Survey #243—Full Response from Karen
| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | I started reselling in my retirement so I buy everything used; however I would never buy personal items used. |
|---|---|
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | I decluttered my entire first floor; however started reselling as a side hustle. My basement has gotten out of hand with all the things and I am having to start over in that area. The struggle is real trying to find a balance. |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a month |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | I try to keep my kitchen table, counter and sink clear. I am terrible at doing dishes and have to force myself to do them. |
| 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. | I’m sure this is similar to crafting but how do you keep your reselling business from spilling over into your house? My upstairs is clutter free but my garage and basement need an extreme purge. |
| Future topics | Thank you for all you do. You have helped me declutter my living space and now I am working on my garage and basement to get them clutter free. |
