| Describe an item or collection that you’re rationally prepared to release, but something always seems to keep you from making the final decision to let it go. | My husband and my golf clubs. We aren't really into golf, but enjoyed going to the driving range to hit the balls once and a while. We didn't have much money but somehow scrapped together enough to by each of us a used set. Since then my husband has developed issues with his back (compresses disks) and there is no way he can go to the driving range anymore without being in pain for the rest of the week. Somehow I just can't let these go. I could go to the driving range by myself but it just doesn't appeal to me if he isn't there. I even have a decent salary now and can purchase a set if I decide to get back into it. I think that knowing how hard it was for us to get them keeps me from letting them go. |
| How do you feel when you think about letting go of the item you described in your answer to the previous question? | I feel like I would regret it. I'm also sad that we can't enjoy this activity anymore together. |
| Complete the following statement: “I know I won’t keep this item forever, so I would like ___.” | I know I won’t keep this item forever, so I would like to let it go to anyone who can get good use out of it |
| Fill in the blank: “Watching and listening to The Clutter Fairy Weekly makes me want to try ___.” | Watching and listening to The Clutter Fairy Weekly makes me want to try living with less |
| 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). | I like when she talks about getting the low hanging fruit. When going through papers to grab the garbage like flyers and magazines first |
| 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). | Do you have any tips for organizing multi-use spaces? for instance a desk that you use for bills/papers but also crafts. Or a room that is a den but also a guest room. |
| Future topics | paper. What to keep and what to toss. |
