Survey #219 Response from Anja

| Describe an object, collection, or category of items that you’re keeping even though its value, desirability, and/or usefulness to you has significantly diminished over time. | I have an artsy collection of paper to draw or paint on, lots of colours and pencils and stuff and also books on how to draw (in general, cartoons, animals...) and I haven't used those in a long time. Nevertheless I am very attached to all the supplies because I actually like drawing an watercolouring. I think I feel I am not good enough when using these papers and colours so I don't do it at all. So mindset problems getting in the way. Very tricky because I don't think it's clutter at all but underused stuff I actually would enjoy. |
| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | I do keep the stuff because I like it a lot. Also I worry what I would do with the stuff I create. That might be or become clutter. I want to create but I fear it might be clutter in the end. Weird worries. 'Actually a relative of mine stuffed her appartment with huge canvases of her own art and I hate how much of a cluttered space that makes her appartment. Horrible to me. |
| What’s your favorite thing about summer? And what could you do this week to make more room in your life or your home for your summer fun? | I would like to sit in my little garden if it wasn't that hot and humid. I'd also like to do little bits of gardening. Or care for my plants inside. |
| 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). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Do you have any idea how to improve my artsy dilemma? |
| Future topics | Please do an episode of how to deal with small stuff again. I loved the first one. |
