Survey #230 Response from Dolce

|---|---|
| What is your clutter keeping you from having, from being, or from doing? Describe how your life would be different if all of your clutter disappeared overnight. What new—or familiar—activities, experiences, or things would you invite into your space? | If I could better utilize my built-in shelves and cabinets it would enable me to clear off the flat surfaces in my living room. I could then have a guest over and sit in the space to enjoy a cup of tea. Also, if I could declutter my garage it would enable easier parking the car or I could set up my exercise glider in there instead of bedroom |
| Describe an item in your home that you feel as if you couldn’t live without. What meaning or significance does this item hold for you? What feelings does it evoke? Do you love it? Need it? Use it regularly? Feel a sense of obligation about it? (And so on.) | I really love all my old vintage (worn out some would say) furniture so feel no need to buy more. Makes me feel safe at home in familiar surroundings when the rest of the world is in chaos. I've downsized my book collection significantly but some are precious to me as they were gifts from my mother or brother and we would read them together. Others are useful and I use often for reference. Spurs my creativity or contemplation |
| If you had to leave your home suddenly with no certainty of ever being able to return, what’s the one thing that you would take with you, and why? For purposes of this question, assume or pretend that you don’t have an emergency evacuation bag or kit prepared, and you only have time to grab one treasured item on your way out the door. | If we are talking with my heart then my dog's ashes then my car keys and my car. My dog and I spent many hours in my car together traveling. It was our home away from home. |
| 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. | What is the best way to utilize under the stairs storage closet? Too musty and damp for clothes and awkward for everyday storage. Best garage storage ideas: cabinets or shelves? |
| Future topics | Paper clutter and what really is the most important paper to keep. Some are obvious such as property records, birth certificate and insurance policy. But is there a list of how to decide best practices? I can use online banking but I still prefer paper bills or I will forget to pay. Can't keep track of emails |
