home makes me feel like my kids are going to hate me when I die because they won't be able to figure out my "system." |
| 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. | Would you recommend removing photos from albums and putting them in archival storage boxes? At the bare minimum it would take up a lot less space. These are photos we rarely look at and could likely be thinned in the process of removing them from the albums. After our deaths, I doubt my children will want all of them. |
