|---|---|
| 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. | fabric, patterns, and a box of kids tee shirts from sports, drama, etc I was going to make a quilt out of. The kids don't want the quilt, but I haven't gone through with them to see if I can recycle as cotton. They don't live here and don't have houses yet. |
| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | The stuff is in clear boxes in the garage and it is never top of mind. I am overwhelmed by the stuff right in front of me and currently yard work. |
| 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 love sitting on my patio in the evenings. Any time I can eat outside, it is wonderful. We have lots of rain (Seattle) so the outdoor season is short. |
| 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. | I need reinforcement about getting rid of valuable items. I don't want to sell on ebay, but I have emotional trouble (guilt) over realizing the sunk cost theory. |
| Future topics | 1) Getting out of the rut. I have a hard time scheduling fun because I always feel like I need to stay home to get one more thing done. Some days I don't leave the house and sometimes it feels better to conquer the project. Other times, I feel I should have gone out into the world. |
