Survey #160: Future Stuff | Command Center | Mutual Support

Large Category or Collection

Think about one of your largest categories or collections of stuff—for example: casual clothing, books, kitchen equipment, dolls, houseplants, decorative items, or any other group of related items of which you have a large set—then answer the following questions.
Briefly describe the category or collection of items.

Your Approach
Which of these statements best describes your strategy or approach for keeping the category of stuff you described above under control?
- I shop without regard for how much I already have, so this category tends to grow out of control on a regular basis.
- I buy new stuff in this category until my storage system is under stress, and then I purge to make room for additions.
- I maintain a strict “one in, one out” policy to keep this category from becoming cluttered.
- I have designed my storage system for this category to include space for future purchases.

Your Issues
Describe any issues you experience with using, storing, displaying, cleaning, maintaining, or organizing the category or collection you described above.

The Command Center
Does you home have a “command center”—a spot where you spend a significant amount of time in a variety of activities (e.g., watching TV, reading, doing paperwork, eating meals or snacks, etc.)?
- Yes
- No
Where is your command center?

Does It Work?
How well does your command center fulfill the functions for which you use it?
