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.)
  • Collections (beanie babies, shot glasses, etc.)
  • Family heirlooms or other inherited items
  • Financial paperwork
  • Items associated with a career/job
  • Items associated with a person/relationship
  • Materials related to unfinished projects
  • Mementoes and souvenirs
  • Personal papers (letters, cards, etc.)
  • Photographs (printed or digital)
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.Emotional. I have a lot of stuffed toys,...even when I can decide to get rid of one..there is nowhere for it to go except the bin. There would be health and safety issues passing them on or to charity shops in the UK. Too hard to put Skippy in the bin🙁
What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering?Podcast or music
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).Thin the herd
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).My big stumbling block is where to get rid of stuff. Our local tip has shortened it's hours. Charity shops and textile bins usually say good quality only. Sometimes I might have a lovely dress with a rip in it so can no longer wear...and I do not like sewing.
Future topics

Career/ and history notes paperwork
I've done training in a few different careers and courses. I worked so hard on some of the projects ....it's tough to let go...even though I won't / haven't pursued these things. Who I could have been.
Also I always having magazine cuttings of interesting facts that I in my head think other people will be interested or benefit from.
