  • 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?

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.
