| What are your most compelling reasons to reduce clutter and/or to get organized? These may include your personal goals, work objectives, plans, fears, physical limitations, lifestyle choices, family history, etc. | To achieve more mental calm and to give my every day life more structure. Less forgetting and losing things, less. decision fatigue etc… extremely important for my PTSD brain! |
| What external factors drive or support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative signals from outside yourself that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: pressure from your spouse, stuff inherited from elder family members, a need to work from home, etc.) | I moved from a 40sqf room to a much larger place and am trying to include all the things I had in storage. Also I recently started working from home, including video calls, so I need room for a desk and a large monitor. |
| What internal factors support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative thoughts or feelings that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: the urge to start a new hobby, feelings of guilt or shame, a desire to share your surplus with people who need it, etc.) | The possibility of people coming into my home. Plumbers, friends, anyone. I feel extremely ashamed if my home is not perfectly organised and clean. Even then it’s emotionally draining. I also want to start sewing again, but my supplies are so unorganised and I don’t have the room because of all the clutter around. |
| What is the most exciting way in which your life will be different when you achieve your organizing goal(s)? | I won’t feel as guilty anymore, it will be easier to clean, I won’t forget and lose so many things, I’ll have time and space for crafting and sewing. And I won’t have a hard attack every time someone comes into my home. |
| 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. | No question, just a big thank you for everything you do! 😘 |
