Select the categories of clutter that you find most difficult to work on. (Since we discovered the technical issue preventing some users from answering the previous question, we’re also offering this simpler format.)
  • Clothing (including shoes)
  • Collections (beanie babies, shot glasses, etc.)
  • Family heirlooms or other inherited items
  • Materials related to unfinished projects
  • Supplies and tools for a hobby, art, or craft
For the category of stuff you find hardest to declutter or organize, please tell us about how or why this type of stuff trips you up.I’m an artist who doesn’t have my space in order to do my projects. My house is large enough that space shouldn’t be an issue. My friend has worked to get studio space set up, but then she was sidetracked with other paid work. I’ve not done much since. I seem to work best in sticking with it when she’s here working ( guess I need the buddy system). I still have too much stuff like aspirational clutter ( seeing the potential in random stuff that can be used in art). I have more materials than I’ll ever be able to use, but my intention is for the art studio to be a place for friends to come play too.
I’m retired, so I can’t say employment impedes this process. I do have an autoimmune disease (Addison’s Disease/Adrenal Insufficiency) that limits my energy level significantly.
I feel depressed at times because it feels like I’m never going to get to the place I need to be to enjoy what time in my home and life I have left.
I also have three rooms that are so filled with stuff that I can’t use the space. They’re storage space for things, rather than rooms for me to enjoy. This feels yucky and I’ve gotten so used to the clutter that it’s just become background noise.
