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.

WHAT DOES YOUR GARAGE LOOK LIKE?

	It's an organized space that serves its purpose well.
	My car fits, but everything else is a mess.
	I don't even know what's in there. It would be a dream to fit my car inside.

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!

WHAT IS IN YOUR PURSE?

	Wallet, lipstick, comb and keys.
	All of the above, plus old receipts, crumpled tissues, ticket stubs, and cracker crumbs.
	All of the above, plus more. It weights about ten pounds!

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 — hope I can catch up tomorrow.
	What a waste of a day — will I ever feel in control of my life again?
