| Pronouns | She/her |

| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B. I am a 60 YO female who has had a chaotic life and am just now able to breathe a little. I love your podcasts because I am learning what it means to be organized and how to bring more calmness and peace into my life. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B represents my current mindset. Although I used to feel completely overwhelmed, I have stopped bringing unnecessary things into my life and am able to gradually tackle the overflow. The bulk of the overflow is photos and special belongings of my loved ones who passed, as I am the only one left. So it's very painful, but with your videos I am learning to move onward. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Unfortunately, I have been much closer to Statement A, but just reading Statement B provides me with a new perspective. Thank you for offering this wonderful way to look at things. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | I'm much closer to Statement B, as I share a small apartment with 1-2 other people and simply don't have room or the bandwidth to store things that aren't essential. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B. The older I get, the less "things" mean and the more I want to pass them on to someone who can enjoy and value them. |
| Write a statement that summarizes your current mindset with respect to the decluttering and organizing journey. | Even though I've got a long way to go, I've also come a long way. Looking at my progress builds my enthusiasm and empowers me to keep going. Also I am gaining skills to enable me to further simplify. It's become a fun project especially having the comeradery of Gail and Ed and your community. |
| 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. | How do you feel about under-the-bed storage? It's not ideal, because "out of sight" is "out of mind" and I forget it's there. I also like the feeling of lightness that comes from not having things stuffed under the bed (it's better feng shui I've read). |
| Future topics | Any tips for organization and storage when you have multiple pets, such as my three grown male cats who jump on all surfaces, chew papers are all over everything? Anything on a surface that can be knocked over, will be. I generally like things to be visible, so it's hard for me to store it all in drawers and tubs. |
