Survey #247—Full Response from Karla

← Go back

February 21, 2025

PronounsShe/her
Please select the statement that BEST describes your paper backlog.I have a backlog of paper for sorting and filing that’s starting to become a problem.
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.Insurance policy information as I have many different policies. I need to purge the pile that is starting to build up
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 set aside time to shred the paper from all the Medicare Supplement offers I am receiving. My husband and I turned 65 this month.
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.I have spent the past two years decluttering from 3000 s ft to 400 s ft. We move every 6 months and I’m pretty much under control.
The only thing I have left is photos.
I vow to not have to move the totes of photos every time we move. I really need to get this project done. We will be moving again in April. I just have a mental block to getting started. It seems like such a daunting task. I am going to revisit all your episodes on photos, papers and moving to find the motivation to just get started. Once I get going I know I will build the muscles I need to finally get this off my shoulders!! Any suggestions would be helpful.
Future topics

Photo sorting and scanning
