Survey #255—Full Response from C

← Go back

May 9, 2025

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?Our so-called X room. I used to call it our doom room but was encouraged to find a more neutral name. It used to be our DDs room. It used to be a guest room until we donated her furniture to refugees, now it's our storage room, and in winter the balcony flowers get crammed in.
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?Yes, only for objects that have a monetery value, but the feeling of regret is temporary ! Sometimes it lasts a day, maximum a week. I now know this and it gets easier with every additional object. I've come to realize I don't have the time nor energy to try to sell things to recoup the "sunk" money
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 have a lot of plants. I love them, but it's getting to be a burden. Some are valuable (I've seen what's charged in shops). I'd like to give some, if not most of them, away, but I really want them to go to a "good home" . They are after all, living things. How do I get over this quandary?
Future topics

Preventing home hazards.
