Survey #180 Response from Sandy
| Pronouns | this stuff confuses me. I'm a woman named Sandy |
|---|---|
| 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. | Toiletries and medications |
| 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 actually started this week to get rid of usable items by rehoming them. And it worked for a while and then I looked at the top shelf of the bathroom closet and that was it. It was like a switch turned off and I was done. I discussed this with a friend and came up with this. After cleaning out under the bathroom sink, going through some lower shelves (apparently getting the low hanging fruit) when I looked up I was overwhelmed - it was instant shutdown - as if I'd been totally saturated with the effort and progress and then brick wall! How can I get past this and keep the momentum going? I was doing so well. I even bundled up two big bags of candles to donate - most were from Wicks n Sticks. How long have they been Gone....... |
| What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering? | music, but y'all voices are in the background too helping me make decisions and actual action on things! |
| 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). | it's still useful but you're not using it so let someone else get the usefulness out of it. |
| 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). | I've really been giving away and donating a lot of things over the last month or so. but on the surface my house isn't looking any different. yes I have more to go but I didn't have pathway/pile high stuff to begin with. I'm working on drawers and book shelves, closets, mostly stuff that is out of sight. When will I feel I'm actually making true progress. |
| Future topics | I hate taking pills. but yet from time to time if I hear about a supplement that may be good for me or something I should be taking for bone density, etc. I'll buy it, take for a little while and stop. How do I not buy what I know I won't take regularly. |
