| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B represents my current mindset. I like elaborate systems to organize my things so I can find everything quickly when I want to use it. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B is my mindset. It can be very hard to accomplish something but I always keep at it and I always like to ask for help when needed. Which is often because I have significant low energy. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement A mostly. I have decluttered a lot but those family members as such made me feel bad or/and sad. And letting go of stuff from former friends that I had liked to keep in my life makes me even sadder. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement A and B. Some things are irreplaceable. Some fine quality stuff just doesn't get made anymore. That makes me sad. I also see how much stuff I really won't need anymore and then I trust in that gut feeling. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement C - I feel bad for the money I lost but I can also try to sell stuff or just send it on to somebody else (curb market is fine by me). |
| Write a statement that summarizes your current mindset with respect to the decluttering and organizing journey. | I like to let things go that I do not like or that I don't want to use anymore. That is a great relief. And I love finding new ways to arrange my things to improve. I found a possibility to declutter a little to put up a sewing station that serves me. No need to lift heavy machinery from a closet but instead easy access. I did that last week and I am happy about it. |
| 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. | Some time ago you stated that DVDs are obsolete in general. I beg to differ because I like having movies of my own and rewatch them. I do have a sizeable collection but those are not a burden to me or my living space. I don't like streaming on my TV because I don't want to connect it to the internet. I might be quirky or strange but that doesn't bother me. It is part of a decluttered life for me, NOT to have Netflix or something like that because these services make me actually feel bad. I like these boundaries. Do you see advantages to "old media" stuff, too? |
| Future topics | Individual solutions for clutter that are not decluttering only but also a choice for feeling good or better. |
