Survey #262—Full Response from Peggy

← Go back

July 4, 2025

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.I bought lots of different shampoos and conditioners and foot lotions and such.

I wanted to be the type of person who cared for their hair and feet with these products. But I am NOT the type to make the effort to use hair conditioner or foot lotion. I have actually tossed mostly full items due to them expiring. Going forward, I am trying to be way more intentional in my buying and think about how and what I actually use.
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.Since I have a wardrobe of things that I like and that fit, I am slow to buy more. I am also slow to adopt things that are castoffs from others unless they are perfect for me size, style, and color wise. I do occasionally adopt something my daughter declutters and some of these items have become favorites. I have also later decided to declutter some of the adopted items.
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.What is your favorite thing about the work you do?
