| What was your proudest decluttering, organizing, or productivity achievement of 2024? | Due to a year of health appointments, procedures, operations and recovery I and my husband have endeavoured to declutter where we can. My weight loss of around 20 kilos during the year has slowed the closet declutter as I am not sure if all the weight will return. Instead of putting new elastic in my skirts I have folded the waist over and sewn them up partially. A friend gave me a bulldog clip when desperately in need at the shopping centre! It worked really well too. |
| Name two or three areas of your home, categories of stuff, or collections on which you’d like to focus your attention in 2025. | Books a category in progress. I want to read what I have starting with my least favourite ones and moving them on. Our late cat Tinkerbell’s items eg carry cage, scratching post, nail clippers etc. Whether it is a family member or a pet there have been things belonging to them that have had to go straight away and other items that we were not sure and we can take our time over. |
| What’s the most powerful affirmation, quotation, or aphorism that you repeat to yourself to unleash inspiration or energy when you’ve set your sights on a challenging goal? | Just do the best I can each day. We are only human and some days can accomplish more than other days. |
| 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. | Now we are switching more to paying by credit or debit cards do you find people are getting a receipt when asked by the shop assistant. To not hold up a queue behind I often do not worry for small cost items but check the screen and make sure of the cost before confirmation. Or if in a restaurant when ordering make a mental note of what the cost will be (as most times after ordering the menu is whisked away) so when paying I am aware of what the costs will be. |
| Future topics | Decluttering items that belonged to your pet And Family tree research. Where can people lodge family trees, photos collections if family members are not interested in keeping them or you do not have family now but want history preserved. The trades that people possessed or where they lived or why they moved to various places or how photos and clothing has changed through time. |
