Survey #180 Response from Anonymous user

← Go back

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)
  • Financial paperwork
  • Food (fresh or stored)
  • Reading material (books, magazines, etc.)
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 equipment (power wheelchair, collators, hospital bed, canes), health items (lots of prescription medications, personal health items). It takes a lot of planning and upkeep to
keep pathways clear and yet keep frequently needed items within hands reach. God forbid
something falls to floor and I don't have a "grabber or reacher" within reach. I need to hire
someone to help me declutter and then someone to clean my home on a regular basis. One thing at a time....limited energy.
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.Mobility issues, poor health, incredible fatigue, physical and mental health issues, lack of
stamina, lack of more than a couple of good hours in a 2 or 3 week period. Overwhelmed.
What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering?The clutter fairy weekly! I have it playing on the desktop and I will start sorting
and decluttering my computer desk. It's a relaxing hour.
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 is the book coming along?
How to declutter, organize, etc when it's so dang hot outside (and I am inside with the
Air Conditioning). Taking stuff to the garage to donate when it's summer in Florida. Nah, I will
wait. I have waited this long, it can wait some more.
