PronounsShe/her
Name up to three clutter problem areas in your home. These may be physical spaces, categories of stuff, or collections of items that you usually or chronically find difficult to get clear—or keep clear—of clutter.Counter in the bathroom and bathroom closet
Kitchen counters
Kitchen - storage for pots/plans/mixing bowls/food storage containers.
For any of the problem areas you identified in your answer to the previous question, list factors that contribute to your difficulty decluttering in these areas.Kitchen counters - more of a maintenance issue, keeping on top of it
Kitchen storage - I've already gotten rid of the obvious ones, now getting ot the more difficult ones. Also, I have to get down on (and up from!) the floor. They are deep, might need some internal structures to make best use of the space. But I think reducing anything I can would be the first step.
Bathroom -I use some things every day, but not really space for them on the counter especially for some larger items (ex. 16 ox contact lense solutions),
Name up to three clutter “sweet spots” in your home. These may be physical spaces, categories of stuff, or collections of items that you usually find relatively easy to keep decluttered and organized.Sink/dirty dish area. Things collect, but I stay on top of it. Either after dinner or while coffee being made in the morning.
Counter tops - I also mentioned this as a difficult area - it's both. Things collect there and I stay on top of it
Car - things had really piled up in there, but working to stay on top of it now
For any of the “sweet spots” you identified in your answer to the previous question, list factors that contribute to your ease in (or even enjoyment of) maintaining these areas.Sink/dishes area, Kitchen counters - I clean up regularly, especially either at night or first thing in AM to gather anything that didn't get handled previously
What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of?Crafting supplies in two categories - polymer clay related and beading related. I give myself a break in these areas, but am pretty fierce about not taking on any new hobbies that require new genre of supplies.
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).Nothing right now. I think one of the biggest challenges is feeling that something may have some monetary value and if it's a good idea to just give it away or donate it. But I think you've covered that quite a bit in the past.
