| Describe ways in which aging has negatively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | Getting older (more mature) made me break free from the way I was brought up in regards how I feel about stuff. Also, seeing friends and in particular parents getting older and realising that one day we will have to go through their houses after they’ve gone (the friends have assigned the task to us). Feeling the weight of is already. I am almost 40 and want to have an easy to maintain house especially in regards to stuff and if something dreadful would happen I want it to make it easier for those going through my/our stuff. |
| Describe ways in which getting older has positively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | I’ve learned to recognise how freeing it feels when you don’t have excess stuff and an easy to clean house. I also learned to recognise where certain stuff patterns came from and realised they don’t belong to me. |
| 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. | More time for family. Having more room to make certain play area’s for our younger kids. |
| 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. | How does someone let go of the guilt about how much time it actually costs to declutter the excess? Some friends and family which have asked us to clear their houses after they’ve gone. Some of them have an extreme amount of stuff. A lot of sentimental things too. Hopefully I won’t have to deal with it for many years to come but where does one start in cleaning out those houses? |
| Future topics | Maybe a “where do I start in other peoples home’s after they’ve gone”. |
