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.)
  • Food (fresh or stored)
  • Items associated with a career/job
  • Supplies and tools for a hobby, art, or craft
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.medication that *may* come in handy, e.g. non-expired painkillers, sore throat pills, etc. healthy supplements... I just have more than I can use up before they expire and I HAD to throw out some recently... So... money wasted.
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.My craft supplies. I use up LESS than I acquire. And I acquire it in all different sorts of ways: eg. some people give theirs to me for free, i get some HUGE discounts (I buy little fabric or ribbons, because I sew for dolls, and such fabric leftovers is what often gets sold at next to nothing at various local haberdasheries, because otherwise they'd just throw it out). Also, people who know me lovingly offer to give me some fabric, etc. And the stuff is GOOD, let me tell you! All these craft supplies are really a deal and I have no heart to reject them. (I have shared a lot with others on buy-nothing groups or among friends before, but I refuse to just give away the awesome stuff) So, despite promising myself not to give in, I do give in.
What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering?Gayle and Ed, you're my fav clutter-related content and I LOVE YOU. I love crafting along your videos, because it doesn't require of me to look at it continuously. And it helps me to motivate myself to use up my craft supplies. So, any time I'm crafting and have some fabric scraps during the process, I feel more motivated to throw them out rather than keep them... just in case I find some use for it. Aside from that, Zeducation (it's a meme-related youtube channel) or some 80s music, or some psychology-related podcasts.
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).how do other crafters decide to thin their collection of supplies, when everything is still good and usable and not "beginner level"?
