Survey #255—Full Response from Aline

← Go back

May 9, 2025

PronounsShe/her
Is there a room or space in your home that you don’t love or that you tend to avoid using—or even entering? What factors contribute to your distaste for or lack of enjoyment of this space?I am so proud that I have just finished emptying our storage space that we kept… no that we paid for 20 years !! I called it Alibaba. I have been working emptying our garage from all that Stuff. Work in progress. This Friday, May 16th we have Bulk Trash Day. The garage will be empty !!
It is truly physical work that no one realizes.
Do you have regrets about anything that you’ve discarded or given away in your decluttering process? If you answered yes, how do you manage negative feelings about your choice? If you answered no, to what do you credit your satisfaction with the choices you’ve made?NO!!!
It is basically all Stuff! (Old Stuff !)
Things that you thought important at the time and we should have taken the energy every year to reevaluate the content.
But you get so busy with life that you don’t have time to do it.
On a smaller scale I noticed that even a small drawer in my kitchen or my bathroom needs a yearly reevaluation !!
That will now be my yearly goal !
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 don’t know how to deal with photos.
Should I scan the « best of »?? Keep them ?
I already took a long time to sort them by year. Interestingly the physical photos stopped around 2004/2005 when we started with memory cards.
Those do not take any space !
Future topics

Is it worth opening an eBay account for our Stuff ?
Or any other sites?
