When I tell people I’m an introvert they so often say “but you’re not at all shy!” And I’m not. I read such a good thing ages ago that explained that it’s not about being shy or confident in company, it’s whether you feel drained or energised afterwards. I love seeing and chatting with my friends, but afterwards I’m completely exhausted. Extroverts feel full of energy after a big gathering.

You made our local news last night. Chanel 13 in Indianapolis. They were talking about cleaning and decluttering and showed some film of you.

Here’s my system. When we moved to Japan a year after the tsunami we had to have our paperwork together “in case of evacuation”. I created a 3 ring emergency binder with all long term paperwork. It is tabbed with wills, birth certificates, social sec cards, passports title etc. and it lives in a fire/waterproof safe. When we
Moved that binder came with us on the plane. Last year we grabbed it when we had tornado warnings and had to take cover in another location. Can’t recommend that enough. And for us all of the short term stuff hangs out in a magazine holder and every payday I go through it, pay bills and dig through the todos.

Introvert ! Now there's no social obligation to go out - I'm obligation free!! And yep, I have to take Vit. D too. LOL

I totally relate to you, Cass. My life has not changed at all since the lockdown except now I don't have to feel guilty for not wanting to get together with people - "sorry, we can't get together because of covid" (secretly fine with it all). Zero guilt.

I’m such a homebody and I love not having the outside the home commitments anymore! LOL!!!

I watched Dawn and Natalie Bennett's videos yesterday. I went through my files and purged 1.5 feet of garbage; 8 inches to shred; and 4 inches to giveaway (greeting cards and embellishments.) I feel more free and hopeful. Thanks for inspiring me to set up a new system for my paper clutter!

Like you, lockdown hasn't changed my life. I am super duper introverted and I am not outdoorsy. My UPS guy is Nick.

Also introvert here, nothing has changed since before Covid...Thoug, the thougt of not being able to go somewhere makes me obstinate. Then I just go with the flow at home..and try to keep some sort of schedule to feel like I have done something worthwhile. I'm still keeping everyone here alive, thats at least that!!

Introverts are thoughtful people and when we do share - it is listened to. Introverts for the win!

I skip the filing system and handle everything on a daily basis, which takes a minute or 2, got off all the catalog and CC offer lists, which greatly reduced junk mail....also paperless on all bills and auto pay turned on, aways on time, never late, no need to write checks and use stamps. Love these paper clutter videos!

[dianeibsen]

Love that! "Guess how much my life is going to change?"..not at all! I'm so glad you said that, because I am the same!😊 💞

[Melissa-dlff]

I am an introvert and I am ok being in my home. Hope you have a great day and thanks for all the great tips.

[deniseewing]

Introverts unite! Love being home, but am ready for some alone time too! Too much togetherness is not my friend, even with my family! ;)

[Verynice]

Haha that’s exactly me an introvert that I forget about the pandemic going on. But are now feeling even more inspired to organize my home

[shelleyjackson]

Sometimes when you talk I feel like the words are coming out of my mouth because we are so much alike in many areas. Love your channel!

I got rid of most of my paper clutter as I went electronic with almost everything and only need to print when needed. I got a vertical folder to hang on the wall to easier easily find coupons/receipts/etc. I made a household management binder too!

[jeanwestackroyd]

Ok, you got me. Thanks from a million bits of paper, great time to sort !

[helenascribe]

I haven't thought of creating a reference pile, but that solves a lot of problems😊

[laurenwilliams]

Introvert here too, I must say the silver lining of lockdown has been all these goods and services you can receive without even getting out of your car! 😂😂
