| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Name the hobby, craft, art form, or other recreational activity that contributes the most stuff to your living space, including raw materials, tools, equipment, other supplies, reference materials, specialized furniture, etc. | Painting, basket making, collage work |
| Reflecting on your answer to the previous question, describe the part of the activity that contributes most to the clutter in your home. Your answer may be based on volume, size, complexity, or any other factor that makes it difficult to store and manage the stuff for your activity. | I have more than 150 unsold paintings stored in a small bedroom. |
| Reflecting on your answer to the first question, describe how the cluttered state of stuff related to this activity negatively impacts your ability to carry out or enjoy the activity. | I have stopped painting. No more room. |
| About how much time do you spend on the activity in question in an average week? | I have switched to drawings, painting small watercolours, clay work, knitting and writing. Being newly retired, I spend 35 to 40 hours a week on these activities. |
| What is the hobby, craft, art form, or other recreational activity that you think EVERYONE should try? | The one they feel like doing. |
| 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). | Avoid the Tetris game. |
| Future topics | Emotional blockages and how to remove them. For example, I was going to throw away a few not so good paintings made on paper. They are not good enough to give away or keep to sell. I was all ready. I put them on a desk besides the door. But when came the time to actually go put them in the stinky garbage container I just couldn't imagine my paintings soaking with other gross stuff. I might try to put them in a black garbage bag so I don't see them when I put them in the bin. But I don't have this type of garbage bag on hand, I don't want to purchase them for that. Still debating while these paintings are still in my studio. Help! |
