| 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. |  We’re fairly organized. I’ve been on a mission to identify and get rid of excess. Personal Goals: We have a vision of having only those things we want and need. Less inventory to maintain and clean around. So much stuff came into the house over the years - with little going out. I’ve decluttered for years now. Still more to go.Fear? PRE-Planning? We’re 65+ now. We built & have lived 40 years in a home that’s not senior friendly. (Stairs) We have no plans to move. But, in the event we have to move one day - I hope to have reduced our inventory. |
| 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.) | Peer pressure! It’s all the rage!  I’ve always been organized. I haven’t always decluttered. The idea of getting rid of stuff hit a chord with me. We had lots more “still good” stuff than we’d ever need or use. It makes sense to get rid of it so we have less to manage. |
| 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.) | We’re working toward a vision. A vision of having “enough”. Just enough. We are working toward simplifying our lives. Making it easier to find and use what we need. Easier to maintain and clean it. Bringing calmness with less clutter noise. |
| What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)? | The most exciting way will be the calm and peace of having just enough. |
