Survey #237 Full Response from Ginger
| What was your proudest decluttering, organizing, or productivity achievement of 2024? | ▪️ Recycling all the old expired medications left from 2022 after my mother’s death and after my husband’s health crises. It was a huge amount. Mostly because of 90 day prescriptions - things like boxes of nebulizer meds in tubes. None of it was usable. ▪️I also made great progress on decluttering my husband’s clothes. 1st time in years. I found an easy way to help him thru this. I did all the leg work. ✔️1. We’ve done one category a week. Split bigger categories into sub-categories. ✔️2. I laid out a category on our bed. ✔️3. He looked and made 2-3 decisions. Keep, toss, buy/replace. ✔️4. He’s happy with the space in dresser drawers - he can see what he has. |

| Name two or three areas of your home, categories of stuff, or collections on which you’d like to focus your attention in 2025. | Next year - we plan to paint interior, replace flooring and 2 sets of living room furniture (upstairs & downstairs). I want to simplify. Fewer tables to dust. In preparation for this… My declutter projects are: ▪️My annual declutter pass through the whole house. I’ll update my inventory. Find new homes for any needed items currently stored in LR table drawers. Re-organize our small utility closet to store those items. ▪️Mom’s suite. Bedroom, bathroom, sewing room. It’s been 2 years. ▪️My craft supply closet. |
| 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 It!” - Nike. Over the years - this quote helps me stop overthinking and get things done. ▪️I’m a planner. Plans need follow-thru actions or the plans are just great thought pieces. ▪️My best action energy comes when I give myself 3 next steps. Make the bed, get dressed, start laundry. Start coffee, put away dishes, set-out water & meds. |
