| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| 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. | I have realized that all the cr*p in my house is really dragging me down. I have too much stuff and have too much stuff that doesn't have a home. |
| 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.) | I have been storing stuff for my mother since she moved from a house to small apartment and can't get her to agree to let it go and haven't been brave enough to just get rid of it myself. It's been 10 years and she hasn't needed it. |
| 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 have a lot of guilt that I haven't de- junked and organized already. But I also have a huge amount of inertia and getting started feels overwhelming. Sometimes I make myself do just one thing and can make myself do just one thing, but I haven't been able to push myself into really getting the project moving. |
| What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)? | I think it will be a big weight off my shoulders. And a lot less frustration finding things if everything has its own place. I spend too much time churning stuff because things don't have a home. |
