Survey #158 Response from Lynn
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Which of the following statements describe the help you’ve received in managing your organizing projects? (Check all that apply or have applied in the past.) |
|
| Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.) |
|
| Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it. | Years ago I bought my mom a decluttering video from the Slob Sisters in hopes she would get some inspiration to declutter her stuff. She watched it once, had a good laugh and never did a thing to declutter. She just bought more storage containers and furniture to hold the stuff,, but there was never enough storage to contain it all. |
| For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why? | Generations of my mother's family historical documents, photos and correspondence. I feel an obligation to do something with it other than just toss it all since I am the last in line. But, I have little desire to sort through it all and find places that might be interested in it. So, it just sits in storage bins waiting for me to do something with it. |
| What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff. | I reuse boxes of all shapes and sizes to help me sort things and pack items to be donated into my truck. I reuse canning jar boxes to store my canned products on pantry shelves and long bungee cords to thread canning jar rings onto for storage. I use dollar tree small bins for sorting spices in the kitchen, cleaning products under kitchen and bathroom sinks, and small hardware items in the garage. |
| Future topics | Does our email address show to the public in the new website format for survey responses? Will you get the same authentic and forthcoming responses from respondents since comments are now accessible by anyone? What if any privacy measures are being taken to protect our responses? Are not commenting or not using our name the only options now? |

Lynn,
No identifying information other than your first name will be visible to the public. Identifying information that the form collects, such as your IP address, is protected by SSL/TLS encryption, but will be deleted regularly within a short period, since it’s not needed to display the survey responses.
We’ve considered that sharing survey responses publicly in written form might affect the willingness of some of our audience members to answer the surveys as candidly as they might have done when only Gayle and I were seeing the responses. But many people have asked for the ability to see others’ responses, so we’ve opted to enable this feature. Our hope is that the opportunity for our audience members to share responses with one another might create a stronger sense of community and mutual support. (If we find that it doesn’t support that goal, we’ll revise our approach.
Please let us know if you have any other concerns, and thank you for your survey response!
Ed
