How Organized is Your Home?
Take this quiz to assess your need to get organized at home.
How do you feel when family and friends come to visit you?
· Pretty good. I’m happy to have guests in any part of my home.
· In order for them to sit down, I sometimes have to clear a chair of clutter.
· I visit other people at their homes rather than let them see my mess.
Where would you find stamps if i asked you find them?
· In my bill paying center, where I keep the checkbook, bills, envelopes, etc.
· I know I bought some a few weeks ago…now where did I put them?
· I have to run to the post office or gas station each time I need a stamp.
How do you feel about the amount of “stuff” you own?
· I feel content. I get rid of anything that merely takes up time, space, money or energy without giving any benefit to me or my family.
· I know I have clutter I don’t need or want and it sometimes makes me feel disorganized.
· I have so much “stuff” that I can’t find what I need when I need it. Help!
How long does it take you to find your keys?
· I know right where they are . They go in the same place every day.
· I throw them down as I come in the door and they get lost in a mound of clutter.
· One day I spent an hour looking for my keys.
How do you handle paying bills?
· I have a set spot for bills and I pay them twice a month.
· I usually make a few trips around the house to locate stamps, bills, checkbook, etc.
· I usually pay them when I receive the second or third “past due” notice.
Have you spent some time on yourself today?
· Yes. I got up early, did some yoga, enjoyed a cup of tea or read the paper.
· Not yet. But, maybe I’ll catch five minutes this evening to watch some television.
· You must be joking! After I attend to everyone else in my family, I’m going to bed.
How many outfits in your closet do you wear regularly?
· I wear most of what’s in my closet. If I haven’t worn it in a year, I give it away.
· I have a lot of clothes that don’t fit, or are out of style. The closet is packed full!
· I never use the closet. My clothes are in piles around the bedroom.
How do you feel at the end of the day?
· Satisfied. I accomplished many things in an efficient manner.
· I wasn’t as productive as I wanted. I hope I can catch up tomorrow.
· What a waste of a day! Will I ever feel in control of my life again?
Ok…no cheating! Be honest with yourself. Start the New Year off the right way.
