Survey #174 Response from Kathy

← Go back

Which member(s) of your household support or contribute to your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My husband keeps the home office and his workshop organized.”)My husband teases me in my decluttering journey, for example as I pull the books out yet again to purge. But he does encourage me as I let things go and keeps the areas that have been decluttered organized.
Which member(s) of your household frustrate, foil, interrupt, or otherwise complicate your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”)Two of my grown children have some of their things in my basement, temporarily. All will be removed by March. Their stuff has made working in the basement more difficult. But, it’s for good reasons and an end is near. I work around it as best I can.
Describe an item about which you have a strong disagreement with someone else in your household over whether or not it deserves a place in your home. (For example, “My mother’s 30 years of TV Guide magazines.”)My husband’s paperwork and textbooks from college. He graduated a bit later in life, in 2000. He knows he should let them go but struggles. I think they need to go.
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 suggestions but many thanks to you both for your encouraging, insightful and informative podcasts!
