Survey #289—Full Response from Cee
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a day on which you were busy, but you still felt as if you didn’t accomplish what mattered most. | Cleaning and gathering old paperwork most of day. Later completed shredding. Had several trash bags. When I looked around there were still two areas I felt I hadn't put a dent in. One random pile and a few bags that found the way in my path beside my bed. |
| What challenges keep you from getting things done? | Time to dedicate, thinking to much that I may need again or accidentally toss something of great importance (money or gift cards) |
| Describe a project on which you struggled to start—or to finish. | Paperwork sorting and organizing. I try to sort without organizing but feel like when I stop the piles mix again. Too many piles when sorting. |
| What tools for managing your activities (calendar, task manager, etc.) are the most or least helpful to you? | Tote bags least helpful, I forget what's inside when I don't have the visual. Clear bins help if I only fill with items needing second or third pass. Just need to be in right frame of mind when I go back through. |
| Please complete the following statement: “I never seem to have enough time for _____.” | Decluttering and organizing if I complete daily activities such as cooking and cleaning up after. |
| 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? | Any suggestions on keeping piles of paper sorted making it easier to pickup where I left off each time so I can see some progress. I don't have a room or table surface available to dedicate without having to clear at end of each session without exposing to other family members or surprise guests. Have a clear bin available |
