Survey #270—Full Response from Anonymous user
| Describe ways in which clutter has interfered with your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities. | My clutter is “possibility” stuff. I have a table I got free to try painting, but it’s been here two years now and haven’t tackled. This is ne example of how my creative ideas cause me to stockpile something with no urgency to execute. There are three other paint projects I want to tackle on furniture I want to keep, so this stalled test project holds that up. Ot sre if it’s fear of failure (or making a mess) or just procrastinating that causes this. I don’t have a final color chosen for the pieces I want to keep, so there’s no urgency. A revolving door question. Not a focused answer to your question but the issue I face now. I am not a crafter as others are— this is my only creative project. |

| Describe ways in which the desire to declutter and organize your space has conflicted with or impaired your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities. | Always feel I should be doing the sorting/decluttering rather than things that will create a big mess and unknown time commitments. But then I procrastinate on that. So a neverending problem. That said, I got more decluttering done/volume out in Aug. than I have in months. |
| Describe ways in which your efforts to declutter and organize your space have enhanced your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities. | Decluttering my basement of all that inherited furniture and collections of three family members has given me space to spread out to do the painting projects I say I want to do. |
| Describe the key features of your ideal creative workspace. | Don’t have a specified area to do or store any supplies I’d use. Some already collected are in the “workroom” part of my basement. I don’t even have a full supply list created yet. |
| 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. | Just a topic suggestion — how to keep motivated. It’s an ongoing issue for me. I know answering “what’s your why?” is important but what if that isn’t enough? Any ideas from you or others who follow you would be interesting. Second question — have you (or do you already know) the demographics of the listeners? Are we approaching or in retirement primarily? Would be interesting to know and might give an idea to topic selection is we have more younger listeners too. |
