Survey #247—Full Response from Katharine
| Please select the statement that BEST describes your paper backlog. | I have a backlog of paper for sorting and filing that’s starting to become a problem. |
|---|---|
| Please select the statement that BEST describes your ongoing relationship with incoming paper. | I sort and manage incoming mail and other papers occasionally. |
| Describe the types or categories of paper clutter that you find the most challenging to sort, purge, and organize. | Info that needs to be read. Lists that need my attention. Receipts that I hold long enough to check accounts and I think about shredding but procrastinate to do either. |
| 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 ___.” | After running errands, I throw receipts in a bin so I can find them later. My lists collect in the bin as well. Sometimes during the week I’ll go through them & shred. Often, everything else ends up in the same bin. I stuck to a specific day/time to go through the bin. Mail is dealt with daily. I feel discouraged & disorganized & don’t want people to see my piles in my bins. It seems when I finally get everything sorted & filled, I get behind again. I used to go through piles when I woke up super early. It was easier to throw out stuff if I waited long enough for items to expire. I always took care of my son’s school stuff on time. For myself, it’s difficult making decisions. |
