| Describe a popular myth or misconception about clutter or organizing that you believed in the past, but have now come to see as incorrect. Who or what changed your mind about this idea? | 1. “It’s all my clutter, my mother is sooo organized.” Myth. She has kept things from my childhood and other- that I had long let go of. Just because it used to belong to me, or was bought for me- it doesn’t mean that it is currently mine. 2. It’s impossible to declutter. Myth. Every bit counts. 3. “Decluttering happens by getting rid of stuff.” True, but a lot of my decluttering happened as a result of a “buying fast” that forced me to go shopping in my own closet, and then really look at and consider things I had put aside. Some of these got used as is, some donated, some used after tailoring alterations - and this cleared up A Lot! |
| Describe a limiting belief about clutter or organizing that negatively affects your ability or willingness to address your home organization issues. This may be a belief that you inherited, picked up from popular culture, received from friends or family, or came up with all on your own! | All of the above assumptions, plus- certain things will never enter my life because I have not decluttered and the universe only fills empty spaces. Plus, I will feel a lack of abundance if the space is so empty (has not been entirely true). |
| 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. | Suggestion for tittle: do a load if laundry. Synchronize yourself and use the washing machine working as a co-working time. Tittle 2: put aside good things you could regift over the holidays. If you are in any gift swaps, agree that the swap can be with regifted or new clutter (with tags or simply bought but not used) items. See what comes. If you can’t do this, try adding a previously loved item to the brand new storebought gift if you know the person well enough. Tittle 3: shop in your own closet first for holiday wear. If traveling, observe how little you need over the days of travel. |
| Future topics | Crafting and identity. I really liked that comment from one of your viewers about her changing her misconception about herself that she can’t do the craft because she isn’t talented… an episode on feeling our craft fears and doing them anyway would be good |
