| 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? | Shelving in the garage. In the past the garage has been a dumping place for unhoused items. I have been gradually condensing, organizing, and finding a home for items. My mom decluttered items that were not needed. I found it helpful when I have zoned the garage based on what’s there. Seeing the garage as zones has stopped me from being stuck in overwhelm. My vision for the garage is to open the door see exactly what’s there, walk up to the item I need, and easily put it back when I’m done. Listening to your podcast encourages me along my way to get the garage to where I hope to see it one day. |
| 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 have a few times bought something again after decluttering. I understood that this was a possibility. |
| 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. | Suggestions on decluttering the backyard of weeds and plants not wanted? I have a hill in my backyard, which makes it harder to declutter. I have envisioned it as a xeriscaping landscape. The hot weather slows me down. Thank you. |
| Future topics | Would love to hear more episodes on organizing multi-use/multi-purpose garages and backyard decluttering since those two areas I struggle with the most. I’m working on how I can zone my backyard during the summer time, so I can make progress without feeling the burnout. Thank you. |
