Survey #178 Response from Becky

← Go back

August 12, 2023

PronounsShe/her
Name the collections or categories of stuff in your home that are typically most likely to become cluttered.“Junk drawer” I declutter it on a regular basis and within weeks it doesn’t look like I touched it. It is things like tape, stamps, batteries, etc. the things you only need once in a while.
Complete the following statement: “My clutter started to become a problem when _____.”Inherited mom’s stuff. Was very good saying no to things, but not the pictures. Been working on them for years. Bless her heart she took lots and then got 2 copies of everyone. Nothing organized just boxes and drawers of them.
Describe a habit or routine behavior that you would like to cultivate—or eliminate—to help you or other members of your household get a better handle on household clutter.Stick to a shopping list. I do great at grocery store, but Target is a different story. I have been trying to limit trips, but who can go and just get a tube of toothpaste - lol
Name one or more of your favorite Clutter Fairy-isms (e.g., “thin the herd”) or decluttering and organizing mnemonic devices (e.g., OHIO—Only Handle It Once).I don’t know what it is called, but handling the mail everyday as soon as I get 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).I have cleaned out so much. How do I prevent from filling areas up again? For example junk drawer.
Future topics

Just want to tell you guys the best advice you have given that has really helped.
1. Taking small steps. Like one bin in the garage a Saturday. This really helped my marriage as my husband likes to hold onto things “just in case”. We did just one tub and then done. We have come a long way baby in the garage and it hasn’t been stressful for either of us.
2. Tackling the linen closest. Such a quick win!! It gave me hope that I could get the rest of the house done.
