| What are your most compelling reasons to reduce clutter and/or to get organized? These may include your personal goals, work objectives, plans, fears, physical limitations, lifestyle choices, family history, etc. | It makes me feel calmer, happier, less anxious. It makes doing things in the house possible or work better. I feel better about having guests over. I'm really clumsy and have chronic illnesses so less to trip over is great. I just enjoy it too. Some of my spaces do multiple duty so I have to have one activity or use away to access the others. I think there's also a lot of fear of judgement about how the house looks passed down from my mom and her mom. |
| What external factors drive or support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative signals from outside yourself that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: pressure from your spouse, stuff inherited from elder family members, a need to work from home, etc.) | Mostly when guests will be over hahaha. And podcasts and groups like this and others. |
| What internal factors support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative thoughts or feelings that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: the urge to start a new hobby, feelings of guilt or shame, a desire to share your surplus with people who need it, etc.) | I just *like* my house being nice. Too much clutter is overwhelming and anxiety producing as well. I find projects really helpful for my mental health as well. I always need to be working on something. And I enjoy the sort of puzzle solving aspect of figuring out a space and how to put it all together and make it work well. And I don't want it to be disgusting when people come over. |
| What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)? | My house will function better with less work on my part - be easier to upkeep. |
