| 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. | medical records |
| 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. | Depression. and anxiety..when I even think about finances. So the financial paperwork puts this problem literally in my face on a piece of paper. |
| What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering? | a comedy movie. to lift my spirits |
| 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). | floors first, turn off the firehose (of bringing/buying more stuff) |
| 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). | For Ed...if you only had space to keep a few novels, which ones would they be? For Gayle, Your beading craft sounds fascinating. Beads would last a lot longer, be sturdier, than paper crafting or even sewing. Why do you like beading? |
| Future topics | Home decor vs clutter. So much home decor buying seems to turn into clutter very fast. Seasonal decorations, changing styles requires a lot of storage and money. Ed told one story that I loved, about how when he grew up, they did not buy "decor", but instead his mother made/baked food for that holiday. That is how I grew up too. A bowl of read red apples on the counter, and a real pumpkin is enough to decorate for autumn. I think buying tons of holiday decor is NOT about celebrating the holidays...but it is only about celebrating an addiction to SHOPPING. |
