| 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. | Old computer parts, which belong to husband. Very hard to manage and get him to thin the herd. Tools, which also belong to husband. He keeps saying yes we'll do that but there is always a higher priority (in his opinion). |
| 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. | 1. Craft stuff -- still in the mode of "I might use/do that", although I probably won't. These things represent possibilities to me. 2. Food and sundries -- both are in the "I don't want to run out" category for me. Keeping two of everything (one of which is in reserve) takes a lot of space! I have some "backup" stuff I will probably never use. I've been thinning the herd slowly but it's still an issue. 3. I have newspaper articles about my dad that his mother saved that I am having a hard time going through. I'm sure they all felt important to her. I'm afraid to even look. One article I found about my mom had stuff about WW II on the back, from that time. I scanned it but can't seem to let go. 4. I have a lot of photographs and family history paperwork. Feels like an overwhelming task to scan or photograph all of them. Not sure I need to. But it sits. 5. Husband's old computer parts and tools. Won't do without his cooperation, as it should be. He has a hard time letting go of stuff. |
| What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering? | All of the above at one time or another. Depends on how easy the task is. |
