Survey #267—Full Response from Julie
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe ways in which aging has negatively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | Photos and electronic clutter often trigger sadness, so I procrastinate dealing with it. |
| Describe ways in which getting older has positively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | I no longer feel guilty throwing things away if they are worn out or useless to others. I no longer try to give things away to the right place or people. |
| 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. | I've started to get rid of aspirational clutter, like crafts I used to do, outdoor gear I won't use again. I want my space to represent the things I enjoy now, not "maybe someday". e.g. "I'll read that book someday" |
| 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'm storing stuff for family members who don't even remember I have it, or whats in the boxes. Contacting everyone and getting them to deal with it is like herding cats. Nobody has time. Getting it all out to photograph or sort it will eat up precious time I would rather use doing fun things. (Or continuing to de-clutter my own stuff) Help! |
| Future topics | I'm storing stuff for family members who don't even remember I have it or what's in the boxes. Nobody has time to go through it. It's like herding cats to organize people. There are a million things I'd rather do than drag everything out to photograph it or sort myself. NO. Help! |
