March 25, 2023

Pronounsy'all (she will do just fine)
Briefly describe the category or collection of items.Books
Which of these statements best describes your strategy or approach for keeping the category of stuff you described above under control?I switched to ebooks except for a few very special books, and those are one in, at least one out.
Describe any issues you experience with using, storing, displaying, cleaning, maintaining, or organizing the category or collection you described above.They don't really give me trouble. I built bookcases and they define how many books I'm allowed.
Does you home have a “command center”—a spot where you spend a significant amount of time in a variety of activities (e.g., watching TV, reading, doing paperwork, eating meals or snacks, etc.)?Sort of, temporarily, be God willing.
Where is your command center?My bed, right now.
If you sit in your command center and look around you, which of the following items are within close reach?
  • Books in progress
  • Remote controls
  • Electronic devices or accessories
  • Medications
  • Personal-care supplies
How well does your command center fulfill the functions for which you use it?

It's far from perfect. It's pretty functional, but I'm constantly reorganizing it and simultaneously reorganizing the front room so I can sit with my leg elevated and work.

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 left a lot of those questions unanswered because I really wanted to say "what an interesting idea!" I vote for incremental changes; if change were easy, we wouldn't have clutter.
Future topics

I'll think on it! I'm sure topics will suggest themselves.
