| Describe the types or categories of paper clutter that you find the most challenging to sort, purge, and organize. | Interesting news articles. Old course materials…as they fall into lots of categories mentally. Some are sentimental, some are actual interesting pieces of information, some have good references. |
| 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 ___.” | It feels part of my identity (old certificates, photos in newspapers of people I knew or know) I was less sentimental and felt less need for accumulating information.(I have studied many things so feel the need to retain this information. ) Overwelmed |
| 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. | Paper and books are my nemesis. I love reading everything and anything (except on my kindle) Actually the kindle is great for magazines but I still don’t like books on it. Especially as I it can be awkward when I lie down and the page turns around. I keep all my tickets from shows I go to see and the flyers. I get nostalgic looking back at the prices and who I’ve seen.’ I really don’t know why all this past information etc is so important to me. I don’t know if anyone can relate to this? |
| Future topics | This topic is my main area of difficulty. |
