Survey #180 Response from Deb
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| 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.) |
|
| If the category of stuff you find most difficult to work with wasn’t included in the list for the previous question, please describe it here. | The piles hardest to shift are the multi-category piles that have been there so long that ignoring them rather than dealing with them seems easiest. |
| What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering? | For easy decluttering, I listen to the Clutter Fairy podcast. The harder jobs distract from the podcast. |
| 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). | "Circle back" - I like this one because often you can't do it all at once. It makes it okay to do things incrementally in a couple of passes. |
| 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). | Do you have any Clutter Fairy graduates who have made it to the end of clutter clearing and are now just maintaining things? |
| Future topics | I'd love a program that invites us to pause the video while we go and do a small and simple but effective task (2 minutes worth?) then come back and continue. Several action pauses would be good. Something like go to your [room name] right now and grab things you see that don't belong there and put them where they go, then come back. Or whatever other small tasks that will make a visual difference. Sometimes just getting started helps, doing something, getting into action. |
