Survey #247—Full Response from JM
| 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 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. | Notes I've taken for memory jogs, tracking whatever I'm working on or am interested in at the moment, writing and teaching ideas, books I'm reading, research I'm doing for a myriad of home and work projects, complicated to do lists and misc pieces of paper associated with things I need/want to think about do, or keep track of. |
| 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 ___.” | I would have an easier time managing paper if only I had a reliable memory. |
| 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. | I'm curious about Ed's writing process. How do you keep track of, organize, and manage your scripts, writing ideas, drafts, research, projects in process, and completed projects? |
| Future topics | I really loved this week's episode on decluttering and organizing for entertaining. Any topic that includes how to live your life while decluttering the overwhelm is helpful and inspiring. I especially appreciate concrete how-to's instead of vague calls to "balance" that are ubiquitous in self-help media. (If I understood how to achieve life balance, I wouldn't be seeking their advice! Looking forward to more room by room episodes (and please remember the garden and outdoor entertaining with that.) |
