PronounsShe/her
Which of the following statements describe the help you’ve received in managing your organizing projects? (Check all that apply or have applied in the past.)
  • I have been solely responsible for decluttering and/or organizing my home.
  • Other
If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate:I had the so-called ”accountability partner” who's my cousin. We don't have specific terms, but we generally share about our journey any time one of us makes some progress. I actually introduced him to the sole idea of decluttering.
Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.)
  • Specialty retail store (The Container Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ikea, etc.)
Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it.a very small shelving piece of furniture... look slike a flower/bedside/coffee table. Also, my decoupage boxes.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?my floor/chairdrobe. My WIP craft projects. My dolly boxes (they're huge, dolls are at times even 2ft tall and keeping boxes is necessary for the sake of future reselling).
What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff.I like those round plastic boxes you get from flat, dry gingerbreads for fabric scraps I later use for my patchwork. The fabric is close to rubbish, so I wouldn't spend money on additional boxes. But plastic bags aren't as cool. Plus, the boxes forexer keep a pleasant smell (not all food boxes keep a pleasant smell lol).
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode.I'm moving overseas in several months (yay!), but I'm not a "whole family", but just one girl who's just graduated, so I'm what you call a typical graduate student situation. What's your advice for such small, "one person" moving? I'm moving because I want to earn significantly more money, so I won't take my "whole life", because I know that soon I'll start to earn enough to rebuy some items. However, some I need to take, especially since I'm going there to earn, not spend (I'm not this type of a person who'll go crazy with "wow look at all the stuff and brands I can now afford". I know myself, plus even where I live I'm privileged financially...). Maybe other viewers have also similar experiences? What's not worth moving, what's worth remembering? Thanks! 🙂
Future topics
