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?My husband is a pack rat. He also snores. We have a five bedroom house for just two of us. I sleep upstairs and he sleeps down. He uses two bedrooms downstairs and a huge full bath. I stay out of these three rooms as much as possible because they area so messy. He boxes stuff up but then just stacks the boxes all around the bedroom.
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?I don’t regret anything I have given away. I try to give away in batches that make a difference but aren’t huge. I also pack up my stuff and leave it sitting either in my SUV or bedroom for a few days (not too many days). If I think I will regret decluttering it I take it out of the give away pile and think about it some more.
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.None
