Survey #180 Response from Elizabeth

← Go back

August 26, 2023

PronounsShe/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.)
  • Family heirlooms or other inherited items
  • High-value items (silverware, china, etc.)
  • Items associated with a person/relationship
  • Personal papers (letters, cards, etc.)
  • Photographs (printed or digital)
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.Sentimental items in a guest bedroom closet that are difficult - my wedding dress, hand made dresses and a coat from my childhood, and my mother's fur, and some toys from childhood such as a doll bed and doll house. Also, some furniture from my parent's home. I get stalled trying to figure out where to donate these items. For example, after spending considerable time researching and trying to contact a lady who I read would take my wedding gown and use it to create gowns for deceased infants, I discovered she's no longer in the area. I take comfort in donating sentimental items to places where I feel they will truly be used and appreciated. Also wrestling with spending money to get the items ready to donate or consign. For example, do I pay to have the fur cleaned? Should I repair antique furniture before donating?
What’s your favorite thing to listen to while decluttering?I enjoy the quiet but sometimes will listen to a podcast especially when going through items that are easy to declutter.
