| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Please select the statement that BEST describes your paper backlog. | I have a massive backlog of paper sorting and filing, and I can’t see any end in sight. |
| Please select the statement that BEST describes your ongoing relationship with incoming paper. | I tend to let mail and other papers pile up, then deal with them in one Herculean effort. |
| Describe the types or categories of paper clutter that you find the most challenging to sort, purge, and organize. | Anything sentimental, cards, items that have info I am afraid I will need |
| Please complete one or more of the following statements: “I struggle with paper clutter because ___.” “I would have an easier time managing paper if only ___.” “The accumulation of paper in my home makes me feel ___.” | 1. I procrastinate 2. I had a better system in place and made myself do it 3. Out of control |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | 1. What is the best way to get motivated? 2. I have had 3 close family members die in 4 years. I have been, and still am, solely responsible for things (paper and other things) they have left behind. I become emotional/sad/depressed when looking through their collection of photos and cards. I have always heard it is okay to get rid of papers that are more than 7 years old. (ie bank statements, bill statements, etc) Is that true? |
