Survey #270—Full Response from Kate

← Go back

August 30, 2025

PronounsShe/her
Describe ways in which clutter has interfered with your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities.I was given a jigsaw puzzle but there are no free tabletop spaces to leave it out. So the puzzle stays boxed and unused.
There are dvd/vhs machines waiting to be repaired which are taking up benchspace too.
I plan to get the dvd/vhs machine repaired but due to ill health recently this priority has overtaken some other things.
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.I have an unused item to donate to someone and am waiting for them to get back to me. I cannot be bothered advertising it for sale.
However it is holding up space that could be better used for my record player which at present sits on the floor.
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.Once a space is cleared then it gives scope to eg get out a coffee table book to enjoy, maybe leave it out a week and then put it back on the bookcase. Those coffee table books seem to be the in thing now, not particularly a fan but there are some interesting titled and would like to read them at least once. They are not like a paperback where you can sit and read them on your lap.
Describe the key features of your ideal creative workspace.I would like to get back to drawing and would only need pencils and paper.
I want to make space in the desk drawer so any work in progress is neatly put away.
Future topics

With the internet providing so much information if you save it to your computer you are still making clutter and making notes is still making clutter how can we stop our need to feel that we must collect the info in case a website is no longer there later.

I feel it important to note things down for reference later but it is still making paperwork. I regularly go through any notes as some info does become irrelevant with time.
