| 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.) |
|
| If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate: | My care staff now help me with organising and de cluttering |
| Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.) |
|
| If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate: | I use containers that I already have and use boxes from past deliveries and boxes from items and only purchase items if absolutely necessary - eg recently purchased command hooks to hang the reusable cleaning gloves (toilet only - bathroom only - washing up only - all other cleaning) that my care staff use and the waterproof shoe/leg covers for when my care staff shower me and the re-usable gloves they use when showering me |
| 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. | My sister bought plastic translucent stackable shoe box front sliding drawers which she used for her and her husband’s shoes she had some spare and gave them to me which I used in my craft room to store some of my craft supplies these are brilliant as you can see what’s in them and they stack but you pull the drawer out so you don’t have to remove upper boxes to get into the lower boxes (my sister’s husband died last year and had more of these spare as no longer needed them after she sorted his shoes so I’m swapping out more cardboard boxes in my craft room for these and when I’m done sorting my craft room I may buy more of these as they are brilliant |
| 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 use cardboard boxes from products and cardboard boxes from deliveries to store/organise my stuff I’ll cut boxes down to fit the size I need if it has to fit a certain space or size of item - I also put multiple smaller boxes into larger boxes to keep the contents neat and organised - my care staff cut down a very large box to make ‘drawers’ to put on one of my shelves in my upstairs kitchenette the shelving is very deep (kitchen counter-ish deep) so these ‘drawers’ go from front to back but are only just over 1 jar size wide so each drawer contains specific jars (e.g. jams/marmalades - chutneys - pickles - marmite/peanut butter/honey - instant gravy/sauce granules etc) this makes it easy for me to get to items behind the front ones without having to move everything in front of it and finding places to put them whilst I get to the item I want and then have to put them all back again so it saves me a lot of energy and a lot less time struggling to stand (I’m disabled) I used empty plastic square cracker(for cheese) selection boxes are used to store/organise my medications and just fit nicely in the narrow cupboard (old kitchen wall cupboard bought some screw on legs for it and now stands) in my bedroom my care staff have to fill my dosette boxes weekly to so storing my medications in there is very convenient for them |
