- You Own Lots of Duplicates or Products With Tags
I have very few, if no duplicates of things I don't use.
- You Don't Have Any Free Surfaces
Well, okay. That's kind of true.
- You Don't Look Forward to Returning Home
Not true.
I find that duplicates and tags, tend to be more for those who are shopaholics to be honest. Typically women (and since I am a woman I CAN say that lol). This is because women are more likely to do a lot of shopping for that perfect clothing item but then be tired when they get home, put it aside and then forget about it. Sometimes if they put it aside for too long they forget they bought it and see it again and like it and buy another. Other times they remember they bought it but the right event to wear the item to does not come up so they forget they did not take the tag off it and never wear it. Sometimes they even outgrow it and can't even get into it and become depressed about it. I am not saying this is me but what is typical for women. Probably typical for gay males as well but I would not know.
The no free surfaces I think depends more on a few factors: Size of space, space of living with amount of surface space for stuff, and where you spend most of your time with an flat surface where you access that stuff the most. The stuff will mostly accumulate in the area you spend the most time at but depending on if you do the in/out method won't build up. Other surface areas may be used as storage instead and stay cluttered for the reason of nowhere to put it. I know my mom has a problem with paper clutter. She prints out a lot of stuff but refuses to get a filing cabinet as she lives in a small space and does not know where she would put one. So she has stacks of paper on her table and coffee table. She does keep the end tables clear though. So for her it seems to be areas she spends the most time at. Her desk is full of papers but in neat stacks so she has some sort of organization.
When it comes to not wanting to go back home and enjoying time somewhere else, that is more typical of people who feel their homes have gotten out of control and have somewhere else they like to go that they do feel equally at home in. I think for us, we all feel most comfortable in our own homes so it does not apply. But for those who have a family member, they like to visit all the time and then don't look forward to going home, or go out drinking and partying and don't look forward to going home, that would be true for them. I know I look forward to going home. I am free in my own home. I rest in my own home. I have control over my own space in my own home.
