| 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. | Lately, everything…. But Paper, #1, dishes #2 (dishwasher is broken), and laundry #3. |
| 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. | Single mom working full time with two teenage sons that do very little. I also have a horse (my last) and 3 kitties. I manage to feed everyone but overwhelmed with responsibilities. I need repairs that I cannot afford right now and my child support may be held up since their father just lost his position. Our home is a mess and it affects both of my sons, and me of course. I went through chemo a few years back and tire easily. |
| 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. | Cat litter boxes are cleaned regular! Refrigerator for the most part Pretty good about removing outgrown clothes. |
| 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. | Strong responsibility towards my children and animals. I manage their food intake and do pretty well ensuring they eat healthy. |
| What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of? | Horses. Ha ha! Sadly I am on my last one. Finances do not support that luxury, just trying to provide for him until the end. I like things but nothing really brings me any joy except animals-something I can interact with. My sons are growing up and have their own pursuits now. I would also be a crazy cat lady if I could but I wouldn’t do that! Too much work and expense. Love them to pieces too. |
| 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 really, just wanted to say I enjoy your podcast. I appreciate your efforts to help us with our struggle with clutter. My greatest sadness is it negatively affects my boys, not just me. I had been able to do better but always struggled. When I ended my last relationship and I got cancer it has been so much harder for me energy wise. My brain slowed down a bit too. I am focused much harder on keeping my job more than anything. |
