Survey #289—Full Response from Lala

← Go back

January 2, 2026

PronounsShe/her
Describe a day on which you were busy, but you still felt as if you didn’t accomplish what mattered most.Most days I am not motivated unless it involves food.
The things I have to take care of outside of the house motivate me to leave and so I still don't get anything done in the house. Of course I'd rather do what I want to do, rather than what I really should be doing. Then I get hungry again. Lucky for me I don't eat a lot more than what I should so I don't weigh several hundred lbs.
What challenges keep you from getting things done?As I said not motivated enough to get past the amount of tiredness I feel all the time. I also get decision fatigue even before I start.
Describe a project on which you struggled to start—or to finish.Sorting through stuff to sell keep or toss is hard for me unless I am in just the right mood.
What tools for managing your activities (calendar, task manager, etc.) are the most or least helpful to you?Time and energy constraints or using a timer will stop me from starting any project to do with organizing or sorting through any of my items.
Please complete the following statement: “I never seem to have enough time for _____.”Sorting and organizing.
Our guest for the January 13 webcast is Karen Baker, a productivity consultant and professional organizer. What question would you like us to ask Karen during the live webcast?How do you tackle organizing your own stuff when it is too much in your own house?
