You color code your m&m’s before eating them.
You catch yourself in straightening up candy at the grocery store check-out line.
You fold and line up your socks and underwear in your drawer.
You label all your shelves, drawers, and boxes.
You love Tupperware, Sharpies and Post-its.
The staff at The Container Store know you by name.
You find yourself rearranging items on the coffee table at friends homes.

- Tanna November 21 2008 @ 11:28 amThis is so funny but so true. However we, don’t have a Container Store. I went to one in Ohio and I thought I was walking right through the gates of heaven!I color code the m&m’s and have to eat all of one color before moving to the next!
- Jim Deitzel December 5 2008 @ 2:45 pmWell, I love Rubbermaid, Sharpie and Post-It’s. Does that count
- Allison Carter December 6 2008 @ 6:58 amIt totally counts. Thanks for adding your own!
- Lois Pongo December 9 2008 @ 2:23 pmOh my goodness-I have found my way Home. All my life I have called it “making tidy,” and I reveled in doing it. Give me your cluttered basement/linen closet/spice cabinet/attic/etcetc and I am in Seventh Heaven! (Scored 22 on your test)
My focus right now though is more focused: I love to organize paperwork for folks, would like to ready people for a trip to the accountant/mtg broker/financial planner. Is there a market for this niche work?
Thanks for any advice/info! Lois - Allison Carter December 9 2008 @ 3:20 pmAbsolutely there is a market. The field of financial organizing is growing larger every day as people struggle to deal with all the paper. You can also specialize in home offices in general.
