| Describe ways in which aging has negatively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | I don't have the energy to deal with it anymore so I make sure I don't bring in any new items unless replacing something that is going out. I deal with paper daily so that there isn't much clutter unless it is a project in process. |
| Describe ways in which getting older has positively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | We have only one child and I had her go through things and take what she wanted and got rid of the rest that was excess stuff. It was hard to get rid of an antique bed that belonged to my grandmother at the time. |
| Describe ways in which you’d like for your space and belongings to better support your goals and dreams for the next years of your life. | We downsized from a 3br 21/2 bath to a shared house where we have 1 br 1 bath and living room to ourselves with shared kitchen on the ground floor. We have an upstairs laundry room that requires going upstairs. |
| 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. | Decluttering hobby items because I can no longer do them was the hardest thing to admit and get rid of because I knew I would never do those things again that I had enjoyed for years. |
| Future topics | My husband needs things left out for a visual reminder and the projects in process piles get to me at times. I have never found a solution that works for both of us in almost 50 years! Anyone else deal with this? |
