Survey #262—Full Response from Danetta

| Describe a reality check you’ve experienced as you’ve worked to declutter and organize your home—a moment when you realized that your ideas about stuff were at odds with the reality of your life. | Some decluttering and containing is easy but two categories defy me: yarn storage and books. With dogged effort I can declutter a couple books a month and a couple yarns a year. This means that I can’t contain my books in a chosen container and have to find a secondary container and then a tertiary container. My yarn, likewise, exceeds. The closet space and then exceeds the bookcase and the rest is hidden in collapsible ottomans |
| Please share an “Aha!” moment you’ve experienced as you’ve worked to declutter and organize your home—an inspiration or flash of clarity that made the work easier or less emotionally challenging. | I was stuck recently with not being able to declutter anything. Decluttering yarn didn’t work but I had 5 linear feet of knitting books and patterns. I decided to organize them and was able to discard 4 books, 6-7 magazines and maybe 30-40 individual patterns. I’m down to 4 linear feet! Just looking through and dusting that shelf led to my unintentional decluttering. |
